In the last 4 months, there have been announcements of nearly 10 houston breweries closing, selling, or changing ownership, and it has left Houston beer drinkers wondering who’ll be left brewing their favorite beer...
Labor day weekend means beer and grilling. Why not let somebody else cook for you and enjoy your choice of 150+ beers at Brewmasters Craft Beer Fest 2019...
Sweet, rich, complex, and fruity-esters dominate each sip as only Medusa could. The lively carbonation adds a refreshing mouthfeel to a beer that could otherwise be perceived as...
I’ll never forget, I was at a Christmas play with my son on the day we launched. I had to show my wife how to modify some code so the website would be ‘live’… I’ve never been more nervous (she did a great job). We opened at noon that day and the play ended right at...
Copperhead King of Terrors is the opposite of a sting. It’s a smooth sipper that hides the 15%ABV and 100 IBUs beneath layers of warming coffee flavor. As the finish sips, there’s a rush of...
The irony here is that last year we had to work pretty hard to gather all the IPAs, and do it quickly all while being mindful of the bottled/canned dates. This time, we didn't have to worry about freshness nearly as much, but we managed to wrangle all the stouts together much quicker. We met up at Drink of Ages and had Jon partake in the...
It smells like very-ripe mango and cantaloupe. Nick said it was a bit vegetal, but I don’t get that - just heavy, ripe fruit and a tiny little alcohol note on the finish; all of...
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.....
Copperhead Black Venom Imperial Stout is jet-black and full of roasty, velvety-smooth chocolate notes and it's way too easy to drink for 10% ABV. There's a...
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...
Last weekend was ridiculously full of beer events and releases. It was a particularly good weekend for juice heads. Spindletap, Sigma, Baa Baa, and Copperhead all released hazy IPAs. Copperhead Citraaddicted more than held it's own with Operation Juice Drop, 4xDDH Medina Sod, and Houston Haze. My recommendation is pretty simple, if you like hazy IPA's it's a great time to be in Houston. Drink them all! ...
Copperhead Athena has scents of yeast, fruit, and very mild alcohol. Similarly in taste, she is malt forward, with almost no detectible hop bitterness, featuring a lightly sweet, yeasty flavor. My favorite feature of Athena, you may ask? Her absolutely impeccable...
Leading in to Medusa, I've been known to feel (and say) that quadruple ales are not all that tasty to me UNLESS they have been barrel aged. I'm not sure if it's the fact that...
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...
Feeding Frenzy falls into my dangerously good category of beers. The 8% abv is so well hidden it's scary. One sip and those juicy characteristics come right up on the tongue. The Amarillo, Citra and...
I was nervous as hell to try out another one of Copperheads concoctions since my last just didn’t sit right with me (*cough* Medusa *cough*). So on a suggestion, given by several of my fellow authors, I ventured once more down the aisles of HEB toward the Houston craft beer section and found a brew that would restore my confidence in their brewing company...
Kangaroo Killer Pale Ale by Copperhead Brewery is quickly becoming a go to brew! Tony and I were actually able to sit down with Seth the day before he released the beer and half way through the beer I got a call from my wife asking me to leave because my son ran out of formula at daycare. So I did what every dad in the world would do, I pretended like I couldn't hear her and hung up. You know I couldn't do that! I left and...
As it goes down, there's a soft after taste of more Grapefruit, pineapple and tropical goodness followed by a long-lingering aftertaste. It's a dangerously smooth 8% though. There's a tiny alcohol note on the after taste as it warms up, but...
I think there are mild beers and there are subtle beers. Kangaroo Killer Pale Ale was subtle in the very best way. The aroma of this sneaky little Pale Ale was super-bright and citrusy. Sitting at a subtle 5% ABV, it's crushable, and just like a tiny baby copperhead, it could get...
After milking Black Venom into my Teku glass, it's color was jet black with a coffee tan head and the beer had a semi-thick viscosity to it. The nose had coffee and sweet molasses in a very fine balance with hints of dark chocolate. I imagine...
