Craft beer aficionados are in heaven in Houston, Texas. There are many breweries to check out in Space City, but we suggest starting with these top-notch companies:

Saint Arnold Brewing Company

If you’re looking for Austin’s greatest craft breweries, pay your respects to Saint Arnold Brewing Company. Saint Arnold is the oldest brewery in Texas, and in that time they’ve figured out what makes a great beer. Find a spot in their beautiful biergarten and try the German-style Lawnmower kolsch or Citrodos IPA.

8th Wonder Brewery

Head to the East Downtown area to check out what the 8th Wonder Brewery is about. Since opening its doors in 2013, 8th Wonder has established itself as a go-to Houston brewery. This brewery’s industrial, domed-shaped taproom lends itself well to enjoying a brew with the gang. Try the Dome Faux’m cream ale, the Vietnamese coffee porter, or the Cloud 8 hazy IPA.

Buffalo Bayou Brewing Co.

Buffalo Bayou has one of the most impressive taprooms in the city. The three-story brewery is massive. The open-air top floor offers a sweeping view of Houston’s cityscape. The brews themselves are equally impressive and creative. Since this brewery opened, it has produced over 70 brews, including the Comrade Cowbell red ale, Dreamsicle blonde ale, and the More Cowbell double IPA. Thanks to Buffalo Bayou’s wide selection, every palate is satisfied.

Whether you’re a self-proclaimed beer snob or you just want to share a pitcher of the good stuff with friends, these Houston breweries have you covered. Explore each and let us know which are your favorites.
