A Brewtiful Afternoon Elite Event

An amazing event and my first Unilocal elite event! It was great to try the beer, socialize with other elites, and see the cool outdoor space at Deep Ellum Brewing Company. This place is perfect for corporate social events. It would be awesome if they could add a roof-​top patio too to take advantage of the views of the Dallas skyline.
Thanks to Frances for coordinating the event and to DEB for hosting and allowing dogs! As Erin B. suggested, keep the weekend events coming!

Fantastic event! Great tour, great beer, and a lovely, sunny afternoon to chill in the beer garden! Great to catch up with other Unilocal friends! Also loved that I got a party favor — a my new pint glass!
Keep the weekend events coming so those of us who cant make early evening events during the week days can keep enjoying the Elite perks!

Unilocal has done it again! (More like Frances has done it again)
It was a great afternoon getting to hang out and meet other Unilocalers AND drink beer at a pretty cool backyard /​outdoor area to chill. We pretty much got all the beer we wanted from Deep Ellum Brewery and a little talk about how the beer was made.
Can’t wait til the next elite event!

What a great event! I mean, what more could you ask for — gorgeous weather, fabulous brews, and some fantastic tunes… need I saw more?
I’m glad I had the opportunity to attend such a great event, otherwise I may have never known how great this place (I don’t venture into Deep Ellum too often). I really enjoyed the new «beer garden» which would be the perfect place to hold a party or small get-​together. I thought the beers were great and to be honest, I’m not a huge fan of beer in general so that means a lot. I was particularly impressed with the Stout which had deep undertones of coffee and chocolate. So good!
Thanks so much to Frances (and of course Deep Ellum Brewing Company) for putting on such a great event. I know my husband and I will certainly be on the lookout for those Deep Ellum brews when we’re out and about!

Horay for Unilocaler, Francis and Beer!
This was a great event, we got there just in time to grab a beer and listen to the brewery «tour.» Talked with some Unilocalers, listened to some music and drank some good local brews. Francis did it again with another great event in a very cool setting!

I was yet again a +1 with my friends Jodi and Chip C.
I too must agree with my Friend Chip C, If anyone can pull off an event it would be Frances!!!
Me? I am a beer fan and yes I will try just about anything put into beer form included the black cherry beer that Deep did not have for sample but I’m very excited about the adventure.
I was totally not feeling the beer drinking in the middle of a Saturday however the arrival of the new «garden» peeked my interest. There was a sample of 3 flavors, Blonde, Pale Ale, and a brew that had a coffee resimbelance which was quite a trip =)
Hoping the folks at Deep Brew add some relaxing benches or chairs, it could prove to be the «hidden hot spot» for Dallas new comers or Old comers for that matter.
I honestly think given the right amount of attention it could be a great wedding spot =)
Way to Go Frances!!! Thank you my Elite buddies!

Another successful event!!! Good idea to have it outside on a hot day so people would drink more! lol Bartenders must have made tons! I didnt drink any beer because I’m that girl that can’t take in beer. I came for the pooch and mingling. I learned a lot about the company. Didn’t even know they were there till this event.

This was my first Unilocal Elite event and it was fantastic! Google maps misguided us, so we ended up parking farther away than expected, but it was really nice bumbling around Deep Ellum before arriving at Deep Ellum Brewing Company (sweat-​soaked and all).
The atmosphere was great — very casual and laid back, oh… and lots of cute dogs! I enjoyed listening to Cameron Ernst, but I felt like he was on an island by himself since there wasn’t much coverage from the sun closer to the stage. Despite the heat, he did a great job!
Oh and the beer — I enjoyed all three, but if I had to choose one, I preferred the IPA and the stout the best. Now I will feel confident when ordering these beers at other restaurants that offer Deep Ellum Brewing Co. beer. I missed the tour — I was told there weren’t actual tours by one of the ladies serving the beer, but reading the reviews I guess there was an official one! Nonetheless it was really awesome to have a look at the brewery and see where all the magic happens.
I enjoyed the yummy snacks while sipping on beer in addition to the cute «Fuji» that Frances took of us. Great job, Frances! I’m looking forward to the next event :)

What a fantastic event! I got the chance to bring a new Unilocaler, Erin D. (Go find her and friend her, y’all!), and we had a blast! I adored the new beer garden, and I am so appreciative to the Deep Ellum Brewing Company for hosting a great event, and to Zack for selling me the fab tank top (which I am wearing as I write this!)
The beer, of course, was an absolute treat. Backslider Blonde never disappoints! A big thank you to Frances, to Unilocal,and to the DEBC for a fun time!

I must admit to some early trepidation. I mean an event where the focus is beer? I am not much of a beer fan, but figured if anyone could make it fun it was Frances.
Actually, Frances could, and did, make it fun. The rest of the above statement is pure poppycock. I love beer, all things local, and hanging out with my fellow Unilocalers. I was really excited to get to Deep Ellum and see what was what.
The day did not disappoint. The beers and fellowship were fantastic– and the beer garden is a sweet spot and will, no doubt, be an «in» spot in no time. The music was a very nice soundtrack for the event. Frances and her handy camera also made a great splash. I would like to review the munchies but was so mesmerized by the company and the beer i didn’t really head over to graze. It did look very tasty-​from afar.
Frances, as always you threw a great party and I can’t wait to see what April holds!

I love Deep Ellum, beer and Unilocalers. So this was a great event! The beer garden space was really awesome. I didn’t get to hear the tour guide either, but it was still fun to look around the brewery and sample some beers.
So great to see everyone! Thanks Frances for another great event!

Awesome Event, Frances! Had a great time chillin’ with my Unilocaler friends and catching up! It’s been too long! This was a super relaxed event nice way to ease back into the Elite life! ;) The servers were all very knowledgeable about the brewing and fermenting process. I discovered I’m much more of a lager girl than an ale woman. Thanks to the Deep Ellum Brewing Company for hosting and the beer garden looks to be a great place to hang out. I enjoyed the guac and chips to go with the crisp, cool beers. And, It’s always great to listen to live music on a sunny Texas afternoon. Next time you all have a dog friendly event; I’m definitely bringing Pecas, my pointer!

As usual, the lovely Frances put on an amazing event. What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than drinking locally-​brewed beer in a brand spanking new beer garden catching up with the elitest of the Unilocalers? The beer was tasty, company was fabulous, and Mr. Cameron Ernst’s music was the perfect soundtrack. It was so nice bumping in to Unilocalers I hadn’t seen in a while and enjoying the day. I felt privileged to be one of the first drinkers in the 24 hours the beer garden had been open. Super fun and can’t wait to to do it again.

Great event! What more could you want!
A sampling of beers from Deep ellum brewery and some snacks to munch on on a beautiful warm texas day.

This was an awesome event! I love events in Deep Ellum, I love patios, and I do love beer. (:
This was such a low key event, with some patio drinking, a beer tour with lots of good info and some free samples. The live music was relaxing and not too much and it was was easy to hold conversations with other. I also love my polaroid, cute idea to remember the event!

An awesome event for trying Deep Ellum Brewing Cos. finest creations.
I’ve never been inside a brewery before and I must say it was a pretty cool experience. Unfortunately, I could not hear a thing the tour guide told us, even though I was right in the front row. :/​
Sheepishly, I’d say the blonde was my favorite. I’m usually a big fan of IPAs, but the blonde definitely did it for me that day.
As always, you could see the hardwork Frances G. put into this great event, and I would like to say thank you thank you thank you miss.
If you aren’t an elite member yet, and wonder why you would want to… events like these are why.
It was a perfect way to spend a beautiful afternoon with friends, old and new!
viva la revolucion!!!

Summer came early to Deep Ellum Brewery at this Elite bash! The hot weather couldn’t slow down a good time for Unilocalers at Deep Ellum Brewery. We sampled the full line of craft brews on draft that’s made right here at this tucked away spot on St Louis Street in Deep Ellum. The brewery is very small but it made a nice setting for the event. As far as the brews, my favorite were a tie between the Blonde and the Double Stout with its choclately-​coffee undertones.
The crowd was lively and every enjoyed the expansive patio space although the shade was sparse for this particular day. The live music was a nice touch and I couldn’t stop eating the cookies out on spread. Another fantastic presented by Frances, of course!

The warm weather gave us a taste of what summer will be like. And Deep Ellum Brewing Co is probably what I’ll be drinking this summer.
I have been seeing Deep Ellum beers at many places around town: Union Bear, Cane Rosso, The Foundry… So this was an excellent opportunity to try several of the variations. The IPA and Blonde were my favorites. The Pilsner was very popular with others, but wasn’t my top pick.
The beer garden is really nice. It’s bigger than I expected, and with a stage, has the potential to be a great venue for various events.
Two thumbs up, Frances!

Frances, as always, put on a great event. Not only was it nice to see known Unilocalers (good to see you Megan and Flor), but also met some new Yeeps such as Andrew and Cliff and a few others. Taking the fluffs seemed to be a good icebreaker as everyone was super nice to Bella and Marty. Brews were cold and plentiful (Thanks Deep Ellum Brewing Company!) and Cameron Ernst did a terrific job providing entertainment despite being without shade. I think it was a good idea not to offer more food as the focus of this event was really the beer. The beer garden is sure to be a hit but here’s hoping they add some more seating and some umbrellas to protect from the viscious TX rays! Oh yes, I did see Chip but neglected to say hello before the tour when we left. If you haven’t taken the time, please reach out to him and make a donation to the St. Baldrick event he participated in — Karl and I did!

Absolute wonderful event! Love the brewery, will be back with non Unilocalers to enjoy the suds and patio area. I also enjoyed meeting the fluffs! Cute!
Thanks for a wonderful event!
