Nothing in Richardson!

However definitely check out the Gingerman @ McKinney & Boll. Don't
bother going there on a Friday or Saturday night though - too many
bellowing yuppies swilling Coors Lite. Stick to the weekday or Sat/Sun
afternoons. The Old Monk is awesome for Belgian beers.

If you venture downtown to a little known area near fair park called
Exposition park you will find a couple of funky jewels: New Amsterdam
Coffee House - pretty good tap selection and really good bottle
selelction. The owner recently became a beer judge and he's way into
beer. You will find no Bud or Miller on premises. Also the Meridian
room has got great food and atmosphere and a decent beer selection -
sticks mostly to main stream Belgians like Leffe though, but still not
bad.
