I gotta say, I’m feeling pretty damn lucky. If I knew how to play the game of poker, this article might be a nod to the mind games that happens in that game but instead I prefer the random roll of the dice. I’ve been spending all that luck and part of my new years

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

This is the first article in a new series called “Taste it First with Tristin” where I try upcoming releases from breweries, and give you my unbiased opinion about whether this beer is worth waiting for or worth a trek to the brewery on release day. First to pick up the gauntlet for “Taste it

If you haven’t heard of Ingenious Brewing yet, they are one of the leaders in Houston for big flavors in beer. They are known for their juicy NEIPAs, their fruit bomb sours, and their decadent pastry stouts. I swung by their brewery and tap room on 59, just north of the beltway a couple weeks

As Winter fades into the cool-ish temperatures we call winter here in Houston, the thing that gets me excited is all the local special releases of big boozy stouts. Now I could (and often do) drink stouts throughout the year, but something just hits differently when you are bundled up around a fire sipping a
