    Theyve applied for their brewpub license, if that counts for anything.

    Any updates / inside info? Seems like it should be in the next month or two, no?

    Welp. They open and they bad.
    Hit the ground running with fire brew juice bombs.

    And they are going to continue innovating and mixing it up going forward.
    I respect these guys hustle.
    They scaled up with very few hiccups because the two brewers were used to production distro brewing.

    I'm glad to see they're having success. I'll definitely be making rounds out there as soon as they're officially open.

    If you are not already, you should follow their FB page and/or the DFWLTCB grp. They are good about posting frequently.

    I went to the soft opening last Saturday and enjoyed the beers and can only imagine the potential once they tweak the recipes on what is already really good beer, and expand the lineup.

    The grand opening looks like they're going to have stouts on as well. I envision these guys having wrap around lines for can releases in the not too distant future - the real sign of success today.

    Went up there yesterday and it was packed! Got a growler of Fleeb Juice and Extra Pulp. They're good. It's a 45min drive for me so I doubt I'll be going up there much. If they get their cans in to stores, I will buy though.

    I was also there yesterday. I still really don't see why these hazy incarnations of IPAs are so sought after.

    I had both Extra Pulp and $Texas. They were decent IPAs.

    I'm gonna go there. They're like [ ] this far on the map. I could walk home. But after 4?

    Besides Malai's rotational...can you seriously name some better DFW IPAs? Hazy or not

    I haven't had most of the IPAs around the DFW area. I said that I don't see why people rave about the hazy IPAs.

    They tasted like raw hops. The $Texas was slightly interesting because there was a slight sweet grape flavor on the front end. But the Extra Pulp just had the same piney fruity hop aromas that are so predominate with hoppy beers around here.

    They tasted like water to me with no malt backbone to even try to stand up to the hops.

    But then I really don't enjoy drinking IPAs most of the time because they are extremely boring to me.

    Interesting, soooooo, perhaps they’re not for you?

    Maybe. Maybe not. I crave IPAs occasionally, especially when the wife goes out of town (it reminds me of college).

    Most of the time though I don't drink them because I get bored of them and I find beers with both noticeable hop AND malt much more interesting.

    But even then I think it was fairly clear that these beers are especially not for me. I could tell some mouthfeel but the beers tasted more like when I've tried making tea from hops.

    The FB hype on this brewery is nuts. I'm going to go get some more of their beer next weekend and see how their stouts are (along with some new hazy IPA they're releasing). But as it stands, their IPAs are just "pretty good." They're very bitter which is fine by me, but doesn't really jive with the NEIPA style guidelines.

    Not to knock TP, I think so far I'm happy with them and hope to drink more. Make it hazy and watch the people go crazy, I guess.

    Had their A Nu Start Triple IPA today and it's damn good. Plan on going out to get cans tomorrow.

    stopped by TP and was pretty impressed since it is a new brewery. Everything I tried was good. Good addition for DFW
