Tagging along with the SO for a conference she has in Forth Worth the next couple of days. Gonna be flying into and out of Dallas Love Field. Any good places to buy beers from in the area? Ideally stuff I don't have access to here around Baton Rouge.


Alvinne Omegia, Sigma and Phi, Urban Funkhouse, and a 4-pack of Community Barrel-Aged Legion


Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin', Ommegang Gnomegang, Dogfish 90 min, Victory Storm King, Dirtwolf and Hop Devil, Odell IPA, Prairie Artisan BOMB!, and Ska's Modus Hoperandi


Fantastic sour

Best IPA of the trip, not that shitty Sculpin

Really liked the Blood and Honey as well. Seemed to be pretty common everywhere there.

Amazing milk stout

And the worst for last, the better than shitty Sculpin but still shitty Grapefruit Sculpin

Sweet. Is there a good store I can go to to find these or are they pretty much readily available anywhere?

Specs and Total Wine....both are near each other off 75 and Walnut Hill area in Dallas. Whole Foods also has a good selection as does Central Market.

I will add to the list:
Texas Ale Project 50ft Jackrabbit IPA
Cedar Creek Dankosaurus IPA
Martin House Kafkaesque Imperial Smoked Black Rye Oaked Raspberry IPA....my personal favorite of all DFW beers along with Community Barrel Aged Legion.
Oasis Meta Modern session ipa and their Slowride Pale ale
Martin House Single Hop IPA (they use a different hop for every release.)

In Ft Worth, hit up Collective Brewing tap house, Flying Saucer Downtown, Bearded Lady in the Magnolia district and T&P Tavern in the restored old main Train Station. You can still catch a commuter train to Dallas there.

Right on. We're already going to Flying Saucer downtown for sure.

Don't think we'll have time for any breweries. I could leave the conference whenever I want since it's not my gig but she'll be there all day each day

Blood and honey blows IMO

Mosaic is my favorite IPA in the area.

I didn't recognize that Bomb! bottle. I want more of that right now.

BA legion is excellent. Excellent.

If you put Modus Hoperandi (which I like) ahead of Sculpin, I'm not sure what to say. I blame that shite town to the north for having old Sculpin as much as I blame your tongue.

Good haul.

Just be thankful you didn't say anything halfway negative towards Parish.
