A Hangout in the Heights
Located just off White Oak Bayou at 17th, New Magnolia has created a great spot for the Houston beer drinker. Their taproom and brewery feels old school in the best way possible. They don’t try to be anything but a place to drink their great beer, with an assortment of seating from a long bar looking at the taps to…
Quadratonic by City Acre
I like strong beers. Barrel-aged stouts, boozy barleywines, high ABV DIPAs, whatever. Unlike some breweries whose sole intention seems to be making all of their beers so strong no mortal man can finish a pint while remaining upright, City Acre doesn’t generally produce especially strong beers just because they’re…
Great Beers and Food Make Local Group Out of This World
Local Group Brewing With their official grand opening February 28th last year, Local Group Brewin g has had a difficult first year in business.

Opening weekend at Vallensons' Brewing Company in Pearland back in 2017 was like most typical brewery openings. Fresh beers, new taproom with shiny brewing equipment, and new opportunities to make new beer friends. Alongside the pale ale, amber and american wheat style ale being debuted that day, was a traditional…
A Look at the Newest Houston Brewery: Senate Avenue Brewing Company

Ingenious Brewing Brings Inventive Brews to Humble
The aptly named Ingenious Brewing Company recently opened in Humble. Serving 24 constantly rotating taps of imaginative brews from Blueberry Papaya IPA to Bourbon Barrel Cadbury Russian Imperial Stout, this outside-the-box brewery is worth a trip outside the Loop. The unlikely duo of Justin Gyorfi, a urologist from…
It’s Opening Weekend for Texas Leaguer Brewing Company
According to 2015 statistics from the Brewers Association, 75% of adults in the United States live within 10 miles of a brewery. I would guess that number is even higher in 2017. I, however, am in the minority. In fact, just about anyone living in Missouri City and large parts of Sugar Land are probably
