#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

#HoustonBeerMonth Guest Submission from Ronnie Risner First allow me to say anyone who knows me knows there is no such things as “Stout Season” for me, as I am a year round stout drinker. So naturally I had to get my hands on Galveston Island Brewing’s Samson in a barrel 2021. Galveston Island brewing takes

#HoustonBeerMonth Guest submission by Chris Ayers New Magnolia Brewing is one of the newer breweries that has popped up in Houston, and they’re a pretty close neighborhood brewery to me.

I have been meaning to write about Urban South HTX for a while now, and finally had the chance to go and do just that. Anyone who knows the pedigree of their brew staff knows to expect hazy IPAs, fruity sours, and big stouts. Judging by the glassware I saw while I was there, the

Because Houston Beer Month occurs in August, there probably won’t be too many folks clamouring for Russian Imperial Stouts or similar heavy hitters due to the hot temperatures and high humidity. However, light, crushable beers are not the only types of beers that can be enjoyed in the summer. Malt-forward beers like Festbiers, which are

HOUSTON! YOU ARE INVITED! Aug 28th starting at 4pm I can’t think of a better place to host an event focused on celebrating Houston beer than Star Sailor HTX. This small beer boutique in the Heights embodies the community and vibes that I think best represents the craft beer scene in Houston. More on that
