Over 10 years ago, when my now wife and I were planning our wedding, one of the places we looked for the venue was the old Houston Ice and Brewing Building, also known as Magnolia Brewing. We ended up going with other options, but the Magnolia Brewing Company has always stuck in my head as

Last weekend I had the fortunate time of visiting Equal Parts Brewing, located a stone’s throw from Ninfa’s on Navigation. The beer that drew me to them was a new release that they brewed in collaboration with Country Malt Group. Neo-noir is a Munich Style Dunkle brewed with a new chocolate malt from Bestmalz in

With their official grand opening February 28th last year, Local Group Brewing has had a difficult first year in business. I fortunately got to check them out then and was looking forward to trying more of their beers and food. Then the pandemic and ensuing shut down went into effect, and ended all plans. I

If you didn’t read my last article, shame on you, but also, you didn’t hear the news that Whole Foods Market was going to begin canning. The first run of DL Double was canned yesterday, March 1st, and I picked up a 4-pack this morning so I could bring you the review ASAP. The beer
