In the hot days of August, I always find myself reaching for the crispiest of crispy beers. I have a few standbys, but I’m always looking for something new to try. I”ve seen 11 Below’s Lil’ Snack in years past, but hadn’t tried it yet so I decided to have that to start Houston Beer

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
