Going to be in Houston this weekend and I'm looking fr recommendations on which breweries to go see. In the past I've been to: St. Arnold, 8th Wonder, Holler, Platypus, Karbach, and Whole Foods on Post Oak.

I want to go to B52 but won't have the time to make it up to Conroe. For this weekend I'm thinking Spindletap, Brash, and either Sigma or Under The Radar. Solid choices or would any of you Houston guys recommend changing that up?

I love the folks at SpindleTap and their special releases are great, but the beers they'll have on tap on any given day are just OK, IMO (except 5% Tint which is a regular now). The pizza they serve is always outstanding.

I'd replace them with Ingenious, keep Brash, and try to do Great Heights. Sigma is good if you want to have one close to downtown.

I didn't realize how far out there SpindleTap is. I'm still thinking I'll hit it because it opens earlier on Friday than the others and I can get there at noon. Ingenious might be hard simply because its even further out and I'm trying to cram a few stops into this one day (Saturday is booked solid with family plans). Brash and Great Heights being near each other could help. I was considering Sigma because of location. Going to the Astros game at 7:00 that night.

It’s like 15 minutes from downtown.

Brash is hotter than shite so be prepared or go at night.

He will never make the game by 7 if he hits copperhead. But he ain't missing much.

Ingenious is further from Houston than Spindletap is.

And I see that's already been mentioned so nvmd, although it's straight interstate driving to both so it's only 15-20 minutes to get to either.

No love for Eureka?

I agree with Spindletap, although B52 would be my #1 choice (though I already know you mentioned you cant get up there). Great Heights Brewing is a solid, newer one and while you're there, may as well head over to Petrol Station.

Eureka is fun for trivia or on a Saturday afternoon
Greater Heights has the better beer

I'll be in Houston Thursday - Friday and on Friday I plan on hitting up B-52, then making my way down to Ingenious and Spindletap as they seem pretty close to each other, then going to Brash followed by the Petrol Station.

I'm not going to the game on Friday but will be at the game on Saturday so I plan on hitting The Conservatory before the game and probably Flying Saucer after the game or I may go to St. Arnold.


Will have to look into Sigma, Copperhead, and Greater Heights.
