8th Wonder Brewery Visitors Guide
Brewer, Nathan mentioned that they choose what to brew based on, "What's the city missing, plus seasonality." We also mentioned that they're not really well known for collabs for whatever reason, and when we mentioned that, Jose defended themselves like, "Hold up a minute! We're working on...

8th Wonder Astroturf
“Can’t wait for their beer to catch up with their marketing.” That’s something I hear from beer snobs from time to time, but 8th Wonder AstroTurf is the kind of beer that gives me the...

8th Wonder IP8 by Tony
IP8 poured a clear golden color, right on for a double IPA. There was 2 fingers of white fluffy head that melted down into a thin layer as I cooked my carne de pastor, and each sip left more and more creamy lace down the glass. It was more like a...

8th Wonder Weisstheimer by Tam

The post that almost never happened: After a few weeks of gathering beer from all over town, and one long ass drive to Galveston Island, we did it. We had them all. We met up with a few other friends for a potluck meal just before Thanksgiving, and the Top 5 Best IPAs in Houston was born.

8th Wonder Brewing Rocket Fuel by Nick B
8th Wonder Brewery did the city justice with Hopston. It's a TX IPA that's light on the tongue, but not light on flavor. I really dig 8th Wonder for their creativity - not only in the beers themselves, but in their names and artwork. Hopston's no different. Hopston is bit stronger in flavor than other IPAs I've had, but it's...
