Good Beer... But.....

by xylophactor

I'm a big fan of the beer but not so much of the people making it.. On a few occasions I've stopped in to purchase shirts, glasses etc. and to trade in my six pack holders. I have'nt found the workers there to be particularly friendly... I'd say they need to work on their customer service skills considering I'm drinking their beer and advertising for them by buying their stuff... Beer is supposed to be fun ! All said, The beer is of Good Quality and the Saturday tours Are fun... Maybe I've just dropped in at the wrong times or they're so foucused on making good beer that they can't really be bothered by the odd consumer buying their shwaggg..... Cheers !

• Pros: Good Beer
• Cons: Sautrday tours now cost money... Can be crowded during tour... Tour speech a bit long..

Great Texas beer

by citygirltx

Although the surroundings aren't particularly what come to mind when you think of a quaint microbrewery, once you're inside the tasting room, you know you're in the presence of passionate brewers. For any beer enthusiast, this tour is a must. The only one of its kind in Houston...

• Pros: Friendly, Free beer!! Interesting
• Cons: A little off the beaten path

Tucked away in an industrial area, this cozy brewery offers a lesson in beer-ology and plenty of cold suds.

In Short
No beer lover's visit to Houston is complete without a stop at the Saint Arnold Brewing Company, Houston's first and most successful microbrewery. Named for the patron saint of brewers, Saint Arnold offers public tours of its brewery every Saturday at 1pm, followed by a beer tasting in a small pub set up right on the premises. No reservations are required, and both the tour and the beer tasting are free.
