I only know the north country, Zap or Rouge can probably clue you in on Dallas proper. Up north, I usually hit Mr. Gs or Keg & Barrels and maybe Whole Foods (that location seems to slow play JK special releases and I've gotten stuff there weeks after everyone else sales out)

Whole Foods Lakewood
Central Market (Greenville & Lovers)
Specs(off 75 at...Walnut Hill I think)
Total Wine & More (near Specs off 75)
Another good place is Davis Street Liquor in Oak Cliff on Davis Street. Small shop but good selection. More pricey though. Again, gotta ask them whats in the back.

At Wholefood, ask for Wes. If he's not there, go to the bar, yes there is a bar in WF, and ask the bartender what good beers they have in the back. They always keep the good stuff in the back. Specs is like that too.

At Central Market....there is a big guy with curly longish hair and glasses that is good to talk to....can't remember his name.....

Some places here in Denver pull that shite. I absolutely hate it. Either put it on the shelf or hoard it, don't make me go through the charade.

Deep Ellum IPA
Lakewood Hop Trapp and Trmptress
Sixpoint Resin
Jester King if you like sours. I've seen A lot of Boxers Revenge on the shelves.
Real Ale Devils Backbone.
Martin House outta fort worth may be on the shelves in a couple of weeks. I saw a pic of there cans sitting in their brewery for distribution.
Lagunitas stuff if you can't get it.
Founders is here but I haven't been impressed with their stuff I've had.....just IPAs.....

Southern star Valkerie may be on the shelves. It hit Houston this week.

Santa Fe Java Stout and their pale ale is.damn good in the heat.

FYI FW stuff that is easily found is Union Jack, Double Jack, Wookey Jack, Double Barrel and their Porter. Not sure I've seen anything else.
