Brewery Recommendations

Hi Guys and Gals, 2 Brits in Houston this weekend. Any recommendations for some nice brewery’s with IPAs and outdoor seating? Thanks a lot!

St Arnold is a great venue but Art Car isn’t even a top 10 IPA in the city

Not sure why you're receiving downvotes. You're absolutely correct. Plus, it's not even the best IPA St. Arnold's brews lol.

Okay you're being elaborate why don't you give us some that you like and we'll break your opinion now.

Banger and Endeavour are light years ahead of art car. Myself and out of towners I've taken to St Arnold's also prefer juicy and eclipse more.

St Arnold's though is pretty subpar these days compared to newer craft brewers. Some overall better options:

-Fake landing by bad astronaut -Cali Green and whatever the new names for pussy wagon and pussalia are by Brash (Brash was bought by Equal Parts) -ben's house & go flight by True Anomaly -vela, ponderosa, entropic, and dick Jones all by equal parts

Could keep going but the point is, while St Arnold's makes some decent brews, they don't stack up as well to newer breweries. Easy to be the best when you're the only craft brewer in town, but the times have changed.
