"A playful, experimental brewery known for inventive and often whimsical beers — from pumpkin stouts and cake ales to a wide array of sour fruit flavors — with a reputation for quirky staples like a sour pickle beer and numerous seasonal releases. The creative approach and frequent new brews make it a fun stop for adventurous beer drinkers." - Amanda Ogle Amanda Ogle Amanda Ogle is a writer and editor who specializes in travel, food and drink, sustainability, and general lifestyle topics.

"Martin House is not your typical brewery. If you’re willing to make the trek to Fort Worth, you have to try some of their unconventional flavors. Notable flavors include the Chex Mix brew, the pizza brew, the buffalo wing brew, and, if you want to kick it up a notch, the sour pickle brew." - Courtney E. Smith, Alex Gonzalez

"This fourth-year release from Fort Worth’s Martin House, De Nada (6.7% agave and guava sour), is heavy on guava with agave sweetness showing up at the end after an initial salty-and-sour hit, making it ideal for the pool and consistent with Martin House’s willingness to experiment—after all, the brewery has produced everything from a buffalo wing–flavored sour to a Scott Stapp–inspired IPA." - Eater

"I noted that Fort Worth’s Martin House Brewing Company released its Sour Pickle Beer in August 2019 to great fanfare; what began as a limited offering proved so popular that it’s now made year-round and distributed across Texas, and the brew is made with Best Maid pickle juice. When reached for comment, Martin House marketing director Shugg Cole said, “I’ve never heard of them,” though New Braunfels’ Kelly Meyer says he reached out to Martin House brewmaster Cody Martin multiple times without response; some Martin House taproom staff even commented on Meyer’s Instagram post and suggested a collaboration." - Amy McCarthy
