Been putting off a trip to Texas because of the summer heat? Fall is one of the best times to visit the state - cooler temps, a slew of fall restaurant openings and trendy events, and two awesome beer events coinciding on the same week: Dallas Beer Week and Houston Beer Week.

The American Craft Beer Rumor Mill has been churning, and as Bad Religion once said: "Remember the first word in USA is us." On to the beer!

For many craft beer fanatics and Dead Heads alike, it may come as no surprise that the proudly off-kilter Dogfish Head Brewery and the equally eclectic Grateful Dead are teaming up to create an aptly named "American Beauty" of beers. After all, the brewery has ventured into the music world before.
