Hi BA's, Visiting Dallas on a work trip next month. Can anyone suggest some good bottle shops in the city? Looking for lots of Prairie, Perennial, Side Project, Jester King. Cheers
You will not find any Perennial or Side Project in Dallas as neither are distributed to Texas. IMO - Best bottle shops are Lonestar Beverages in Carrolton and Las Colinas beverages. You shouldn't have any issues finding Prairie and Jester King offerings at either of those. Best of luck to you! http://www.beeradvocate.com/place/city/31/
You might also want to visit Hall's Grocery at 4200 Glade Rd, Colleyville, TX 76034. It's out west towards Fort Worth a little bit, but worth the visit. One of the best bottle shops in all of North Texas. Cheers, Chad
Also worth your while is to look at the local liquor stores, SPEC's, Total Wine & More and Goody Goody, of which I tend to find SPEC's has the best selection. Also, for grocery stores, check out Central Market and Whole Foods, of which I find CM has the better bottle selection and both do growler fills. You can probably find all of these in decent proximity to where you are staying. Good luck hunting and enjoy your stay in DFW!
If you make it over to Arlington check out Kool Keg. We have a wide selection of Prairie, and every Jester King bottle that has made it to disto in the DFW. In addition to the bottle shop we are offering growler fills. Here is the link to the current draft list http://www.kool-keg.net/growler-filling-station/ Cheers!
If you end up going to Lonestar, it would also be worth your time to hit up Webb Chapel Beer & Wine (less than 10 minutes away). Small convenience store set up, but they have a great selection. Several Jester King options when I was there a week or so ago.
