Early last week my friend Colin nudged me on FaceBook (thank you Colin!) to reserve my spot for this past Saturday’s private tour at Peticolas Brewing in Dallas. You can check our their FaceBook page for updates on the next available tour. I’m not sure how often he’ll do this sort of thing, but I highly recommend it! We ended up with a group of 5 people hanging out at Peticolas and it was a great time. Michael Peticolas (the owner of said brewing company) led a couple of quick talks of what brewing is all about. He walked us from malt to kegging; he stated that his brewing operation was deliberately planned and intentionally designed in a way to move product through a loop. In this “loop” approach (which most streamlined factory operations use) he is able to move the product as easily (and cleanly) as possible through its stages.
My recommendation for you is to grab some spots on the next tour, enjoy some killer brew, and then go camp out at the Meddlesome Moth afterwards for a late lunch.

Tanks and hoses. So fresh and so clean, clean.
Great brew at a great brewery
