The Dallas Observer's annual beer festival — which packs more than 500 local, national and international craft beers into the Dallas Farmers Market every year — is going down Sept. 8. If you don't have tickets yet, now's a good time to buy.
General admission tickets start at $35 and include entry into the event at 7 p.m., a dozen 2-ounce beer samples (you can always buy more sample cards if you're particularly thirsty), entertainment and access to food vendors. Feeling fancy? For $65, a VIP ticket includes early entry into the event at 6 p.m. (avoid those lines, baby), access to a VIP area with private restrooms, liquor sampling and exclusive catered food from Great One Cookie Co., Pollo Campero and Old Chicago Pizza and Taproom.
On July 13, those ticket prices will increase to $42 for general admission and $75 for VIP. If you wait. Grab tickets ASAP to get the early bird rate.
