Today was sad, because Houston Beer Week is now over, but happy, because it was a bad-ass time. I offered my excellent beer pouring skills to Cathy Clark over at Live It Big for her first Monsters Of Beer Festival. It was all Texas Breweries pouring two to three beers a piece, with silent auctions […]

Lagunitas night at Petrol Station: Friday night at Petrol Station, a Lagunitas brewery rep was there (for a Lagunitas party, YEAH!) and brought with him some cool brews. I have already tried the Censored (Kronik) at the Beer festival in Galveston, but this was a cask of it so, obviously, I had to try it. I […]

So after a long work week, the Wise’s, another couple, and myself met downtown at a swanky little place called Hearsay Gastro Lounge, I had heard good things but never been. The first thing I noticed was an ornate, oversized chandelier, so pretty. Anyway the important stuff, the food and the drank. We started with […]

I recently bought my ticket to Saint Arnold‘s Oktoberfest bash at the Brewery for Saturday October 2nd, which includes food, beer (DUH) and a sweet Oktoberfest stein. I will […]

So instead of driving my ass in to downtown for Flying Saucer’s brewnite- I had a girl date with my boo Christine at the new(ish) Yardhouse in the cool new CityCentre at Beltway 8 and Memorial area. I have been to a Yardhouse in Long Beach (LBC!) back when I watched the Dynamo suffer a […]

So Sundays are usually pretty lazy for me, I catch up on laundry and watch trashy TV, but yesterday, I was invited to watch my friends brew some beer (hopefully it’s delicious! it smelled so good) and since I have never seen the home brew process, I couldn’t say no! While there I was treated […]

It’s game day for the Houston Dynamo and Labor Day weekend, so drinking is abound, not that its much different from any other weekend, nonetheless I am trying a new beer, the New Belgium fall seasonal, Hoptober. This fall seasonal is brewed with five hops: Centennial, Cascade, Sterling, Willamette, and Glacier. “Pale and wheat malt […]
