The World Cup has already delivered unforgettable moments, and Dallas Morning News’ Eric Prisbell covered one of ours – Michael Peticolas’ 36-hour bus journey from Dallas to Monterrey, Mexico, alongside Japan’s passionate Ultras supporters as they traveled to Monterrey to support Japan at its World Cup match against Tunisia.
What began as a chance encounter became a remarkable cross-cultural adventure filled with soccer, camaraderie, and the kind of memories that only the world’s biggest sporting event can create. A truly unique look at forming global connections as fans from around the world converge on North Texas and Mexico for the tournament.

The Dallas Morning News story is just one of several recent media features highlighting Peticolas and our role in the growing World Cup excitement across North Texas.
The Dallas Observer’s Aaren Prody recently included Peticolas in its World Cup Bar Guide, highlighting our brewery as a gathering place for fans from around the globe. Dallas Business Journal’s Alexa Reed also recognized Peticolas as one of the premier venues for World Cup Watch Parties throughout the tournament.
World Soccer coverage continued with The Dallas Express, which previewed What’s Coming to North Texas during the tournament, and Fort Worth Weekly’s Elaine Wilder and Rush Olson featured both our World Cup celebrations in Peticolas for the Win and our part in the City of (World) Cups and Culture.
Beyond the tournament, D Magazine’s Tim Rogers highlighted the release of My Peticolas Beer and later included our World Cup-themed brews in its regional taste test of beers inspired by the world’s biggest sporting event.
It’s been a whirlwind already, and we’re still at the beginning of this World Cup journey. With fans pouring into North Texas from every corner of the globe and plenty of matches still to be played, something tells us the next chapter may be even more memorable than the first.
If our words don’t help capture the experience, this should help.
