According to the latest numbers, there are nearly 300 events at over 100 venues on the bill for North Texas Beer Week. Yet, based on past experience, the most unique and intimate of them all will happen on November 18 at the Omni Hotel in Dallas.
Back for its third annual edition, the 2016 Brewer's Ball will bring together founders, owners and brewmasters from 45 breweries, giving you a chance to rub elbows with the men and women behind some of the most popular local and national brands available in North Texas.
While doing so, you'll be able to choose from a selection of 90 beers, conveniently listed below for your viewing pleasure, 27 of which are of the barrel-aged variety. And, if you want to talk about the "strength" of the beer list, over a quarter of the selections have an ABV of over 10% (so, naturally you're advised to plan ahead and drink responsibly).
Tickets for the 2016 Brewer's Ball are $125 (click here to purchase), with the total number available capped at 500 attendees. That price includes unlimited beer samples (i.e. no festival tasting cards), as well as noshes for nibbling provided from a dozen of the area's top beer-centric restaurants.
Also of note, this year's festivities include a free pre-party and live broadcast on SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket. Taking place on the lawn of the Omni Hotel, the gathering will feature a special toast by Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings.
All in all, it's an event unlike any other and one you simply don't want to miss (click here to see pictures from last year's event). Now, about that beer...
