Dig into something special—come try our Mac Rib, where creamy mac and cheese meets tender shredded ribs and crisp red onion on a soft toasted bun. 🥪 Which would you add: extra onions, a splash of BBQ sauce, or do you keep it classic every time? 🧀

Early voting starts TODAY! 🗳️🍺

At Intrinsic, we typically stay out of politics. We believe everyone should make their own decisions, but we've always encouraged people to get out and vote.

This year, we're making an exception when it comes to Garland's Proposition A.

Intrinsic supports Proposition A, and here's why:

Over the last 11 years, we've watched Downtown Garland grow into a place where people come together for live music, festivals, art, food, and community events. These events are a big part of what makes downtown special, and they're important to businesses like ours in Downtown Garland

Proposition A has a direct impact on funding for many of these events, along with public safety, parks, libraries, and other crucial city services.

The proposed City property tax rate is actually lower than last year's rate. So voters can choose to fund city servceses and events AND get a lower rate by voting YES to prop A. Like having your cake and eating it too.

For us, this issue is about the future of the community we've invested so much into.

So, we support Proposition A. But what's a brewery supposed to do about it? Brew a b**r, of course! 🍻

Introducing Vote YES for Proposition A, a Hazy Pale Ale brewed with Azacca and El Dorado hops.

Whatever your position, we encourage you to learn about Proposition A and make your voice heard.

Early Voting: October 19–30
Election Day: November 3
