“We are thrilled to launch the Brew City, Texas program, which represents a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to support and elevate the craft brewing industry in Texas,” said Caroline Wallace, Executive Director of the Texas Craft Brewers Guild. “By collaborating with cities committed to celebrating the unique culture and flavors of Texas craft beer, we aim to drive tourism, stimulate local economies, and further establish Texas as a world class beer destination.“

The Brew City initiative hopes to get these city and municipal governments to join the initiative in one of two ways: “Craft Beer Destinations” and “Emerging Brewscapes”. Craft Beer Destinations are aimed toward cities, like Houston, which are well known nationally as craft beer locations of importance.  The Emerging Brewscapes covers smaller communities looking to boost economic opportunities through attracting their inaugural brewery.  In the end, this gives locations of all sizes and brewery population density an opportunity to improve craft beer related tourism in the state.  

The Galveston area has been designated as an ‘Early Adoptor’ of the new Brew City program as a Craft Beer Destination. According to the press release from the Texas Craft Brewer Guild writes “Nestled just 50 miles from Houston, Galveston, Texas, is a charming Southern retreat with a rich tapestry of art, historic architecture, chic boutiques and ghost legends. Set on a quaint Gulf Coast barrier island, Galveston invites visitors to experience its unique charm. While the 32 miles of beaches make the city an iconic destination, Galveston offers much more beyond the shore. Explore the city’s vibrant culture and history, and savor the flavors of the local craft beer scene with breweries like Galveston Island Brewing Company, Devil and the Deep Brewing and Naked Iguana waiting to be discovered.” 

Sugar Land has also joined in as an Emerging Brewscape, with the Guild commenting, “Located in eastern Fort Bend County, Sugar Land is approximately 20 miles southwest of downtown Houston. Sugar Land Parks & Recreation strives to create and maintain unparalleled recreational opportunities and unique, high-quality parks and public spaces enhancing our community, with exceptional customer service.

The Texas Craft Brewers Guild also notes that the Brew City, Texas effort is part of a five year long strategic plan to prioritize promotion of Texas craft beer as a “world class beer destination.”

Houston Guild member breweries always represent the city well at the Craft Brewers Festival, and this year was no exception. Nine different breweries from the greater Houston area participated in this year’s event. Four as sponsors of event: Saint Arnold, No Label, Lone Pint and True Anomaly.  The other participants were Eureka Heights Brew Co., Excalibur Brewing, Galveston Bay Brewing, Galveston Island Brewing, Great Heights Brew Co.

Saint Arnold has been a supporter of the Texas Craft Brewers Guild going back to its inception in 2009. 

“Saint Arnold was a founding member of the Guild and our owner, Brock Wagner, was an inaugural Board member. The Guild has been integral in helping to change laws in Texas to create an atmosphere where small and independent breweries can actually thrive.”

Lennie Ambrose, Chief Marketing Officer at Saint Arnold Brewing

Lennie also acts as a member of the Board of Directors for the Craft Brewers Guild.  

The festival itself was held on a hot Saturday afternoon in south Austin, hosted by the Fiesta Gardens event space.  Entry into the event was quick and very organized, being handled by numerous volunteer staff to make sure that lines to get into the event did not back up and slow down.  The brewery tents themselves were sorted out in numerous different sections and placed in alphabetical order.  Many of the sponsor tents were arranged around the center pavilion of the space, giving them central access to the event, and some highly coveted shade.  

One of the main attractions at the event was the True Anomaly tent. True Anomaly was named Large Brewery Group Brewery of the Year back in February at the Craft Brewers Guild Brewers Cup awards.  This distinction is not taken lightly by the brewery.

“Being named the ‘large-brewery group,’ Texas Brewery of the Year has already had such an amazing impact, and we’re exceptionally proud of the beers that got us into the spotlight.  True Anomaly brews a wide variety of styles, though I think most know at this point that the heart of our beer program is driven by Belgians, Saisons, and Barrel-aged projects that push the boundaries of exploration.  It’s these exact beers that were recognized during the competition which led to the Brewery of the Year distinction, and not just for True Anomaly.  The ‘small-brewery group’ Texas Brewery of the Year was also recognized largely by their experimental styles.”

Michael Duckworth of True Anomaly

Both True Anomaly and Vector Brewing partnered to release a special, experimental collaboration Japanese Rice Lager for the Brewers Fest called Daikuko. The release was a 4.1% alcohol by volume crushable brew made with sushi grade Yamada Nishiki rice and hopped with Japanese Sorachi Ace.  

My first stop at the Brewers Fest was at the Eureka Heights tent for a taster of 713 Pils, a brewery staple and personal favorite.  Prior to the Festival I reached out to Eureka Heights for a comment as to why they believe the Craft Brewers Guild is important and the importance of participating in the festival.

“We believe that the Texas Craft Brewers Guild is incredibly important to the craft beer industry in Texas. They provide a ton of educational and networking opportunities, as well as provide a unified voice for legislative matters. The community of craft breweries is incredibly strong in Texas, and the Guild is a big reason why. Plus, the festival is a blast.”

Casey Motes, Co-Founder of Eureka Heights Brewing

Casey Motes is also a member of the Craft Brewers Guild Board of Directors.  

While tasting my 713 Pils, I began conversing with another patron at the Eureka Heights booth named Ben Tillman. Ben is a native Houstonian turned Austin transplant who attends the Brewers Fest annually and likes to catch up on the offerings from his home town. He joined my venturing around the festival and was asked what he looks forward to the most at the event Houston beer wise.  Ben said, “I don’t get to go back home too often, and getting Houston beer up here (in Austin) is kind of hit or miss, so I try to check out the Houston breweries to see what kind of stuff they are coming out with and compare it to what Austin has to offer. I don’t do social media like Insta or anything, so I enjoy sampling the Houston beers at this festival.” 

Another stop on my list was Galveston Bay Brewing, which had a special release available at the Pink Boots Society booth, called Katie and the Giant Peach, a fruited blonde ale.  Unfortunately, Katie and the Giant Peach was floated before I could even get a taster. Alas, gone means gone. This was one of those beers that I had interest in trying while at the festival and had reached out ahead of time to the Head Brewer of Galveston Bay Brewing Skyler Forshage for some info on. 

“In addition to our support for the festival, we’re strong advocates of the Pink Boots Society, recognizing the vital work they do, especially here in Texas. This year, one of our lead bartenders and Pink Boots member, Katie (Rawson), led our Pink Boots Collaboration Brew Day, helping to create a unique blonde ale recipe featuring roasted peaches, fresh peach puree, and the latest Pink Boots hop blend. Katie is no stranger to brewing and in fact she’s helped out in nearly every aspect of the brewery over the years from brewing and packaging to managing the bar so it was really cool to have her involved in this year’s collab.”

Skyler Forshage – Brewer at Galveston Bay Brewing

I guess this means a trip to the Galveston Bay brewery for me to try this beer out.  

Overall, this year’s fest was an amazing experience.  I ran into several good friends, both fans of craft beer and people in the brewing industry. It was great getting to spend some time with him over some beer and with mutual friends.  

This festival was extremely well organized and loved by all that attended. There was a lot of excellent craft beer from around the State to sample, and the staff, both brewery affiliated and volunteers, were welcoming and provided as much information about the beer they were serving while trying to keep the lines moving.  There was plenty of water stations and portable restrooms throughout the event as well.  Friendly people and plenty of beer can’t help but equal a good time.   

I would like to finish this off by offering a special Thank You to the staff at the Texas Craft Brewers Guild for assisting me in providing answers to several questions for this story and being exceptionally friendly to a newbie covering this event!   

Some of the beer samples I had at the event include:

• 2013 Pumpkinator Imperial Pumpkin Stout – Saint Arnold Brewing (Houston)
• 713 Pils – Eureka Heights Brew Co. (Houston)
• Avalonian Double Hazy IPA – Excalibur Brewing (Spring)

I’m proud to announce that Houston Beer Guide is making a triumphant return in January with new contributors, ready to document and share Houston’s finest craft beers, exploding beer culture and expanding beer scene.  We aren’t real professional journalists, just passionate beer lovers that want to give Houston’s beer community a voice. We hope you will stick around to listen to it.  

Hey, I’m Sylvia. For years, I’ve watched fellow friend, local homebrewer Josh Frink and his team of writers share their passion for craft beer through these articles of expression.  Through these simple writings,  I’ve seen the diversity of brews created and shared in this city truly represent the vast differences we share being craft beer enthusiasts and supporters. With what was once a small niche hobby, you can’t help but recognize that everyone  and their grandma is drinking nowadays and at the very least, tasting local craft beer.  Crazy beer releases that draw insane Black Friday-like antics still amaze me and I’m excited to see events like this foster the newest wave of craft beer drinkers to come.   Fruit forward ales, sugarly dessert-like concoctions and pickle beers seem to be everywhere but the return of the refreshing drinkable lager still remains the standard for your average craft beer drinker. Still in my opinion, traditional brewing techniques and brewing sensory training still remain to be a critical part of the ultimate execution of quality beer but yeah of course, it’s nice to see that the landscape has changed to include these fun ingredients.  Who doesn’t love a beer that tastes like their favorite food?  Not only do our beer taste preferences vary in choice, but the many ways we choose to enjoy these tasty malt beverages. Whether that includes chasing brewing trends, hunting “whales” or trading beers from other states or simply cracking open a no fuss favorite in the comfort of our home – beer has become a fulfilling yet functional hobby for many.  By contributing and leading the charge on the success of Houston Beer Guide, I hope to share my craft beer perspective and pledge to create a creative and safe place for other writers to do the same. 

My craft beer obsession became a “thing” a few short years ago while enjoying a delicious pork banh mi at a local sandwich eatery in Friendswood, just south of Houston.  Locals know this spot as the “original Nobi sandwich shop”.  There was a paper sign hung behind the kitchen counter that read “New Craft Beer Bar in Webster, Coming Soon”.  I had tried Sam Adam’s Boston Lager and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale before but never knew the quality of locally produced craft beer.  Enduring the awful acoustics and uncomfortable bar stools at this new craft beer pub, we quickly became ‘regulars’, drinking away all our extra cash trying everything in 5oz pours. At the time, the popular beer checking application, Untappd was recently released and we were busy trying to catch ’em all! Once we found a favorite, we made sure to get a free pint of it on Pork Chop Tuesday.  Over the years, my beer choosing habits slowly morphed into what looks alot like my dining preferences now. I make it a rule to try everything (at least once!) and never judge a beer by it’s label.  For me, purchasing power comes with the changes of the wind and is surprisingly synced with my vibe.  IPAs for the outdoors, stouts for the couch.  That being said, special thank you to the Nobi Public House family for being that special place to remember, you opened the doors to business and the door to my crooked craft beer heart.  I am thankful to have The Beagle right in my backyard as a place to remind me of my beer roots. 

Enough of that.  Let’s talk about this year….

This year kicked off pretty normal with 66 breweries in operation with brewers across the city steady filling up fermenters and planning the annual brew schedules with one thing in mind, to brew great beer for the amazing people of this city.  It’s no surprise breweries were laser focused on providing the best beer experience they could offer.  March arrived and we started taking notice of our everyday lives starting to change.  Many local breweries were forced to shut the doors to taprooms, finding creative ways to continue operating business, and asking their customers to support them more now than ever.  Beer fans across the city made sure to load up on grocery store essentials and canceled their plans to enjoy their beer without their friends – safely at home.    When May arrived, breweries were able to reopen tap rooms and patios for a short time before being ordered to close once again.  In mid July, TABC released guidance regarding a license modification that allowed breweries to operate to go sale with limited patio dine in service.  While that didn’t last very long, craft beer fans were already busy organized to take action by engaging with social media initiatives like The Houston Beer Run organized by an online Facebook group I help admin, Texas Beer Collective. This project was important because we knew that the only way these breweries would be around post-pandemic, was if we contributed our hard earned dollars towards the purchase of local independent craft beer.   On Friday July 24, TABC issued a different ruling regarding how the 51 percent designation is determined, meaning what qualifies a business as a restaurant (which can open for dine-in service) versus a bar (which can’t).  All this, requiring an additional permit to be legal. Good grief!  Fast forward to December, here we are, still trying to figure out how to balance our safety alongside the continuation of our lives and a bit of normalcy.  I don’t know about you but I’ve mastered the ability to enjoy a beer responsibly with a face mask if I have to, and I sure as hell don’t complain about it or give service staff a hard time. And you shouldn’t either.  

2020 was definitely NOT full of rainbows and sunshine and I’ve learned alot about my beer consumption, and the beer community around me.   Despite these current challenges, new brewery openings such as Local Group Brewing, Urban South HTX, and 6 Wards Brewing kept beer fans busy, trying new brews and visiting unexplored tap rooms to support beer to go.   I’ve learned that craft beer consumers are always challenged to try new beer recipes and this year was no different, despite the challenges that this pandemic brought.  I hope that through this that more consumers find value and more satisfaction supporting their local city’s craft beer business.  

Want a hoppy IPA, try out Spindletap Brewery in 5th Ward. 

 Looking for a dark decadent stout, try Saloon Door Brewing in Webster.  

Want a clean refreshing kolsch? Saint Arnold’s Lawnmower is still an old favorite that is available at most local gas stations even when you are in a hurry.  

This city has much to beer to offer and THAT IS WORTH CELEBRATING! 

I wondered what others thought about craft beer in 2020 so a few of new contributors chimed in with their thoughts……

“The surge of support from the beer community was amazing and I was happy to lead a route for the Houston Beer Run this year. I spent a lot of money in support of my local breweries and enjoyed seeing people that were not familiar with craft beer step in and explore! Because of the pandemic, consumers kept local to their neighborhoods so I am hoping 2021 allows folks to visit more breweries in our Houston area.   Also, as politically divisive this year was, beer remained the centerfold to keep craft beer drinkers united.  This year, I continued to enjoy one of my favorites, Gentleman’s Relish from Lone Pint Brewery.  This amazing brown ale not only comes in at a great price ($10 per 4-pack) but continues to be my go-to choice throughout the year. “ – Tristin Marcks

“This year, the resilience of Houston area breweries was on display more than ever.  Despite the hurdles, breweries continued  to show creativity by innovating new ways to stay engaged with the beer consumers.  As an example, Eureka Heights Brewing Co. continued to launch new beer releases each week, and while they aren’t the most eye-catching on social media, the beer was always delicious.   The beer that I enjoyed most this year was Taco Tuesday Mexican Lager with Lime from 11 Below Brewing Company.  – Cody Miller 

“Keep up the support, beer fans! Nobody wanted to be quarantined this year but it’s nice to see everyone still willing to check out new breweries!  Be sure to check out award winning Vallenson’s Brewery and taste any of the craft “tea” variants if they are on tap from Vallenson’s Brewing Company in Pearland. Good stuff!” – Bryan “Chops” Soliz

“I second the resilience. The ability to pivot into trying something new has proved to be instrumental for smaller breweries.  For a city this size, we thankfully noticed only a few closings which is very impressive.  The support from organizations like CraftPac, operated by the Texas Craft Brewers Guild has been instrumental to fighting for better beer laws and progressive beer legislation.  This is something I hope will continue in full force in 2021.  This year, I kept with my go-to options : Art Car IPA from Saint Arnold Brewing Company and Mini Boss from Eureka Heights Brew Co.” – James Weiss

James is right.  This city would not be where it is now without our loyal craft beer fans and beer industry advocates.  Pat yourself on the back for not only creating an industry that feeds a lot of families but is also home to the coolest, most down to earth people I know.  Because of you, this energy has resulted in an amazing city to drink beer in.  

 It wouldn’t be a goodbye article without an ode to those we lost during 2020.  Much love for our pals at Fetching Lab Brewery who’s taproom has permanently closed after nearly two years of operation.  #TeamAmber.  Thanks for having me along for all the great times and the opportunity to meet new friends along the way.  Right up there with Fetching Lab is Texas Beer Refinery, another lost brewery of 2020.   We certainly haven’t forgotten about the great times and tasty Mexican IPA. 

We hope you will visit Houston Beer Guide often to see what we are drinking and what craft beer experiences we are sharing.  If you are interested in sharing your perspective of beer in Houston, shoot us an email! 

Happy New Year!

The post Goodbye 2020 – Hello 2021! first appeared on Houston Beer Guide.

Held under the pavilion at Hennessy Park next to Saint Arnold Brewing Company, the small venue was a perfect setting for this bite-sized festival. The 10.79-gallon firkins used for the event allowed brewers to offer a small batch for experimentation to add adjuncts to, creating concoctions with fruit, spices, chocolate, coffee and other special ingredients. Fifteen Texan breweries brought firkins full of beer featuring everything from peanut butter to peppers.

Freetail’s Double Cherry Bexarliner was a hit. Though I prefer their more refreshing peach version, the tart Michigan Montmorency cherries in the latest of their Berliner Weisse fruit series paired well with the lactic tang of the beer. An improvement over the too-restrained single Cherry Bexarliner, which was served on the festival’s specialty tap wall, the extra cherry punch of the Double was just what the Berliner needed. Also fruity and refreshing was the addition of grapefruit to Real Ale’s White, a dry-hopped Belgian wit. Crisp with a subtle grapefruit finish, it hit the spot at the hottest time of day on the summer afternoon.

The popular variant vanilla earned high marks in its starring roles in New Republic’s Vanilla Sky, based on their Skylight dunkelweizen, and Lone Pint’s vanilla and chicory variation of their standby brown ale, Gentleman’s Relish. Though a bit overpowering in the dunkelweizen, the vanilla was a natural complement to the typical banana flavor of the hefeweizen yeast, and it tamed the boldness of the chicory in the brown ale.

No Label brought two cocktail-inspired beers: Old Fashion Ridgeback Ale and Dark & Stormy 1^st Street Blonde. The Old Fashion was the more successful of the two. Bourbon cherries, bitters and orange peel added complexity to the dark amber brew and nicely accented its existing caramel notes and roasted malt. The rum-soaked ginger and lime enlivened the blonde, but the lime finish was too intense.

Arguably the most audacious experiment, Cycler’s Ryed Hard (Reubenized) was the brewery’s take on a Reuben sandwich. Their rye ale was made over with mustard seed, star anise, juniper berries, dill seed, bay leaves, ginger, cloves, cardamom, allspice, coriander and mace to taste like a Reuben without the corned beef: an odd beer, but it worked well.

Like any experiment, the results can vary. Sometimes the result is something you want to replicate, and sometimes it falls flat. In my opinion, Deep Ellum’s Very Berry Dallas Blonde, 8^th Wonder’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Rocket Fuel, and Real Ale’s modified Real Heavy Scotch ale were misses. The Very Berry Blonde tasted like a watered-down berry lemonade, the Peanut Butter Chocolate Rocket Fuel was thin and had hardly any discernible peanut butter flavor, and the Real Heavy with English tea tips, candied figs and dried apricot had too many flavors to focus on.

A late entry in the Fest, new kid on the block Eureka Heights really impressed me with My Stoutrifice, an incredibly well-balanced milk stout brewed with Mexican cinnamon and peppers. It’s one of the best pepper beers I’ve ever had.

Other highlights included (512) Café au Lait, their venerable Pecan Porter with a coffee kick; the sarsaparilla-spiked Brazos Valley NYF Silt Brown, a dead-ringer for its namesake, Not Your Father’s Root Beer; Deep Ellum Tongue Punch, a solid tropical twist on their standard IPA; and the luscious, creamy Nutella®-like evolution of Southern Star’s Buried Hatchet Stout, Deez Hazelnutz.

Those standouts were a warm-up for my vote for Best in Show: Karbach Bourbon Barrel Hellfighter Horchata. The welcoming, warm cinnamon nose invited me to drink the imperial porter. Bourbon upfront with a grainy backbone and a cinnamon finish, it was a perfect symphony of flavors and one of my favorite BBHs to date. I really hope Karbach releases this one, at least in limited batches, so more people can try it.

Though most of the beers at the Fest were variation of standards from their regular beer lines, some breweries brought unaltered brews, showing off the richer, smoother character of cask-conditioned beers. Karbach offered their lupulin bomb, Hop Delusion Double IPA; Southern Star’s newish IPA, Conspiracy Theory, made an appearance; the revered Saint Arnold Divine Reserve 15 Russian Imperial Stout came out of retirement for the occasion, and 8^th Wonder’s tasty limited-release gose, Haterade, was also featured at the Fest.

One of my favorite aspects of this festival was the signage. Too often at festivals you are left on your own to figure out what you are actually drinking. Firkin Fest featured signs labeling the style, ABV, IBU and a detailed description of each beer and its transformation from its normal base into its firkin alter ego. Even better, some of the brewers were on hand to ask questions about their beers. The intimacy of the event allowed for longer discussions with the brewers, which I very much enjoyed. I’ll be back next year.

The post Houston Firkin Fest 2016: A Firkin Good Time appeared first on Houston Beer Guide.

Why would a brewery use a firkin over a regular keg? Well, the firkin lends itself better to allowing natural conditioning and makes the beer have a smoother finish because of the lack of CO2 needed. It is also an outlet for a brewery to try something special like adding fruit, chocolate, coffee, spices or any other adjunct that the brewery wants to experiment with. Breweries now a days seem to like to use these to add an adjunct to a beer that they commonly brew, and that is what makes this festival so exciting. These beers will be unique. Yes, some of the breweries will have firkins of something they regularly sell, but just putting that in the firkin will change it a bit. In addition, this year there will we a draft wall with 10 limited releases from the participating breweries.

Speaking of participating breweries, it’s a who’s who of the Texas craft beer scene. The festival is actually run by the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, so in many ways it’s the breweries putting this on. The following breweries are planning on participating: Real Ale Brewing Company, Saint Arnold Brewing Company, Freetail Brewing Co., Deep Ellum Brewing Company, Brigadoon Brewery & Brew School, (512) Brewing Company, Cycler’s Brewing, Karbach Brewing Co., No Label Brewing Co., 8th Wonder Brewery, Lone Pint Brewery, New Republic Brewing Company, Southern Star Brewing Company, Brazos Valley Brewing Company and Buffalo Bayou Brewing Company.

Check back as the festival nears as we will update this article with the full beer list, and check back after the festival as I will be writing up a review. I’d love to hear about what you’re drinking and enjoying most that day. So, write a comment after the festival, or better yet, come say hello if you see me; I’ll be out there enjoying it.
