Greetings

Dallas has few diversions other than eating, drinking and shopping.....and shopping does not interest us.
So we spend our time hopping from restaurant to restaurant and to every pub that we can find in search of the perfect meal and the perfect beer.

We randomly review restaurants and bars, dishes and beers at whim and give our brutally honest opinions of our findings. And while we concentrate on Dallas, we travel far and wide to sample cuisine from all regions of the country and beyond.

Would it sound OCD of me to admit that we schedule many of our trips and vacations around beer events?  You, too?  Cool.  Here are a few drinking events you may wish to attend if you are looking to travel in January (Courtesy Beer Advocate).
