There really isn’t such a thing as a good or bad Dead and Company show, as much as it’s simply a highly unique, free-flowing collection of warm, herbal-scented vibes and, in the case of an outdoor concert in July, warmer temperatures. The current iteration of the legendary Grateful Dead led…
Longhorns, honky tonks, dancing tumbleweed, dusty cowboy boots and tobacco-chewing ranch hands are just some of the images that pop into the imaginations of the city folk unfamiliar with what life is really like in modern Fort Worth. Of course, Fort Worth is as much a gleaming metropolis as any…
After Noble Rey’s sale, its two taprooms closed and there’s no word yet on when or where they’ll reopen. In the meantime, their former Dallas Farmers Market taproom has been taken over by the 2nd Tap, which features one brewery at a time. Currently, it’s Manhattan Project Beer Co.

On Oct. 25, 2018, seemingly out of nowhere, it was as if a bomb had been set off in the Victory Park studio of 1310 The Ticket. BaD Radio, the highly rated sports station’s popular midday show starring Bob Sturm and Dan McDowell, was winding down its noon to 3…
North Richland Hills is about to get a new craft brewery and taproom: Brutal Beerworks.
When the “Beer to Go” amendment passed in the Texas Senate last week, it was easy to envision thousands of full pint glasses being hoisted in celebration from inside the state’s over 200 craft breweries. As a part of the Sunset Bill, Texas will no longer be the only state…
If you’re a music fan in North Texas and you’re not following your favorite record store’s social media accounts, you’re missing out. Sure, it’s nice to know which new releases the shop has on its shelves every Friday, but that’s not the real gold to be had in most cases…
The Skellig is growing: the Henderson Avenue pub has unveiled plans to add a massive new beer garden.
Craft and Growler is about to grow in a big way. Well, two big ways, actually: They’ll soon start selling food and brewing their own beer in-house.

Although times are certainly changing, when discussing mead around these parts, we must first dispense with the clichéd formalities: In North Texas, mead (aka, honey wine) has more or less been something that the one friend of yours who is way too into Scarborough Faire has insisted you try because,…
Nearing the halfway point of last weekend’s Velvet Hammer 5K at the Peticolas brewery inside the Dallas Design District, I caught a glorious glimpse of volunteers holding out small white cups of water just up ahead of me. As intensely needed as those life-giving helpers were, their usefulness paled in…
Florida dessert franchise Better Than Sex is bringing a candle-lit dessert bar — with dishes like “Rim Jobs” and “Gang Bangs” — to Plano this summer. But the restaurant’s owner says this salacious spot has a purpose: to rekindle the fire among Plano moms and dads.
