## About

Intrinsic Smokehouse and Brewery in downtown Garland opened its doors in early December—with a grand-opening on December 5th 2015 – on the anniversary of the repeal of prohibition. Located at 509 W. State Street in the heart of the city’s historic square, Intrinsic was the first brewpub to open in Garland and specializes in house-made beer, soda and barbecue.
Truly setting this brewpub apart is the inviting and unique atmosphere with it’s handmade furniture, colorful murals, brewhouse and barrels in plain sight, and large patio/stage hosted in a roofless building next door. 
In addition, Intrinsic’s brewpub licensing also allows them to act as a growler-fill station. Don’t worry if you forget your growler; Intrinsic will can your favorite beers on the spot as you check out.
Brewing and BBQ both have long standing traditions in almost every culture. Intrinsic knows
their roots but are not afraid to explore with the flavor of their meats and brews. Craft beer is about
quality, bbq is about family, and Intrinsic is about both.
