The city of Anna has officially joined the Brew City, Texas program, highlighting the city’s commitment to tourism and, of course, its fantastic beers — notably from 3 Nations Brewing.
Launched by the Texas Craft Brewers Guild in March 2024, the Brew City, Texas program aims to elevate and support the craft brewing industry across the state.
Why Anna Was Selected
According to the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, Anna, as the fourth fastest-growing city in the nation, continues to drive economic growth and enhance amenities for its residents through its 2050 downtown master plan. Joining this program underscores Anna’s commitment to becoming a destination for local beer enthusiasts and promoting craft beer tourism.
The city of Anna is collaborating with downtown businesses and landowners to cultivate a vibrant and distinctive downtown community. As part of this initiative, the city of Anna and the Anna Economic Development Corporation (EDC) partnered with 3 Nations Brewing to establish the city’s very first brewery.
Formerly the site of the old police station, the space has been transformed into a lively, family-friendly biergarten patio and taproom, offering some of the finest craft beers brewed in the county. Honoring the history of the building, 3 Nations created the “Cops to Hops” blonde ale — a crowd favorite that patrons can’t get enough of.
What This Means
The Texas Craft Brewers Guild’s Brew City, Texas Program is designed to position Texas as a leader in craft beer-driven economic development and tourism. With the craft beer industry contributing an impressive $4.5 billion annually to the state economy, communities across Texas are recognizing the pivotal role craft breweries play in driving economic growth, attracting food and drink tourism and cultivating vibrant local cultures.
Brew City unites cities of all sizes in a shared mission to elevate Texas as a premier craft beer destination, where visitors can explore diverse brewery scenes, savor local flavors and experience the culture of Texas craft beer.
