"I learned that Fortress BeerWorks is a forthcoming brewpub at 2606 Spring Cypress Road in Spring that plans to open this fall as the Houston area's 49th brewery. It will occupy a 6,600-square-foot industrial space that's part taproom and part brewery, and because it has the brewpub designation patrons will be able to take beer away in crowlers. Fortress will have a double IPA, blonde ale, witbier and its signature Smash IPA on deck for the opening, with seasonal brews and special releases planned throughout the year. There won't be a kitchen on-site, but the brewpub plans to partner with local food trucks so drinkers have snacks for long days in the taproom. Head brewer and co-owner Dion Billard said they are “beyond excited” to join Houston’s quickly expanding craft beer scene. The venue plans to operate Thursday through Sunday, with hours and an official opening date to be announced." - Alaena Hostetter
