Yeehaw! With the Houston rodeo starting real soon, it’s hard not to thinking about the season of cold weather cooking. Gumbos, stews and my personal Texas favorite, CHILI! It’s Texas after all and chili cookoffs are quite common in the month of January & February at a few local breweries. If you think you got

Of all the bars and craft pubs in Houston, a select few stick out to me as “true craft beer centric pub eateries” in this city. To name a few, I’m talking about Petrol Station (RIP), Nobi Public House, Hughie’s, MoonTower Inn, Thistle Draftshop, Hop Stop (RIP), The Regal Beagle, Saucer, Cobble & Spoke, Hay

#HoustonBeerMonth Guest Submission from Cole Wehner Houston’s breweries are as widespread as it’s never-ending freeway system but there are a few spots in town where you can easily do a traditional “bar-hop” between breweries!

HOUSTON! YOU ARE INVITED! Aug 28th starting at 4pm I can’t think of a better place to host an event focused on celebrating Houston beer than Star Sailor HTX. This small beer boutique in the Heights embodies the community and vibes that I think best represents the craft beer scene in Houston. More on that

The first Thursday of August is always National IPA Day, another made up beer holiday that we all love to celebrate. Whether you are a fan of this hop forward style or not, india pale ales still remain the most dominant and enjoyed style in the craft beer world. Nearly all breweries in the Houston

We are kicking off Houston Beer Month with one of our favorite beers, Brewster Cogburn, a vanilla imperial cream ale from our friends at Saloon Door Brewing in Webster TX. If you couldn’t tell before, Saloon Door has a thing for American Westerns and this beer reminds us of a tale in true western attitude
