When they launch Friday December 1st they will be doing On Demand only and then the 2nd or 3rd week in December they will launch their app. Full launching in January with the rest of the options.....
Many of y'all are already a part of the Saint Arnold Army, others may be avid Pub Crawlers, but how many of you are a part of the Saint Arnold Society? Probably zero as of right now, but you'll be digging through the couch cushions...
In its most simplest form, a Crowler is a big ass can of beer. If that’s all you came for, then you’re good to go to your next stop as you kill time at work thinking about beer related things instead of well, work. But in typical Beer Chronicle fashion...
Hurricane Harvey is raining on everyone's parade. Of the 6 people on the Beer Chronicle team, 3 have been impacted dramatically by these floods, and we only represent a tiny sample of the people affected city-wide. (Estimates of 30,000+ people will need shelter.) With that said, these dollars could be going...

If you're looking for where to find water in Houston, we've been told that Bud Light counts as long as you're really out of water...
The Baa Baa Eclipse Teku glass seemed like a bigger deal than the beer! The moral of the story here is, Baa Baa's small. Real small. Chill out. Or don't...
After a bit of digging, asking, and a few vague responses, we got the news straight from the horse's mouth. You may have been keeping up with this story that started with our last post. We were originally trying to shut down the rumor mill, but that's real hard when the rumors are...
Strange things are afoot at the Circle K. An announcement on Texian's Facebook has the Houston beer nerds a-buzz as of 8:00PM Thursday August 3, 2017, and the early comments from Josh Haley are even more...
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...
The pours they gave us were the base beer, samples from each individual barrel, the 2017 blended batch, and the batch from 2016. If you want to know why they call it Big Mistake RIS...
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...
Chris and I have both had the pleasure of visiting SpindleTap before this evening and we enjoyed different experiences. Chris stopped in to grab some of their Derrickman Dubbel One Year Anniversary Ale and it was a lively atmosphere, but he was in and out pretty quickly. I experienced a welcoming, quiet atmosphere on a non-big-event Saturday afternoon; terrific beer and easy parking. I brought my...
We asked a bit about the philosophy behind the beer and who they're trying to reach. Bobby explained to us that Back Pew Brewing isn't really interested in brewing beer to transition people from macro to craft. He believes there are plenty of other breweries that'll do that just fine. "We brew beer that we believe in, simple as that." That's why they put so much effort into brewing a...
Kurt explained to us the thought process behind each beer. "We want to brew drinkable beers that lower the barrier of entry for people that drink macro." Their philosophy of brewing low ABV beers in various styles is an attempt to share more good beer with more people. They're also largely inspired when they're drinking, Bruce explained. "I usually have a beer of XYZ flavor, and I say to Kurt...
Chris reached out to Baa Baa Brewhouse and introduced Beer Chronicle. He mentioned that we'd like to check the place out for a little write up. 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...
