Heading to Dallas for the weekend. What should I pick up and where's some places with a good selection of local brews on tap?
Looking for IPAs and porters.

If you can find Martin House Friday IPA its fantastic.
Other good IPAs are Community Mosaic, Oak Highlands Derelict, Texas Ale Project 50 ft. Jackrabbit, Deep Ellum IPA
As for Porters, 512 Pecan Porter (Austin) is world class. Other than that I don't know as I usually go for stouts over porters....Lakewood Temptress milk stout is solid....you may be able to find the BB version on tap but I wasn't impressed with it this year. Community Legion is a great RIS.
Tell me what part of DFW you are going to be in and I'll point you to some good pubs.

Stout recs are good too.
Staying in the Lakewood area, and except for being downtown tomorrow evening for a show I'll be all over. Plan on ubering quite a bit.

Perfect......that's where I live. All these places are an easy Uber ride from Lakewood.
Meddlesome Moth....its over close to American Airlines arena so its the furthest from Lakewood on my list. Probably the best selection in Dallas but not by much. Good food but a little more "Dallas" than I prefer.
Craft & Growler....over by Fair Park, great selection with emphasis on local stuff.
Strangeways- My favorite place.....just a laid back place, kind of funky, owned by a brother & sister (Venezuelan maybe) who tend bar there during the days/ early evenings. Named after the Smiths album Stangeways Here We Come. They always have the most eclectic tap list with a fair number of sours.
Lakewood Growler- on Mockingbird at the northern edge of Lakewood....small place with a pretty good tap list....more of an older crowd here.
Dots Hop House- New place in Deep Ellum, huge outdoor courtyard with a good tap list. I've been once and liked it but I was with a group.....and its seems more like a place to go with some friends than by yourself.
Brain Dead Brewing- In Deep Ellum, Brew Pub that has their stuff and other breweries stuff on tap. Nice place to hang with an nice outdoor area.....right across the street from Pecan Lodge Barbecue....you should go to Pecan Lodge for sure....one of the best BBQ places in Texas.
That should keep you busy.
ETA: Noble Rey Brewing has a new tap room at the Farmers Market. I haven't been but there stuff can be good.....but they seem to be concentrating on the middle of the road stuff....I had an IPA of theirs when they first opened the brewery that was great but they never released it.
Texas Ale Project has a cool brew house in Downtown near the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge....its a cool space and they do good beers.

Do you know when this place opened up, Zappas?
The wife and I were in Deep Ellum last night to eat at Cane Rosso and the wait was about an hour for a table. We decided to go grab a drink while we waited and just stumbled into Dots by chance. I was really digging it, but agree it's designed to be more of a place for groups to hang out. It has a huge outdoor space so I was fairly surprised I hadn't seen it or heard of it before.

Sounds right. Last time I was in Deep Ellum was probably early November and I'm pretty sure it wasn't open at that time.

I'm no expert on DFW airport. But Stampede 66 is a well known Dallas chef's place at the airport. Not sure what the beer selection is though. Gas Monkey has a spot there but not sure what beer they have on tap.....they do have some craft beer though.
