Ingenious Brewing Brings Inventive Brews to Humble
The aptly named Ingenious Brewing Company recently opened in Humble.

The unlikely duo of Justin Gyorfi, a urologist from…
Making Some Noise for Holler Brewing Co.
Like many of us, John & Kathryn Holler moved to Houston to work, and, like many us, they found an unexpected home here; they could not think of a single place they’d rather open a brewery.

BAKFISH Brewing Company
Over the last few years, there has been a lot of growth in the number of breweries in the Houston area. Unfortunately for this Friendswood dweller, the majority of that growth has not touched the Southeast side of town. Brian Allen and Kris Szecsy took notice of this and intentionally found a location for their…
