Ya I saw that. Just wasn't sure which breweries would be giving out beer.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

That's all I could find as well. As long as Boulevard is giving out beer I will be VERY happy!! You going to try to go?

 

[jww9618]

Unfortunately I won't be able to go. Already have a big brew day scheduled that day with some friends and family.

Have you found any good beer bars around your area. It's pretty slim around the Frisco area.

Of course its on the one weekend I'll actually be doing something (other than BBQing and brewing beer) for the next few months. I wish I could go, it sounds like a good time. Damn.

There are some really good pubs in the Frisco area. The Holy Grail is on Preston just south of 121 on the east side. Nice multi-tap. The Gingerman is in the Shops at Legacy at Legacy and DNT. There's also a Ringo's Pub and Gordon Biersch in there. If you just want some hot chikcs and a beer or two, there's always Twin Peaks

Oklahoma having it's first "Craft Beer Week/Festival" next month also. Re-scheduled a surgery so I could attend!

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

That's awesome. Where and when is it?

If this is in reference to the OK Beer Fest, Downtown OKC on Sheridan, May 21st. Looking forward to it!

 

[davefleck]

Darn, in OKC the weekend prior

 

[Brennan]

I'll be there. Looking forward to it. Seems like these beer festivals are popping up all over the place in TX. I'm hoping this is the beginning of TX beer renaissance.

 

[freelunch]

I won't be able to make the brew festival, though I will almost certainly be at Brew Riot near downtown Dallas on May 22.

Holy grail... preston and 121

 

[Brennan]

+1 on Holy Grail. It is awesome. I don't know what it's doing in Frisco

The food there is outstanding as well.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Love the Holy Grail! Go there as often as I can.

@ Freelunch...what can you tell me about the Brew Riot? I've never heard of it, but a friend told me about it earlier this week. It doesn't seem to be in a very good part of town. Certainly not a part of town I would expect to embrace craft beer! Colt 45, yes. Craft beer, no!

Homebrew competition hosted by Eno's Pizza Tavern. South Oak Cliff is ghetto, but Bishop Arts and north Oak Cliff are great areas, and the area has large number of homebrewers.

I will try to post back later with the website URL, and any more details I can get my hands on.
