In the upmarket neighbourhood of Lakewood Hills in East Dallas are two outstanding nano breweries with attached taprooms. They are very different in feel, but each are superb in their own right!The first location on my agenda was the White Rock Alehouse. This purpose built facility opened in late 2017 on a grand scale. It has seating indoors for about 120 people, mainly at restaurant style tables, although the large central island bar will seat at least 20 people alone. Outside there are two separate patio areas which seat an additional 100 or so.
The bar has 36 taps, and a highly impressive video wall displaying the beer details, as well as cycling through promotions etc. There were 6 White Rock beers on offer, complemented by a good selection of other breweries, both local and from further afield in the USA. Every beer was individually priced for 4oz, 8oz, 12oz and 16oz measures, and happy hour was in effect, providing a $1 discount on all pints. Note to all taprooms.....this is how to charge for your beers!!!!!
There is a full-service food menu, with a good combination of basic drinking snacks, as well as more upscale dining options.
This is probably the most upmarket taproom I have ever visited, and must have cost a small-fortune to build.
Nonetheless, it still has a welcoming feeling to it, and I spent a pleasant couple of hours, working my way through the menu, two tasters at a time.
