Eureka Heights Brewing has always been a favorite brewery of mine. During peak pandemic when all restaurants and bars were closed, Eureka Heights steadily released one to two new beers every week from its drive thru. Of course, their year-round beers like Mini Boss and Buckle Bunny are great beers, but the pandemic really has

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

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 oatmeal stout. After 20 years

The pandemic has hit certain industries hard, with bars and restaurants being severely hit due to limited capacity regulations or being told to shut down. Houston has seen its share of restaurants, bars and breweries that have shuttered permanently. Though one brewery, Senate Avenue Brewing in Jersey Village, recently had its grand opening recently despite

My journey into beer started with my HATE for beer… my father’s beer (Bud Light). I remember being offered sips of this beverage at parties and many social gatherings of our expanded hispanic family, when I was younger, and never understanding how anyone could enjoy. When I finally became of age I figured beer just

My journey into craft beer was a bit of a winding one beginning in 2012 with some curiosity over the “fancy” beers in the coolers at my local gas station and my boredom with drinking the same old macrobrews I had been since college. Over time as I visited more craft beer bars, tap houses,
