Saint Arnold Microbrewery by XenoHumph
Beer lovers, wake up! There is one microbrewery in Houston, making very nice beer (a lager, a wheatbeer, a brown, an amber, and seasonal beers) which can be bought in every store of Houston. There is a tour of the brewery every Saturday at 1 pm and it includes free beer!Here is what you do if you are an aficionado of St Arnold beer.
Show up shortly before 1 pm on Saturday, without forgetting the glasses you bought during your last visit, and all the St Arnold 6-pack carriers of the beer you drank since then.
Enter the brewery at 1 pm and grab as many tockens as you can (these are for the free beer, you'll probably get 4 per person).
Listen to the talk of the brew master (he is really funny and interesting).
Head for the bar and drink. If you have your own glass you will get more beer, and your carrriers can be exchanged for St Arnold souvenirs (10 for a pint glass, 20 for a pilsner glass, aso...).
If you are lucky, there will not be a very bad local rock band playing much too loudly.
Directions:
St Arnold brewery is located Northwest of Houston, just outside 610 loop in a warehouse in an industrial park.
From West 610 Loop:
Exit 290 at Antoine/34th Street. Make a U-turn under the freeway and take the feeder road southeast for 1/4 mile. Then turn right on Mitchelldale. Take the second left onto Fairway Park Drive. The Brewery is 150 yards down Fairway Park Drive on the left.
