So this list is just the facts, ma’am. The who, what, where, when, and why of beer-centric events in North Texas. Keep checking back as we find more throughout 2018. We also have some tips about attending beer festivals from the good people over at Beer & Brewing Magazine:

Bonus Fun Stuff: Unique Ideas for a Fun Mothers Day Brunch.

check Do your homework about which breweries will be attending and ask the vendors about the beer to help deepen your understanding.

check Eat a meal about an hour before the festival. Being too full or too empty can be uncomfortable.

check Stay hydrated. For every ounce of beer you drink, drink the same amount of water.

Let’s get sloshed! I mean, let us sample an astute variety of local craft IPAs with enthusiasm and aplomb, James!
