Dallas/Plano trip

[ehk089]

im flying into Dallas this week to stay a few days in Plano for work. Looking for recommendations on breweries to hit on the way from the airport to plano(a 30 minute drive I’m told). Any help would be appreciated if any locals can chime in.

Celestial looked cool but opens up too late today

Celestial looked cool but opens up too late today. I did find one of their neipa on tap and it was pretty damn good.

I like there beer. Not quite the mouthfeel feel of a typical true NEIPA but they rock the flavor profiles! Another Texas brewery I love is ingenious. They are in Huston area and make absolutely stunning milkshake style sours and IPAs. I had a peach cobbler ipa from them with peaches, cinnamon, graham, and vanilla that was Dryhopped With citra and Amarillo and it was a true masterpiece of brewing balance and precision

Ended up at unlawful assembly( after going to a tap house I didn’t know was a coffee shop)

Go White!

I don't know for sure the reasons they closed. I think they were just having a hard time in a competitive market. They had a few good beers but also some pretty lousy ones. There's another brewery in Grapevine called Hop & Sting and I believe they took over Grapevine Brewing's space. I don't get up to the Grapevine area very often, it's a hike from the part of Dallas where I live.
