Beer Review: Kingsbrau from Back Pew Brewing

| Aug 23, 2021

#HoustonBeerMonth Guest Submission from Ronnie Risner

Fest season is upon us!

I have the fortune of Backpew Brewing being one of the closest breweries to me, and recently they released a fan favorite. Kingsbrau is a festbier that really gets its chance to shine as those summer days leave you yearning for cooler temperatures. Kingsbrau is light enough to quench that summer thirst all day long yet holds well in October’s cooler days and is a perfect beer to camp with!

Kingsbrau lends a floral nose that is immediately noticed along with light citrus notes, the color is deep and golden almost a rich yellow. The first sip yields a malty taste that is balanced and surprisingly light. The crispness of the beer leaves a nice mouth watering feel with a light hop bite at the backend which leaves you ready for another sip immediately. After the first pint Kingsbrau is not weighing you down, and could easily be consumed several more times without feeling bloated.

Kingsbrau is easy to find thanks to Backpew’s handy tool on their website that allows you to input your zip code to see where the festbier is available near you.

Cheers!

Pumpkin Beer Season is Still Upon Us, Houston

Greg Shawinsky

Yes, Halloween has come and gone, but in Houston, I think the best time for pumpkin beer is late fall through the end of the year. I’ll drink a pumpkin beer during any season, but it’s not as easy to thoroughly enjoy this style in September and October when the outdoor temperature often still hits

Feel that cool breeze? Yep, it’s officially patio season in Houston, and I’ve got a new spot that’s worth your attention. If you’ve ever been to Lovelady, Texas, you’ve probably heard of Stesti Brewing Company. And if you’ve had a beer in Houston, you might know “Stesti Steve”—not his real name, but that’s what he
Now is the perfect time to celebrate Houston Beer

Sylvia Benavidez

Hold up…is it actually Houston Craft Beer Month? Didn’t we switch that to March? Well, that depends on who you ask. But you know what? Let’s celebrate anyway! Back in 2021, the fine folks at Houston Beer Guide had a brilliant idea: let’s dedicate an entire month to celebrating the incredible craft beer scene right
Beers under 5.2% to Cool You Down This Summer In Houston

Greg Shawinsky

June in Houston! Anyone who has spent any time in our incredible city during the summer months knows that it is hot outside now and getting hotter! Although, that does not mean we have any reason to slow down when it comes to enjoying Houston’s local beer scene. It has already been a great year
Headed out West to meet Downtown Dusty

Ronnie Risner

Katy residents are fortunate to have a mayor who not only supports but savors craft beer. William “Dusty” Thiele and No Label Brewing Co. have collaborated on an Amber Lager to honor his contributions to the city they proudly represent. Dubbed “Downtown Dusty,” this amber lager is currently a seasonal offering, but I’m making a
