ARLINGTON, Texas It’s National Barbecue Month, and in Texas, brisket is king. It’s easy to find moist, lean or chopped brisket in practically every corner of this state, but there’s a place in Arlington that’s taking brisket to another level.
“The same old thing over and over, it gets boring,” said Rene Ramirez, owner of 225 Barbecue in Arlington. “You got to throw a curve ball out there and surprise people.”
After a year of hunkering down, no one is more ready to spread their wings in the sunshine, unencumbered by a pandemic, than North Texas breweries. There s a bevy of fun events going down at our frothy brewers abodes: game nights, live music and some hip and hops.
Peticolas The Peticolas Running Club s Mother’s Day Velvet Hammer 5K
A 3-mile trot never hurt this good. Let mom watch you sweat it out while she imbibes in her cocktail of choice. And what’s even better, the start time is loosey-goosey, which actually should be a new trend. (They can track runners, so why do we all have to start at the same time? Peticolas has always been a game-changer like that.) The $30 ticket to partake includes a CASA MASA breakfast to go, three beers and a social run “glass can.” Feels oxymoronic, but it’s Peticolas, so just let it happen.
D.G. Yuengling & Son is America s oldest craft brewery, having first poured frothy pints back in 1829 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Since that time they have remained a family business, passed down through generations, always father to son, until the fifth generation of all daughters who are now at the helm. Despite being the largest craft brewery by volume of sales in the United States, this brand has never been sold in Texas.
But that will all soon change. Last year the brewery formed The Yuengling Co., a joint venture with Molson Coors, and sometime this year will be brewed at the latter s Fort Worth facility and distributed throughout the state.
