It was a balmy afternoon in the Heights as the crew pulled up to the little blue building off of Calvalcade and North Main. Having been there before, the Town in City vets warned the rest of the team of the...

Even though Copperhead Brewery has only been open for 2 years, they've seen such tremendous growth in that time, but Seth would like that growth to...
When we asked Kris to share his biggest goal for BAKFISH Brewing, he said with a look of determination, "What's next! We want to continue to get our name out there and naturally see what...
Every time we visit a brewery, whether for a big write up like this or just for a few beers one afternoon, we always leave with a little gem. Jeff gets the credit today. "Beer is a commodity. We don't sell beer. We...
Cycler's Brewing has a few beers coming out soon. They'll have an India Pale Lager, a RIS with vanilla beans, a Rye Pils, a wild-plum kettle-sour, a new Belgian Trippel and some...

Not only did owners Marcus and Kinga welcome us, they opened the place up on a weekday evening, after work, just for us. That hospitality would set the tone for our visit....
We had a good time at Shiner Brewery, but it wasn't anything like we expected. Having been to breweries around town, our expectations may have been skewed a little bit (because Houston's so awesome) but despite that, we had fun and learned some...
