Here are 5 local craft breweries with all the IPA’s, blondes, pale ales, sours and more! Enjoy & please drink responsibly. 

Karbach Brewing Company is a craft brewery that started in 2011 and offers a variety of beers like Wheat, IPA, Pale Ale and my favorite: Blonde, Love Street.

Saint Arnold Brewing Company is Texas’ oldest craft brewery that began brewing in 1994! This brewery offers year round beer like the popular Art Car IPA (inspired by Houston’s annual parade, The Art Car Parade) and Lawnmower, seasonal beer like my favorite: Oktoberfest and beer series like the Bishop’s Barrel Series of barrel aged beers. For many years, the brewery has offered fun brewery tours. A few years ago, they added a restaurant and beer garden perfect to hang out with friends and checking out the displayed Art Cars all while overlooking the downtown Houston skyline!

Eureka Heights Brewery is located above the Eureka Heights fault system in Houston, hence the cool name. This brewery offers beers with lower ABV% so that you can fully taste the flavors. One of my favorites is the Buckle Bunny (Cream Ale).  There is plenty of seating with picnic tables for you and your friends to enjoy!

Buffalo Bayou Brewing Company began in 2011 and most recently opened their three story building with a restaurant and a view of the downtown skyline! It is considered Houston’s most creative brewery as they have created various unique beers like minty stouts, pink beers, but also my favorite: Great White Buffalo (Witbier). I first tasted this beer when I joined the BON Running Club in Rice Village (3-mile run around Rice University Campus on Tuesdays, a beer token is given at Little Woodrow’s afterwards).
