Everyone always knows what food to bring to a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, whether it’s the turkey, cranberries, or Aunt Edna’s family-secret pecan pie.  But do you know what beer to bring too?  Below is your beer pairing guide for every traditional Thanksgiving dish.  Widely available local beers are used where applicable, but some styles are […]

Even though the temperatures may not quite indicate it yet, winter is definitely coming.  At this year’s Dallas Untapped Festival in Fair Park, we saw the likes of those heavy heart-warming beers, from thick barrel-aged stouts, to big-sipping barleywines, to even a few oddities here and there. A few highlights from this year’s festival: Stouts: […]
