Noble Rey at Farmers Market - Dallas

On the edge of the Deep Ellum district in Downtown Dallas is the Farmers Market, which is a very impressive selection of artisanal food, drink and craft stalls, in a deliciously airconditioned old warehouse building.

Among the stalls is an outpost of Nobel Rey Brewing (I will be visiting the main taproom on the other side of Town today).

Although limited by space, they still had a good mix of 12 draft beers, and I sat at the bar chatting to the barman for pleasant hour, whilst drinking two excellent Pales.

One nice feature of this bar is that they give you option of a plastic glass, which you can then take with you as you wander around the interesting food and craft stalls.

Whilst not perhaps worth a trip in its own right, the bar represented a welcome place to cool off and get refreshed on a blistering hot July Saturday afternoon.
