The Houston brewery, which will open in fall 2019, will only make Urban South beer to sell onsite. A canning line, however, will let customers take home brews. Urban South does not plan to distribute its beer to stores or other bars in Texas.

The 11,000-square-foot brewery, which includes a 3,500-square-foot beer garden, will be located in Houston’s new Sawyer Yards development in the Loop. In New Orleans, Urban South has a 30-barrel brewing system on Tchoupitoulas Street. The Houston brewery will have a 10-barrel system.

The beers in Houston will be more challenging and experimental, closer to what Urban South sells now at the brewery than the more crowd pleasing beers it distributes to retailers

Pretty good news for Houston area. This, coupled with Andrew’s continued talks with Fort Bend County officials about relocating Parish is all great stuff for Houston beer drinkers.

Man, the Heights area is completely stacked with good beer. Eureka Heights is there, Buffalo Bayou's new facility and now Urban South in the Sawyer Yards. A couple of smaller breweries too.

Great Heights makes the best beer in the Heights but doesn’t have the atmosphere or stuff going on that Eureka does

Never been impressed with Buffalo Bayou

I’ll say that I’m digging that Eureka Heights Minibawce these days. They’ve dialed that one in, and it’s quite awesome.

I'm a fan of More Cowbell. Solid DIPA. I dont really drink anything else from them, so will take your word for it.

Mini Boss and Business Time are both damn good, IMO. Mini Boss is probably my favorite every day beer in town right now. Or, Mini Bauwsce, as Dozer would have me say.

Mini Boss is pretty good. Looking forward to being able to walk or bike there and the Boot, Cedar Creek, etc very soon.

Looking forward to it. They’ve got a chance to crack into the Top 5 breweries in the Houston area, though it won’t be easy.

Since I quit drinking beer a year or so ago I’ve not been keeping up. Is he considering moving his complete operation? I know this has been “threatened” before just curious how realistic this might be.

I get the feeling that the whole "i'm moving my brewery" talks was in response to criticism of his beer by a certain facebook group and on here. Which is pretty petty, but it is Parish.

However, if it's a pure business decision, hard to find a more business friendly state than Texas.

Fort Bend County officials have been in talks with Andrew offering Parish a handsome welcome to the Houston burbs.

However, part of the deal is he can’t fill the market with a bunch of 3% ABV sweet tart wine coolers, and when he claims to brew a Triple IPA, it must be a real double digit ABV triple.

In the end, he should comply, and either Sugar Land or Sienna Plantation residents will have Parish Brewing right around the corner.

Paw paw will not be happy about this news. Surely it will create quality control issues in his humble opinion
