Peticolas Brewing Company

Currently only open 1^st and third Saturday’s 1pm-​3pm for tours and taproom. Most breweries in the area offer more open house hours for their customers.
Tours are not really tours, just a quick overview of the operation, «tour» started at 2. *If you want a «real» brewery tour try Franconia brewery, the only one I have found to give an actual tour.
$ 10 for 3 beers, pretty standard in DFW
Games– out of the nearly a dozen breweries I have been to in dfw this one has the most seating and more game tables than any other, but no Live music.
By far this is the coolest brewery we have been to in Dallas, its cozy in layout and themed with soccer paraphernalia, very different from the competition.
However, the official site it clear on why they do not open more often, pointing to limited texas tabc laws not allowing them to sell directly to consumers and also «not wanting to work every weekend»… soooo this might make you wonder what exactly are they doing to accommodate their fans and their customers? ?? Especially since many breweries are now doing weekday tours.
Good beer, but everybody has different opinions, not my favorite beer in Dallas

OMG! I cannot say enough great things about Peticolas, perhaps it’s because 3 beers later, I’m always having fun! I like the laid back set-​up of Peticolas. For $ 10, you basically buy admission into a fun Saturday Funday party! You get a souvenir glass and 3 drink tokens. You are allowed to freely roam the premises and in one of the sections there was a staff member who gave us a brief history on Peticolas. Other than that, you kind of roam and just hang out with your friends. There is this cool area with ping pong tables and games, which is where we hung out until last call. It’s one of the more fun brewery tours I’ve been on in the area and I highly recommend!

$ 10 cash or credit card to get a souvenir glass and 3 tokens for drinks! We arrived 15 minutes after they opened, which isn’t a big deal at all since there wasn’t much of a line and they don’t have an official tour (although we did catch one of the staff members giving about a 10 minute presentation of the place, which was cool).
I just realized that their website gives a really good breakdown of their various beers, if you’d like to check that out before going. I got to try the Golden Opportunity and It’s Always Something (which is their four year anniversary brew). Both were good, but I prefer the Belgian Ale. The husband usually gets the Velvet Hammer at bars when we go out. He tried the Royal Scandal and Wintervention for the first time and liked both!
My favorite part of this visit was how much space there was to sit or explore, including ping pong tables and I heard there’s other games.

Yeah when you can catch them open they have amazing brew. Amazing staff you can tell they really love there job and who wouldn’t. I love the idea that they do not can or bottle you can only get them at special events or local bars. So it was a real treat to finally get to try everything. I was a big fan of the sit down full flavor and a 9% abv. We got to go on a day were they had they Sit Down infused with ghost peppers I think either way it was great not too spicy at all. I really enjoyed this brewery definitely be coming back.

peticolas can do no wrong. some broad married velvet hammer if that tells you anything.

I can’t believe I hadn’t been to Peticolas. It’s been around fro long enough. I’ve been to places before they were even really open, but managed to completely miss out on Peticolas.
Back away from the highway in the Design District. Interesting building. It’s like a huge maze that all leads to somewhere unexpected. I love and hate it. There’s stairways that lead to no where. I’m sure they lead somewhere, but you know. Rooms that parallel each other with narrow halls in between. It’s crazy. Like a Six Flags haunted house, but the attractions are beer, ping pong, and couches.
It’s a neat atmosphere, though cramped.
Since it was one of DFW’s first handful of new breweries, it’s running the familiar pay-​for-​the-​tour with tokens for drinks affair. No new tap room thing, but sometimes the old tour style tastings are nice.
Clearly, the beer is good. The owner is visible, but probably not up for conversation. The times I saw him, he was slinging drinks at a pretty good clip. He’s there to work. Always nice to see an owner down in there getting dirty.
I’ll be back when the weather is inhospitable and the crowds die back a little. Until then, I’ll have a Royal Scandal wherever I see it.

Came here yesterday, the place is only open every 1^st and 3^rd Saturday of the month. We got there just before 1pm and there was a huge line going all the way done the side of the building. But thankfully the line moved pretty quick once the place opened. Usual deal, $ 10 gets you a glass and 3 pints. I thought the line for beers would be huge with the amount of people outside, but they have 3 different bars so I wasn’t bad to get your first beer. They have a pizza truck outside, no live music, lots of seating as well as ping pong, air hockey etc… Upstairs. They mainly had IPAs and ales. Their Great Scot was my favourite and I don’t drink dark beers.

Hands down this is my favorite brewery in Dallas to date. This brewery is small, but quite good quality, and supported by a great crew. This industrial brewery is the beachhead in the Design District which has inspired other local breweries to join the Dallas craft beer scene. The owner is a soccer nut, but in a good way, he supports local teams and sells soccer type jerseys and scarves with the brewery name. I hope to meet him some time. Jarrod was our great host of the brewery and he gave us a great private tour of the working brewery — if you see him, tell him hello, and he will surely give you some advice on other places to visit in the Dallas area.
The brewery isn’t open too often, so check social media or call their number to ensure they are open or will let you in for a taste for out of towners.
The beer lineup (your mileage may vary):
* Golden Opportunity — Kolsch — easy drinking, think summer or after/​during work drink, and smooth finish
* Royal Scandal — English Pale Ale — GABF award winner and definitely worth it as the quality is in the mouth feel and goes down easy
* Operational Collaboration — OMG… excellent brew that they brewed with Green Flash Brewing master brewer Silva, and this made an excellent hoppy happiness.
* Thrilla in Brazilla — a special brew they made for the World Cup. Great tasting easy drinking IPA. Not sure how much they have left of this, but I do hope to get another glass in a couple of weeks when I visit again.
* Great Scot! — smooth easy drinking Scottish ale
* Velvet Hammer — Imperial Red — a very nice red, but watch the high 9% ABV
* Sit Down or I’ll sit you down — Imperial IPA — love the name, and wow… this one is too dangerous as it is so easy to drink without the bite at this 10% beer
I am hoping this brewery builds to eventually bottle or can so we can enjoy some outside of the Dallas area, but meanwhile, I will definitely look for them whenever I visit Texas in my upcoming work travels.

As far as breweries are concerned — this is one of my favorites. They are only open to the public for tastings the first and third Saturday of the month from 1 – 3 pm, so mark your calendar! For $ 10 you get a pint glass and three beers of your choice. They always have a great selection and a couple of beers which are harder to find and not in every bar in Dallas. Not only is $ 10 a great deal but their beers are all very delicious. The last time I went I tried the Thrilla in Brazilla which is an IPA. I don’t typically like IPA’s however this one was so good! It wasn’t over powerful and didn’t have too much hops. It was smooth and tasteful. The Velvet Hammer is a great classic and their Royal Scandal is an English pale ale done right.
If you love great beer and a good time than you should definitely stop by for their next tasting. They have an outdoor area with a food truck and games inside. They have ping pong, shuffle board, and have couches and places to sit and chat.

I went in already loving their beer but to get it off tap… mmm…and then to top it off with a beer infused donut… ugh freaking good!!! $ 10 to get in for a glass and 3 beers! Must go!

Peticolas probably is our very favorite brewery in Dallas. My husband and I have pretty different taste in beer, I am more on the IPA side and him on the strong ales. But we pretty universally love almost every beer that Peticolas puts out. Sit Down or I’ll Sit you down is the most balanced IPA I have ever had and it definitely is not overwhelmed but the 10% alcohol, although it cane be dangerous. My husband loves A Lost Epic, even more after learning the origin of the name. Their aged beers are also great.
We finally went for a Saturday tour. The brewery definitely is one of the cooler ones I have seen and we have been to dozens throughout the country. The vibe is so laid back and there cool different rooms and areas to hang out. Love the fact that they have different games to play, lines for beer move fast and parking was easy. $ 10 for a glass and 3 of their quality beers is such a great deal If I didn’t actually have to get things done on weekends, I would probably be there every Saturday they are open. I definitely recommend checking it out for their tour days, but look for the beers in local bars, can’t go wrong with any of their beers.

I love, love, love Peticolas.
Their tours are only twice a month, so you have to check their calendar to make sure they are open before you head that way.
The cost is $ 10 and you get a pretty nice looking glass that they will fill 3 times with the brew of your choice.
Their selection of beer is always great, they usually keep 3 of their regular brews that they have all year, like Golden Opportunity, Velvet Hammer and Sit down or I sit you down, but they also usually have a couple of seasonal/​limited edition ones.
I like their brewery because it has a pretty decent amount of seating and it’s indoors!!! Alleluia!
Also, their volunteers are always super friendly and they have a loft full of fuzzball and air hockey tables, it’s pretty neat.

The idea of a beer tour that felt more like $ 10 cover and three drinks. I admit, this place could have been better and probably most of the places around Dallas are the same, but this was an underwhelming tour. There is no actual tour, but feel free to strike a conversation with a few of the staff who are also gushing down a few drinks. As a recommendation, the tour could host a flight taster of several of its brews and probably have a person describe each of its beers, as to why its unique to Peticola’s, etc.
The beer was tasty and hopalicious (please don’t kill me patent lawyers), but a hoppier beer doesn’t always mean a better beer. Overall, average beer and pretty noisy with a food truck «conveniently» located outside.
Maybe I am just spoiled because I live close to Wisconsin and Three Floyd’s. However, I would recommend this place as it serves its guest with only its finest on tap.
tl;dr — No tour, bring friends, daytime binge.

Definitely a cool little setup. They open the first and third Saturdays. For $ 10 a person, you get a souvenir glass and 3 tokens that is redeemable for a tall glass of beer.
I was a bit turned off when we first arrived because there was a long line, but calmed down when we realized it is a breeze to get through. There are various rooms with chairs, tables, pool tables, games, etc. It’s all very relaxed and very welcoming. You meet lots of great, laid-​back people.
The owner was running around, and answered LOTS and LOTS of questions from us beer geeks. He was very friendly and informative. He seems very genuine and real.
Definitely a fan of their beers.
Especially Wintervention.
**Fair warning: bathroom lines are kinda crazy!

Don’t be a fool like me and double check your calendar before going here! Last weekend, I thought (for some reason) that it was the first saturday of the month so I drove there only to be disappointed. For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, Peticolas is only open on the first and third saturday of the month. I know it’s pretty ridiculous, but it doesn’t matter, because I love their beers and the brewery itself.
$ 10 for three chips and a free glass (!!!) and 3 chips is pretty dangerous considering most of their beers is 10%.
So I go there at 1:15 pm (15 min after they opened) and boy was this place packed! It just goes to show you how popular and awesome this brewery is.
For those beer lovers and new Texans like me, there is a dumb Texas law that doesn’t let you fill your growler at breweries (*tears*)…there are designated growler filling places. (WHYYYYYYY!!) I come from Virginia and thought that Virginia was conservative with their alcohol laws…
AMBIENCE: 5
Come here early to find a seat! I love how busy this place is and how there are a few different areas for you to drink your beer. You can sit and drink. You can stand and drink. You can play games (e.g. shuffleboard, ping pong) and drink. Or you can stand outside, enjoy the blazing Texas heat and drink. I love how there are (free) games you can play, but expect a wait or it to be already taken if you are not the first few people there.
BEER: 5
I tried all the beers and they were either great or good — nothing was a «bad» option. Granted you can try most of their beers at local bars/​restaurants; however, the free glass and the environment is definitely worth the trip. Plus $ 10 for 3 pints is a freakin’ awesome deal.
[Sit Down or I’ll Sit You Down: 4]
The sit down or i’ll sit you down beer is an imperial stout that is not unbearably hoppy. There’s a slight sweetness to it that makes it a very smooth IPA. Definitely my favorite there!
[Golden Opportunity: 3.5]
A light and refreshing beer. Perfect for those hot days (which is like everyday here).
[Velvet Hammer: 4]
American Strong Ale that’s on the hoppier side so for those who don’t do bitter, don’t get this one. Personally, I love this beer.
[Royal Scandal: 3]
A drinkable english pale ale. Probably my least favorite there, but a casual and drinkable option!
[Great Scott: 3]
A scottish ale that’s good, but nothing great compared to the velvet hammer or the sit down.

Awesome brewery tucked away behind the hilton anatole. The $ 10 entry fee gets you a peticolas glass and three wooden nickels redeemable for beer.
The building itself is pretty cool. There’s a lot off different areas to sit and chill while you drink. Plenty of room to move around. They have a few different areas where they have taps so the lines for beer moved pretty quickly. The food truck wasn’t there today but they did have guys selling tacos inside one of the rooms.
The tour starts at 2. We didn’t actually do the tour because it was too loud in the area that the beer is made. Not from the equipment but rather from the people hanging out.
Overall great time to be had. They brewery is open the first and third saturdays of each month.

My absolute favorite beer! The tour was $ 10 and definitely worth it because you get a souvenir glass and 3 tokens for beers! Can’t beat that! You can find the dates of the tour on the website! I highly recommend trying the Velvet Hammer, it is one of my favs!

They only run tours on the 1^st and 3^rd Saturday of the month.
They run 1pm –3pm for 10 bucks.
Once you pay you get 3 tokens and a nice souvenir glass that you will use for your beer fills.
1 token = 1 beer fill.
There is a food truck for grub and live music too.
My favorite part about this brewery is there are plenty of places to sit! Couches, Chair, picnic tables, stools all over.
On the second floor there is air hockey, ping pong and other games to keep you entertained.
There is a good beer selection and something for everybody. I don’t get into beer reviews on the brewery tours because that is a whole write up itself.
Check out their website for list of brews and descriptions.
I am looking forward to my next visit.

$ 10 for a tall glass and 3 tokens for beer refills. What a deal! More than enough beer for me, i only tried the golden oppurtunity and gave away my other tokens. Even this blonde beer is pretty strong and has a lot of taste.
Industrial warehouse interior, the noise level is pretty high. There was a food truck parked outside serving wings, sliders, and some fried items which was perfect for eating with beer.
Another yummy microbrewery in dallas that is great for friends to spent an afternoon together.

not often do I like every of fhe ‘sample’ beers at the DFW brewerys. but the beers here are all awesome.
they had no music the day I went. but I did not miss it that much. I will be back for sure… and if I do not eat from the food truck. I will go to off side kitchen on irving blvd close by… burgers are sooo good.
