Beers under 5.2% to Cool You Down This Summer In Houston
June in Houston! Anyone who has spent any time in our incredible city during the summer months knows that it is hot outside now and getting hotter!

Celebrating Houston Beer Month in August
Houston Beer Month is in full swing! August is Houston Beer Month. Yeah….we just made it up. Isn’t that how all great ideas are started anyways?

Contributor Introduction: Tristin Marcks
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, and most importantly craft…

Contributor Introduction: Josh Wharton
Hi, Josh Wharton here. I am super excited to start writing for Houston Beer Guide and wanted y’all to get to know me. I first started drinking craft beer when I turned 21.

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

Heights Bike Trail Brewery Tour – Sunday May 7th
This Sunday, May 7th, Holler, Platypus, and Eureka Heights are teaming up for a 3-stop brewery tour – on bikes. The majority of the route will be along the Heights Hike & Bike trail or on dedicated bike lanes, so it should be an easy ride. It’s even easier when you think about everyone who just

New Year's Resolution: Drink (Somewhat) Healthier Beer!
We’ve officially reached the beginning of a new calendar year which means it’s time to reflect and aspire to a better 12 months than the previous. Beware of all your friends on social media with that unoriginal “new year, new me”, though. Most of us want to make improvements in things such as relationships, career,…
