  Rock stars plus alcohol can add up to a lot of things. But when you add organic grocery stores to the rock and booze equation, the sum must certainly change, right? Guess we'll find out when Maynard James Keenan makes an appearance at the Whole Foods Market in Plano from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., March 23 where he'll be signing bottles of wine from his 80-Acre Arizona Stronghold Vineyard. You could write this off as just another rocker's vanity project, but Keenan is an honest-to-goodness vintner. T

  Souverain's Winemaker's Reserve Cabernet, one of the wines to be featured at Jasper's tomorrow night.Beer pairing dinners have been the rage of late, but apparently some people still do things the old-fashioned way. Kent Rathbun's Jasper's (7161 Bishop Rd., Plano) is offering a four-course wine pairing dinner with Ed Killian--good name for the maker of a mass produced "Irish" red beer, although he's really the head winemaker of Souverain Winery in California's Alexander Valley. The dinner is $75

  Why in the world would anyone leave San Diego to visit Dallas in late June? Well, if you're Stone Brewing Co. head brewer Mitch Steele, leading a beer dinner at Dallas' best bar and the restaurant with the best bar food is enticement enough. The Libertine Bar (2101 Greenville Ave.) will be the host of a five-course beer dinner starting at 7 p.m. Wednesday. Cumin grilled scallops, shrimp ceviche, beef osso buco and more will be paired with Stone's Ruination IPA, Arrogant Bastard, Imperial Russian

• Hophead: New Belgium's Hoptober, Paulaner's Oktoberfest And Sam Adams' Octoberfest--A Three-Way Rocktober Smackdown!

  ​As it is now officially Rocktober, Oktoberfest beers are replacing summer brews on store aisles, bar coolers and tap walls. Apparently, though, not all brewers have the traditional Oktoberfest German Marzen-style amber lager in mind for this month. New Belgium, best known for Fat Tire, has introduced a new golden ale, Hoptober, which bears little resemblance to the malty lagers that typify the Oktoberfest style. It's a refreshing--literally and figuratively--change of pace for the season. In

• Hophead: Beer Across Texas Guides Brew Lovers To The Lone Star State

  ​Fort Worth's Paul Hightower may make his living as a technical writer, copywriter and indexer, but one of the great passions in his life is beer. On his Dallas Craft Beer Examiner blog, he is a relentless and well-informed cheerleader for the best beers available in North Texas, whether they're brewed locally or abroad. Writing a guide to Texas brewers would seem an obvious choice for a textbook author with such an extensive knowledge of the subject. As it turned out, though, his friend and f

• Hophead: Michelob Rye P.A. And Bavarian Wheat Outdo Some Craft Brewers. What Is The World Coming To?

  Jesse HugheyMichelob Bavarian Wheat​Last week, Pyramid's Haywire Hefeweizen proved a tad, shall we say, underwhelming. This week seemed a perfect opportunity to try a couple of macro-brewed attempts at craft-brew styles, just to put things in perspective. After all, if a relatively small outfit like Pyramid can't get the wheat-beer style right, surely a lowest-common-denominator, masses-pleasing corporate behemoth like Anheuser-Busch couldn't do a better job, could it? And then there's this ne
