• The Hophead: After A Visit to The Old Monk, I May Join A Monastery

  In heaven there is no beer so we drink it here. --Trappist Monk Proverb (or Polka lyric) The Old Monk 2847 N. Henderson 214-821-1880 Edging to a table at the Old Monk, I noticed a young man drinking Miller Lite and nearly stopped in my tracks. In a bar with such an admirable selection of handcrafted specialty beers and imported ales, opting for flavorless, lowest-common-denominator grain-water would be like going to a steakhouse and insisting on hamburger, well-done. Don’t get me wrongâ

• Echoes and Reverberations: Loco Gringos Vivir Para Siempre en Nuestros Corazones

  For more photos, album art and show posters, check out our slideshow here.Dallas bands are usually judged within the context of their efforts and accomplishments. Some spend stupid money on hair care products and aspire to a label deal; other bands actually rehearse and wanna make an important artistic statement. Then you had the Loco Gringos. They were here to make you feel good about being drunk. Born out of the ashes of The Devices, the Loco Gringos were brilliant because they were never tr

• Hophead: Too Much Of A Very Good Thing

  Sometimes too much to drink is barely enough. --Mark Twain (and with Dogfish Head's super-strong beers, barely enough really is enough)When I was a kid, my Papa Salfi had a framed poster in a guest bathroom from which I first learned about the effects of alcohol. It had a numbered series of lines on which he had signed his full name. By the seventh or eighth, his signature had devolved into an illegible scrawl. The tenth was just a crooked line. Printed across the bottom was the moral: "You can'

• Whitt's End: 5.15.09

  Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Of the Texas Rangers' hot start - they are 20-14 compared to 14-20 last year - the most amazing feat is pitcher Matt Harrison's back-to-back complete games. If you're looking for Nolan Ryan's stamp on this team, there it is. The Rangers had only five complete games last year and none in '07. Ryan, who had six complete games for the Rangers as a 42-year-old and once threw 239 pitches in a gam

• Bottles, Bottles Everywhere...But Not A Drop To Drink

  ​No segment of the food and beverage industry so reflects the desire for smaller, more personalized purveyors than wine. Wine lovers want magic and prestige--not a mass-market bottle from a corner gas station (usually found in a cooler, right next to the Coors Light).But therein lies the trouble. What we sacrifice when choosing a fancy boutique over a convenience store is just that--convenience. Take our recent exasperating adventure in small Dallas wine shops, for example: We set out for

• Cowboys Stadium: Reviewing Our Suite Dreams

  Somehow seven years ago I didn't forsee 5-star bars equipped with back-lit chandeliers and littered with HDTVs.​Back in 2002 when I was at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram we first started getting wind that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was toying with the idea of building a new stadium. "Gather some ideas, solicit some fan feedback and let your imagination run wild," my editor told me at the time. "Let's give readers a picture of what a stadium might look like in the future." Fun.
