Dallas Brew Bus The guys at Dallas Brew Bus are sending a bus to three different breweries, and have teamed up with the good people at LUCK to provide the snacks. The breweries are TBD, but hey, it’s beer -- it’s going to be cold and it’s going to be good. These typically sell out, so make sure you get your tickets ASAP.
