    Grateful for HOU – Celebrating Houston Beer Month

    August is for supporting local beer. Why? Because we said so. *wink. Plus, have you taken a look at the craft beer scene in our city lately? Ooof, it’s rough out there and this industry can use your support yet again. With new breweries closing (Black Page Brewing Co.), the lack of public excitement about

    A Day Off with Beer(s) by the Bay – A visit to Galveston Bay Brewing in Clear Lake Shores

    One golden rule of a craft beer hobbyist is to never let a day off go without brewery visit. Lucky for me, Galveston Bay Brewing announced on Facebook that Tuesday April 4th would be the first day of operation for their new location in Clear Lake Shores. Truthfully, I haven’t visited this brewery in years

    When a brewery closes in Houston, I usually have feelings of confusion, sadness and mourning – generally in that order. When a brewery less than 2 miles from my home decides to close, I can’t help to feel a whirlwind of all those emotions combined for the first time ever, I am taking it personal.

    If you know anything about this trio clan of brewery business owners, you know they are always up for fun and celebrating. Call it brewers luck (brewers skill if you ask me!) – it’s not every year that your friends would also win a World Beer Cup in the same competing year. If you don’t

    I can’t think of a better community involved in the craft beer industry than the pillar that holds it all together – the homebrew community. After a few heartbreaking closures of local homebrew shops in the South Houston area including B&S Brewers Guild, DeFalco’s Clear Lake, and more recently Hoppin’ Grape Homebrew Supply, you start

    Tell me I am not the only one that think Oktoberfest is the best beer drinking season of them all? The weather starts cooling down, the german biers are busy fermenting and the bratwurst are piping hot. And yes, let’s not forget about the pretzels. Nothing soaks up that beer buzz better than a salted

    The first Thursday of August is always National IPA Day, another made up beer holiday that we all love to celebrate. This year I have continued to enjoy this style on a regular basis, spreading the love along side more hop balanced lagers. Whether you are a fan of this hop forward style or not,

    Of course it is, you silly goose! Yeah….we just made it up. So what? Isn’t that how all great ideas are started anyways? In deemed craft beer cities across the nation, it’s common to see a week-long schedule of events and things to do around town.  These beer weeks are catered breweries hosting taproom events,

    Did you know that Saint Arnold Brewing Company original Summer Pils recipe debuted June 1997 as their first lager recipe? Groovy. It’s original name was Summerfest but according to Saint Arnold’s website, they got hung up with legal challenges against Sierra Nevada over the name. Ultimately, the breweries worked out a deal involving covering the

    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
