21 Essential Breweries in Houston

"With tasty varieties like the 1836 copper ale and the Crush City IPA, Buffalo Bayou Brewing has long been a favorite for craft beer. But its recent move to a mammoth three-story space in Sawyer Yards has upped its appeal with breathtaking Downtown views and a Houston-inspired menu to match. Indulge in the city’s version of fall with a seasonal beer like the Gingerbread stout and pair with a hearty smokehaus burger, made with 44 Farms Angus beef that’s topped with white cheddar, crispy fried onions, and Figaro barbecue sauce." - Sean Hekmat, Brittany Britto Garley, Megha McSwain
