You have options in Houston. Did you know we have over 10 breweries? With such a long list, and more and more popping up, you could stop by a different brewery every day of the week. Or, you can head over to one of our favorites, St. Arnold's for a tour and a sip everyday except Sunday! Also, Karbach and Buffalo Bayou Brewing have cornered their share of the local brewing market recently and it sure is delicious.
Scoop: Houston is now one of the top coffee ports in the world!
You might get the chance to meet one of the head roasters in town who delivers to his closer customers on his bicycle.
