Founded in 2007 in Florida, World of Beer is a place to sip craft beers, eat, and watch sports. The chain exploded across the eastern seaboard of
the U.S. and even into Asia.
World of Beer was successful for over a decade, but the pandemic took its toll on the company. After closing 15% of its locations, the company filed for bankruptcy in August 2024.
Luckily, in December 2024, World of Beer came out of its Chapter 11 filing restructured and with plans to open several new locations a year through 2029.
The chain re-opened a location in Fort Worth, Texas, on December 21, 2024, and has plans to open
a brand new World of Beer in Annapolis, Maryland, in 2025.
