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.

Best Little Brewfest in Texas Returns June 17




Best Little Brewfest in Texas
the only non for profit Brewfest in Texas!
Howdy, Y'all.  You are invited to attend the 5th annual Best 
Little Brewfest in Texas on Saturday, June 17, 2017We are 
an outdoor festival under large tents in the streets of Old 
Town Lewisville celebrating craft beer.  Beer? Did you say 
BEER?  We have 95 breweries with great craft beer from 
Texas and all over the country-sea to shining sea! Other 
adult beverages include ciders, hard lemonade and hard
 tea.  Soft drinks and flavored water is available for the 
designated drivers out there.  Guess what? Ten sponsored 
breweries will each have at least 6 beer selections, even 
special one-off beers made just for our event and other 
rare tappings in the upper grassy area of the Wayne 
Ferguson Plaza.  These breweries are in a cooler location 
closer to the music so you can tickle your taste buds and 
your auditory devices.
 
At 4 pm we hold our Professional Brewers Competition 
Award program inside the MCL Grand Theater, where 
we honor the best beer in about 29 categories from 
commercially brewed beer in Texas. Join us in the
 Black Box theater inside the MCL Grand Theater for 
this exciting event and take a break from the sun.
 
We have 2 music stages that will feature great local 
bands (TBA) inside the Wayne Ferguson Plaza on 
the Main Stage and an Acoustic stage to sooth your 
soul while cold beer soothes your throat.
 
Got kiddos? Our target audience is 21+. While not 
a children's event, some do come with their parents.  
Strollers are strongly discouraged due to space concerns.  
 
Come hungry! There are 6 food trucks as well as 
items such as kettle corn, shaved ice, beef jerky and 
spiced nuts to keep you in search of the next best 
beer you have ever tasted!
 
VIP admission is $70 and $90 with the shirt. Shirts 
will be ready for pick-up at the festival, no waiting in 
line required! VIP festival-goers have access to an 
air conditioned room with finger food snacks and 
choice beer selections.  VIP starts at 3 pm, an hour 
and a half early-get those limited specialty beers 
before they run out!  
 
General Admission is $40 or $65 with a special 
pre-made cool festival t-shirt. GA starts at 4:30 pm 
and the festival ends at 8 pm-the cooler part of the 
day!  If you choose a shirt package it will be pre-made 
before the event and waiting on you. Note: The law 
allows 12 samples at 2 oz. each, but we have additional
tasting cards for only $5 which gives you 12 more samples. 
You do the math! 
 
We give back!  100% of our profits support Cloud 9 Charities, 
a 501(c)3, that distributes the funds to deserving, local 
non-profit service providers who help needy women, 
children and families. So bring your family and friends 
and know that you are helping your community. Bring 
Dad since it is the Saturday before Father's Day-best gift ever!
