Houston Beer

by Ronnie Crocker
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
From the early days, and long before Americans had ever heard the term �craft beer,� settlers in the Bayou City excelled in the art of ales, stouts and lagers. In 1913, it was a Houston brewery that claimed the distinction of �the world�s finest bottled beer� after winning an international competition in Belgium. The unfortunate rise of Prohibition put the industry on hold, but recent years have seen a strong resurgence. At the beginning of 2008, Saint Arnold Brewing Company was the only craft brewery in Houston. Just a few years later, there are five and counting within an hour�s drive of downtown. Journalist and �Beer, TX� blogger Ronnie Crocker chronicles Houston�s long and surprising history of brewing, tracing everything from the grand legacy of Anheuser-Busch to the up-and-coming craft beer makers and those brewing it right at home.
