    Don't they know that Austin and Houston have stronger craft beer scenes than DFW!?!?! :confused:

    Hells yes! Can't wait to fight the hoards of beer geeks to get some Parabola and Abacus! And can't wait to try Velvet Merkin.

    This is fantastic news! I picked up a few bottles of Double Jack today in Chicago and can't wait to try it

    Exactly why they would come to DFW...less competition. They're taking notes from Ballast Point.

    I'm sick of this DFW crap. These out of state breweries need to realize that there are other markets.

    All of us non-DFW folks need to tweet them too. Make sure they know how many of us in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, etc., are dying to get their stuff here.

    They might think that Austin and Houston are saturated markets, but you'd think they'd wonder why DFW isn't...

    While Austin might buy more craft beer per capita, keep in mind that the DFW area is over 4x the size of the Austin area. I'm guessing that's the reason it is so attractive from an immediate expansion standpoint. Regardless, very exciting to see this in Texas period.

    Exactly. They're probably thinking about a territory ripe for growth.

    If we're saturated in Austin, what is San Diego? Soaking wet? Submerged in liquid? Perhaps it has become the liquid in this context?
