Description

From the early days, and long before Americans had ever heard the term “craft beer,” settlers within the Bayou City excelled within the art of ales, stouts and lagers. In 1913, it was once a Houston brewery that claimed the distinction of “the world’s finest bottled beer” after winning an international competition in Belgium. The unlucky upward thrust of Prohibition put the industry on hold, but latest years have seen a strong resurgence. At the start of 2008, Saint Arnold Brewing Company was once the one craft brewery in Houston. Only some years later, there are five and counting within an hour’s drive of downtown. Journalist and “Beer, TX” blogger Ronnie Crocker chronicles Houston’s long and surprising history of brewing, tracing the whole thing from the grand legacy of Anheuser-Busch to the up-and-coming craft beer makers and the ones brewing it right at home.
