Karbach Rodeo Clown Double IPA has, and continues to be, pound for pound one of the boldest old school IPAs on store shelves. It’s the type of IPA that made many beer industry veterans...

The mix is what makes it, but the beer can't be overlooked! Some of the best michelada beers are crisp, clean, lagers. A few of them...
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...
Here's a guide to the local Oktoberfest beers--no lederhosen or dirndles required, but you will sit at a long table outside with your new best friends....
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. None of us are official BJCP judges or cicerones (yet), as you may have read elsewhere on the site, but here's our take as consumers - just regular dudes that...
Fresh Nugs has a cleeeeean flavor - man it's so good. The flavor starts off bright and crisp. Since the news of the Karbach sellout, this beer is going to be a bit harder to find.

It's a beer they brewed to honor their fifth anniversary, and it's completely ridiculous. The flavor changes drastically as it warms up, and everything intensifies. As you take a sip, it starts off somewhat boozy, then it gets...
Krunkin Pumpkin took me by surprise. I've read all the pumpkin beer hate, and I gotta admit, it was hard going into this with an open mind. But for the sake of an unbiased review, I went for it. That's said, Krunkin Pumpkin's pretty good. It starts off with the...
Karbachtoberfest reminds me of a stronger version of Shiner's Oktoberfest. They share some of the same malty sweetness. Albeit a bit mild, Shiner's is milder. I'd recommend this to someone wanting to try something with a little more flavor than the macro brewed stuff, but not yet ready for an...
