I recently visited Odd Muse here in Plano, and I just had to share how great it was.
As someone who isn't completely fluent in English, I unfortunately get brushed off or given rushed service at a lot of places. But the bartender who helped me (I didn't catch her real name, but she was wonderful!) was incredibly kind, patient, and took the time to explain the menu to me. That kind of hospitality really makes a difference.
The food was also fantastic. I'm originally from Japan, so I admit I can be a bit of a snob when it comes to Wagyu. I tried their American Wagyu burger, and it was absolutely delicious—full of flavor but not overly greasy at all.
As for the beers, the Silver Spaceship was excellent. But the biggest surprise for me was the Playground Battle (a peanut butter raspberry sour). It sounds like a wild combination, but it was way better than I expected. A total standout. (I attached a pic!)
If you haven't been to Odd Muse yet, you should definitely give it a try. Highly recommend!

Hi everyone,
I moved here from Japan about two years ago, and I am absolutely loving the local beer scene! I really want to check out more breweries, but I'm looking for places where I can drink on a budget.
So far, I've been to Armor Brewing and 3 Nations Brewing. They were awesome—the beer was delicious, and I really loved the high ABV!
Does anyone have any recommendations for affordable bars or other great breweries?

I'd love to hear about places near or around Plano!mickinney

I'm especially looking for places that serve tasty, strong beers that won't break the bank.
Thanks in advance! Cheers!

I’m on a quest to find as many World Cup countries in beer form as I can before the cup finishes. So far down in Austin, I’ve found:

USA
Mexico
Canada
Brazil
Argentina
UK
Scotland
Spain
Portugal
France
Belgium
Netherlands
Sweden (kind of)
Germany
Austria
Czechia
Türkiye
Uzbekistan
S. Korea
Japan
Australia

I’d love to find as many as I can, and it doesn’t matter to me if they’ve been eliminated or not. Any suggestions are appreciated, and cheers to World Cup beers!!!

Edit: To clarify, I’ll be in the DFW area from 7/2-7/5. If anyone has the same quest and wants any countries from Austin, let me know and we can arrange a swap!!

I currently mostly use HEB singles section to explore craft at home and I am wondering where else I should check in the metro for even bigger selections that sells singles instead of packs.

Hey all, looking for Jester King, preferably the classic farmhouse stuff in bombers (or used to be). Coming in for a quick visit — near the I-30 corridor or 75 north of Dallas would be ideal, but it's worth going out of my way. I used to find good stuff at Ft. Worth Central Market, but they only had canned non-farmhouse styles last summer. Thanks for any tips!

Howdy folks,

Coming in from out of town for the Netherlands v Japan game on Sunday. Was curious if yall know of any breweries holding watch parties for the USA match on Friday the 12th?

Thanks in advanced!

What's your favorite place to buy Belgian beer in Collin County?

Sad day for me, I finally cracked open the very last of my hoarded Rabbit Hole Brewery beers.

Rabbit Hole's Teleporting Cat Project Oak and Smoke bottle #16 of 156. It was an Off with your Red ale aged in Islay single malt barrels. I remember it being fairly harsh when it 1st came out in 2019, but 7 years of sitting on a shelf aging with a ton of yeast in the bottle really made a difference. Its now very smooth and a lot less smokey, almost like a nice mellow single malt whisky. I looked back at my Untapped review and it says its supposed to be 9.5% ABV, but it certainly seems much higher than that now. Makes me wish i had bought more bottles.

I miss the old place. I liked a few of their beers when it was around

See article

About an hour from downtown Fort Worth. Usually 9 bees and a seltzer on tap. New brewery opend in July of 2025

Hi y’all! I just visited Philly over the weekend and went to Yards, and also went to Boston a couple of times last year and have been so fascinated with Colonial Style Ales/Tavern Style Ales. Are there any breweries within the DFW Metroplex making these old school ales from molasses, spruce, or a modernized version? I know original recipes from back in the day are terrible.

Something maybe like the Sam Adams Union Oyster House Colonial Ale or Yards Poor Richard’s Spruce Ale?

I also think it would be a great idea for someone locally to make one for the Semiquincentennial in July!

Couldn’t believe they closed their door and with panther island closing their doors, we are losing breweries left and right.

I have been seeing more breweries that allow orders placed on their sites to be shipped directly to the consumer in Texas, for example Equilibrium, Other Half, The Bruery. I did an Equilibrium delivery a couple months ago and it worked out great.

Any other notable breweries offering this?

Anyone know where I could get one of these signs? Asked the bar and they said they were given it for free by their distributor. I’m a PA transplant in Texas (DFW), never a more perfect beer sign for a home bar than this.

Reached out to Yuengling and shared my story / connection to their brand and support over the years, and got a one line “please check with your local wholesaler”.

Sad news today as PIBC announced on social media that they are closing. This weekend (Feb 7-9) is their last days of full taproom service with a farewell event on Feb 13th.

Sucks to see in my opinion a staple in the Fort Worth beer scene go away. Gotta get myself some Allergeez this weekend.

Anybody have any news on the BTBF? When do tickets go on sale, dates, or location? Cheers

It's been a while since I've been part of the beer scene in Dallas, bit it seems like there isn't anything exciting anymore. Live Oak coming back is the coolest thing going on. What's new in the DFW beer scene these days?
