Having lived in Houston for the past 15 years, I have learned to despise all things Dallas. I can’t stand the Mavericks, I absolutely hate the Cowboys, while knowing nothing about hockey I still dislike the Stars and even the Rangers irk me (quit pretending you are not a Dallas team).
That being said, I have found the one thing from Dallas I actually like, other than our readers in Dallas who are awesome. Deep Ellum Brewing Company.
I was first introduced to Deep Ellum at the Texas Beer Fest and quickly became a huge fan. Everything these guys brew is incredible, especially their IPA.
This year-round offering is quickly becoming one of my favorites in fact if they ever get it into stores in Houston it might be my favorite…hint, hint. It has a nice copper color with strong hoppy aroma. While starting off slightly sweeter than most IPAs it makes up for that with a strong citrus hop finish. At 7% ABV you can keep enjoying Deep Ellum’s Flagship Brew by having a second glass (or more). In Houston I know you can find this gem at Rockwell Tavern & Grill along with a huge selection of other great craft brews. If you find it anywhere else, please let me know.
Maybe Dallas isn’t so bad after all, but I still hate the Cowboys…Go Texans!
Chunk Like!
Welcome back Chunk!
Just checked out this brew at Hay Merchant and agree. Very hoppy but not overly bitter. One of my top IPA’s now. Suit like!
As for Dallas… you are being way too kind.
Had one last night at Rockwell – agree with your review. Taplister says its on tap at Beavers as well as The Hay.
Most craft beer joints in Houston are on Taplister – available as a website, and convenient phone app. Highly recommended.
This is my first time viewing your site. Good job.
