My craft beer preference aren't the norm(stouts and porters) so it's easy for me to avoid basic beers. I think Brash has distinguished themselves as the Houston brewery for stouts. I'm ok with the number of breweries, we haven't reached Portland levels.

I've been keeping my eye on the Rubicon Realty page, and it was recently updated with this nugget: "Rubicon continues to work on the Phase IV development at The Crossing at Telfair. The recent execution of a ground Lease with Chuy's Mexican Restaurant has created a buzz in the market recognizing The Crossing at Telfair as one of the premier developments in the greater Houston area." Link: http://rubiconrealty.com/development Chuy's was also discussed during a December meeting of Sugar Land's Planning & Zoning Commission. Sounds like a sticking point was a palapa roof and a neon sign. Link: http://www.sugarlandtx.gov/city_hall/city_secretary/agendas/FY2013/121112pz/4a.pdf Does anybody have any additional info on this? Does "execution of a ground lease" make it a done deal?

Southern Star and Texas beers (Shiner, Oasis).

We'll have to wait until next year to try the beers http://swamplot.com/east-downtowns-8th-wonder-of-the-craft-brewing-world/2011-07-28/

Karbach released their latest Bourbon Barreled Hellfighter (#3). Its available at HEB if you can find it. I also saw it at Kroger on Studemont which has a very good beer department. I haven't tried it yet, sitting in my fridge waiting for the right night. But wanted to put it out there since it is a limited release.

Spindletap Brewery. Just had their grand opening.

New brewery in Midtown - not sure where though http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2015/10/exclusivenew-microbrewery-ready-to-open-in-midtown.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+bizj_houston+%28Houston+Business+Journal%29

I just read on Bayou City History that Houston Arts and Media is having a fundraiser at the St. Arnold's Brewery this Thursday night. Houston Arts and Media is involved in a number of local history projects, including: - A documentary film about the history of stand-up comedy in Houston - A series of books about the history of different Houston neighborhoods - A photographic collection of historic Houston school buildings - A documentary and book about "Houston's historic beer joints and saloons" - A book about the history of Frostown - A collection of oral histories recorded from long-time Houstonians The fundraiser will feature a silent auction, plus (from their website): "There will be live music, food, and, of course, complimentary St. Arnold beer. We will be displaying a new slideshow montage of collected interviews and photographs, and Donna Kacmar, a UH Architecture professor, will be displaying some of the results of her students' work on the architectural history of Houston's Ice Houses, Burger Joints and Taco Stands, a project that aligns with our pending documentary History of Houston Beer Joints and Saloons." Tickets at the door are $20 - but it sounds like a good cause, and the beer is free. The event is from 6-9, and the brewery is here.

i heard something this morning on the radio about a party at the brewery on i-10, on saturday 10/14 from 2pm-10pm. supposed to have bands, tours, food, clydesdales, animals from busch gardens, and probably some beer. anyone hear about this? couldn't find anything online.
