Meddlesome Moth, the craft beer gastropub in Dallas' Design District, is reportedly closing in the spring. A spokesperson did not respond to queries, but employees were told that that the longtime beer haunt would not be renewing its lease due to an increase in rent. The Moth was Dallas' original gastropub, a pioneer not only in the craft beer world but also a pioneer in the Design District when it opened there in 2010

How many God damn different IPA recipes can there possibly be?

Gimme a pilsner over that hoppy bullshit any day.

I sometimes ask myself the same question. There are a ton of them on the shelves at HEB and seem to be over-represented. OTH, someone must like them for there to be so many. I haven't rendered a judgement overall, but I've only tried three IPA's to date:  Shiner Wicked Ram IPA, Saint Arnold Art Car and the recently posted Sierra Nevada Fresh Hops IPA. Of those three, I liked the Shiner Wicked Ram IPA. Alas, it appears to be discontinued -- go figure.

Not enough of a sample size for me to declare definitively one way or the other, but I'm a bit hesitant to buy them having disliked 2 of 3 so far, when there are so many other promising prospects. Having said that, while I like pilsners, Ive tried more that I didn't like, than those that I do. Shiner Premium Beer is one of those I do like.

I don’t drink the hoppy stuff, but appreciate the cash flow they provide for stuff I do like. 
 

Sometimes I do get frustrated on the road and joint has 4 big brand lagers, ultra, 2-3 Mexican lagers and 2 IPAs. 
 

You’re telling me there are no customers who would drink a bock or hell, even a dos amber or Negra Modelo?

The tap selections are goofy, and then they get a slow mover on there so it doesn’t change out.

These came in a multipack.  Tommy Norris was right about Ultra, but this shit seems even lighter.  I will never understand why people buy( a lot) this shit like 30 at a time.  Why bother...and it tastes terrible relative to other readily available beer.

Looks like they're selling the whole business, as the owner is simply retiring after 38 years.  I'm guessing that someone will buy it and not change a thing.

That's obviously the hope amongst the regulars, of which I'm one. It would take a very benevolent buyer with deep pockets to keep it as is. With that asking price the whole math changes for a new owner and gone are $6 pints of Blind Pig. The T has already been struggling the last few years with declining interest in craft beer and no license for liquor. I can't remember the last time I saw the bar reasonably full other than a few special events. 

It's more likely that a developer will buy it for the 2 lots and build a 3 story property on the site. Currenty it's a single story building that's seen better days.

How many Houston people we have on this thread? I haven’t gone to a bottle share with strangers in ages. Maybe we need to have one at Great Heights.

Go on.

No, it's a real place. It was a pizza spot near Fair Park that sold Small Brewpub beers. Small Brewpub closed during Covid but I guess brought back their beers for this place. The Black Pepper Pils was pretty good. Terrible spot though in an area people just aren't going to go to. It's turning into a Mexican restaurant/bar. 

I'm not sure what brewery closing newsletter Greenspoint subscribes to.
