About this tour
The Heights and the districts just south of it hold some of Houston's most storied craft-beer real estate — from the state's oldest surviving craft brewery to warehouse taprooms and a modern icehouse in a converted gas station. This driving tour connects them into an afternoon of tastings, starting at the granddaddy of Houston beer and ending with a cocktail on a Heights patio. Because these spots are spread across a few neighborhoods, plan to drive between them — and, since this is a beer tour, line up a designated driver or a rideshare. Sip flights rather than pints so you can taste your way across the map. Each stop has its own personality, from cavernous beer hall to backyard-style beer garden.
