Houston Beer Week and Dalla Beer Week Kick Off Today

Houston Beer Week kicks off with a Monsters of Beer Charity Festival in Guadalupe Plaza Park, and with over 100 microbrew choices. The proceeds go to local start-up charities, and 3,000 tickets are available.

Dallas Beer Week will include dinners, rare keg tappings, and special tastings all next week, culminating in a Saturday afternoon Beer Festival at Fair Park's Food & Fiber Pavilion building, featuring a dozen craft beer companies from Texas and more than two dozen craft breweries from around the U.S., including prestige labels such as Brooklyn, Dogfish Head, and Lagunitas.

Dallas Beer Week is organized by Cathy Clark and Jay Rascoe, the same people who organize Houston Beer Week.
