Things To Do in Dallas Tonight: April 25

Jeez, it is pitch black outside. I suppose this is more good news for my poor potted plants, as I forgot to water them for about a week and a half. After a peek this morning, I think they’re rebounding from the trauma just fine.

Speaking of rebounding from trauma, I’m fairly certain that if you don’t taste something called BrewDog Tactical Nuclear Penguin at least once in your life, you’ll regret it. No, it’s not killer power plant runoff. Until just recently, it was the strongest beer in the world. We’re talking 32% percent alcohol by volume, people, so it’s technically liquor. The Flying Saucer on the Lake has been hoarding six bottles of it for a little while, waiting for the perfect time to unleash this stuff on the brew-loving public. According to Rebecca at the Saucer, it’s national penguin day (I checked Google to confirm, and actually, it’s world penguin day) and that’s as good an excuse as any.

The lake location is also the only one licensed to serve anything stronger than your average beer, so the bar will pour the BrewDog in shots — two ounce portions for $30 — starting at 5 pm. Rebecca says to get there early, however, because once their six bottles are gone, good luck finding the brew anywhere else. I’d also be inclined to grab dinner while I’m at it. Brat-on-a-bun with a side of Penguin, anyone?

Lame jokes aside, there’s more things to do tonight should you feel like braving the elements. Click here. And don’t forget that the Best of Big D shopping survey went live this morning, so start voting early and often.
