October may mean cooler temperatures and costume shopping to some. But for those of us who can’t take our minds off that six-pack chilling in the fridge it means something else — the countdown to North Texas Beer Week is officially on!
North Texas Beer Week is billed as 10-day local celebration of all things craft beer. More than 160 events — from beer dinners to brewer meet-and-greets to free tastings and art showcases — will take place in 20 cities across the metroplex from October 31 to November 9.
This year, The Dallas Morning News is co-presenter of North Texas Beer Week, along with “The Ticket.” One of the week’s signature events will be Untapped craft beer and indie music festival on November 1 at the South Side Events Center in Dallas. DMN subsidiary CrowdSource purchased the festival earlier this year.
In its third year, Untapped pairs more than 80 local, national and international breweries with tunes from Cake, Deltron 3030, Cayucus, the Polyphonic Spree, Shovels & Rope and more.
To get you excited about the event, we thought we’d test your craft beer and indie band know-how. In the quiz below, guess if the name listed is a beer or a band name. (Note: Not all beers or bands will actually be at the festival.) We all know this will be much more fun if you don’t cheat, so go ahead close Google.
