James Weiss
James is a rather ordinary guy. He rides a desk by day and a sofa by night. He's married to an amazingly patient woman, and has two fantastic daughters, the world's okayest dog, a cat he tolerates, two Guinea pigs he has minimal interaction with, and two rats he did not approve of getting. He and the rats are the only men in the house. You can find him @jweiss99 on Insta and Untappd.

Nevertheless, as we approach that most sacred of day drinking holidays and I work out which of my…
What to Expect When You’re Expecting Not to Drink
What better way to start off a new gig than by not doing the thing you were hired to do? Well, here we are, with my first submission for Houston Beer Guide being of some non-beers as I’m in the midst of my decision to take part in Dry January. Which I have to admit is very necessary; my liver and I aren’t currently on…
Contributor Introduction: James Weiss
My love of beer began (aside to my parents...EARMUFFS) before the law officially told me it could. I was then introduced to what were at the time known as micro brews by a friend my freshman year of college at a bar with a liberal ID policy, and my liver and wallet still haven’t forgiven him to this day. That was many…
