Big Texas Beer Fest You'll be greeted by more than 106 breweries and 400+ beers (last year’s numbers, which they expect to be bigger this year). The beer list won’t be released until about a week before, but every year promises plenty of special releases, one-off beers, and rare firkins. Food trucks and live music will round things out.

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.
