Funnel Cake Ale
Saying “goodbye” to Big Tex is always a bummer. Who decided three weeks was long enough for the State Fair of Texas anyway?
Hopefully this next bit news will cure your fried food blues — you can still find Funnel Cake Ale in Dallas for a limited time.
The beer, an English-style summer ale, made history this fall as the first beverage to be nominated as a finalist for the Big Tex Choice Awards. It won “Most Creative.”
Community Beer Co. in Dallas worked with concessionaire Justin Martinez to brew it specifically for the State Fair. But, according to Community founder Kevin Carr, there are a few barrels left on reserve.
Community Beer Co. will be serving Funnel Cake Ale on draft in its taproom while supplies last. And since there are only four kegs remaining, that might not be for very long, Carr says.
Community’s taproom is open Thursday from 5-9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 5-10 p.m. Pints run $5-6.
Full disclosure: Kevin Carr, founder of Community Beer Co., is one of DMN’s Craft Beer Insiders.
