Parish to keep Ghost in the beer fridge.

Saint Arnold's for most everything else.

Vallensons for solid beer and a good community hangout, game watching, family friendly brewery.

I only go to those who actually have a good lager.

But I'm also old and would rather enjoy a beer on my porch than in a loud brewery.


I hear you. My brewery visits these days are mainly Hot Corner day drinking.

Parish has good beer but man, their tasting room sucks. They need to take note from Great Raft & Seventh Tap Project.

These new brewery renders are terrible too. It looks too sterile & more like an office. I don’t want to hang out in there

I switched from years of craft beer to bourbon years ago. The craft beer bloats me. I can sip bourbon all night and feel fine. If day drinking I’d mix bourbon with soda over craft beer. If at the beach or yard work it’s light lagers

What could they do to bring in more clients?


1) IMO - offer an everyday Mexican lager or something to appease those who do not care to try an IPA or don’t even know what a sour is.
2) pizza & wings seem to be a great options - I think of Natchez Brewery
3) one man acoustic never upsets anyone - again, I think of Natchez brewery

Well, you parked for that $20 and drank a few beers for $10.

One shitty mass produced can of beer will cost you that much in the park.

Sounds like a wash for you and helps out a local business. Win-Win

About a month ago a group of us to Rally Cap on a Saturday night. Walked in, noticed a couple of guys setting up a full drum kit, amps, the works. When they kicked off with a version of Crazy Train, all chances of hearing the person next to us went out the window

They were actually pretty good, and I like that type of music. But in a giant concrete and metal room, I don’t understand bringing in a band that renders conversation impossible

I have never been much of a brewery goer. Most of the time they have a corporate atmosphere and usually only have 1 or 2 of brews I like. There are exceptions but even in Dallas, there are really only 2 or 3 breweries I would hang out at and they are too far from my house to do so regularly. I would much rather go to a bar that has craft beer and a better atmosphere and honestly, the last couple of years, I go more for atmosphere regardless of the tap list. I'll happily drink Coors Banquet in a cool spot.

There’s a brewery a couple blocks from Minute Maid Park where if you spend at least $15 before an Astros game, you can park there for free during the game.
which brewery?
