Deep Ellum Brewing company turned 1 year old on November 17, 2012. To celebrate, they threw a big birthday party. With beer, of course.

DEEP ELLUM — It's already been a year since Deep Ellum Brewing Co. opened its doors, and what a year it's been. About 10 breweries in DFW have sprung up recently, providing craft beer drinkers a bevy of brews without having to travel far.

Deep Ellum Brewing Co., since its inception, has created more than a half-dozen beers, opened a bottling service, and started selling beer in dozens of bars and package stores in North Texas. At its anniversary party on Saturday, the brewery easily reached capacity.

The party featured tastes of their special birthday beer, Pollenator, an oak-aged honey doppelbock with a steep alcohol content of 9.5%. (See an explanatory video of the beer here.)

Here are some highlights from the fun afternoon event:
