10 Best Breweries in Kingwood

"In the afternoon, head to one of Houston’s local breweries – 8th Wonder and Saint Arnold’s are two of the best around. Hang out in the beer hall or patio and catch up with some friends. If you’re looking for a larger variety of beverages, check out Axelrad, a beer garden in Midtown with hammocks, dog friends, and a local food truck or two. No weekend in Houston is complete without a visit to Rice University, so after having your fill, (responsibly) make your way there for a sunset light show spectacle at the Turrell Skyspace."

"2pm: St Arnolds Brewery For Lunch Saint Arnold's Brewery is named after Saint Arnold, the patron saint of beer. It is said that he would warn people off drinking water and instead encouraged them to drink beer instead. Saint Arnold's is Texas's oldest brewery and it is designed like a German beer hall."

"One of the largest craft beer breweries in the U.S. is right here in Houston!. Have a short tour, hang out in their beer garden with your dog, or play lawn games. Their pub grub is also great and be sure to order one of their root beers, made right on site."

"2032 Karbach Street This brewery doesn't just boast amazing craft beer, but also has its own restaurant on site that's touted as having dynamic, world-class cuisine that pairs perfectly with the beer selection on tap. Combine this with a patio that allows space for the kids to be, well, kids and you have a weekend destination that can't be beat."

"This German-styled brewery might make you forget you’re in Houston. With a spacious biergarten and restaurant, Karbach is worth a try. While they normally offer tours of the brewery, those are suspended until next Spring."

"If you’re looking for a brewery with their own restaurant and fine cuisine, this is the spot for you. Their enormous patio has plenty of seating. They also offer brunch!"

"It’s been boomtown ever since SpindleTap first opened its doors at the turn of 2015. Paying homage to Texas’ gusher age, the spirit at this liquid gold purveyor is full-on Texas. The brewery devotes an entire selection of suds to Haze, with hazy IPAs and DIPAs (that’s double the hops) ranging from the dank pine & citrus-kissed Juiceton to the tropical Houston Haze, hit with notes of guava, pineapple, and grapefruit."

"While SpindleTap is known for its IPAs, this brewery offers a diverse lineup. They’re also voted as one of the top-rated breweries in Texas. If you can’t make it to their location, you’re likely to find them in a local grocery store."

"Spindletap is known for its extensive line of cloudy, unfiltered IPAs, like the Houston Haze. For non hop-heads, there’s also Honey Hole, an award-winning honey ale, and Black Gold, a coffee imperial stout."

"Core beers: Viking Blonde, Watchtower Wit, Impaler Pale Ale, Big Hefe, Battering Ram Smash’d IPA, Fortbrau Pilsner. Seasonal beers: Shadow Porter, Harvest Amber Ale, The Deuce. Noteworthy: Fortress Beerworks serves crawfish on the weekends throughout the season."

"My favorite is Town and City: $5.00 gets you an amazingly huge pretzel, $9.00 for Seoul Burger and tots, $14.00 gets you a whole pitcher of their beer (they have smaller cheaper options as well). Careful of going on a Sunday, they get popular on the weekends and tend to run out of beer/food options.". Submitted by marshamaec"

"Eureka Heights is named after the fault line that lies beneath the brewery, and its signature beer, Buckle Bunny Cream Ale, is named after a moniker given to rodeo groupies.
