Brewery #383 We came here on a spring like January day. It was chilly but they had a nice big firepit going out front that made it a perfect sweater weather beer drinking experience. B-52 also brews 11 Below's beers so they have both available in the tap room. I got my standard flight which consisted of a stout, 2 IPA's and a doppelbock. All of them were pretty good but the doppelbock was phenomenal. The best I have ever had for that style. It was a little chocolately, malty, and sweet. They had a pizza kitchen onsite that looked tasty. The outdoor sitting area is very nice, lots of trees so it feels like you are at a campsite. They also have an indoor sitting area but it's not much on atmosphere. read more

Nut Allergy friendly: I don't think any of their food items use any nuts! B-52 is located in what feels like the clearing of a huge forest. There is considerable outdoor space with picnic tables, four different event spaces, a bar room, and a light kitchen. We took over some picnic tables with a large group. Food-wise, it took a VERY long time to get our pizzas on a Saturday night. I think nearly an hour to get two pizzas. They were very, very burned when we got them. We ordered a prosciutto honey pizza (The Boss) and some kind of mushroom sausage pizza (Portobelly). We all preferred the prosciutto honey (The Boss), but none of us ate the crusts. It seems like a great spot to hang out with friends and grab a beer, but definitely order your food far ahead of time if you plan on getting any from their kitchen. read more

My German friend: beer is only ok. He said for a good german beer go to Fass in Conroe. The place itself is nice (looks like a legit beer garden). Free cat therapy: the resident cat is very friendly. Stuff was friendly too. Tips: bring a bug spray. The place is located in the middle of the forest area. They had a few sprays available for visitors when we came there. 2. Good place for a BIG company, people bring dogs and kids. Outdoor space with picnic tables is very big. 3. If you are a lady: choose a closed-toe shoes with a stable heel. Outdoor area is a mix of sand and leaves. Leave stilettos at home. read more

Very cool vibe. Good selection of beers but no food available due to staff shortages. Had to eat elsewhere. Staff was friendly and attentive. Thank you read more

Ambiance pretty much doesn't match advertising. No firepit when we went, no music at all not even on the speakers. There's no vibe it's just super quiet and well boring! They also didn't have any pizza...their mozzarella as well sucked because it's so expensive for Literal deep fried hot pocket for 9 bucks. Overall I expected a better ambiance but, they service is amazing. read more

They have a good beer selection. I had two good IPA's here, and enjoyed the ambiance. There is a nice, large, outdoor area for hanging out, and it is great for kids. Plenty of tables and lots of space. I'm always looking for places that have the uncommon combination of both having decent beer and being kid-friendly. The food truck on the day we came was Korean fusion, which was not bad. I don't live in the area, but if I did, this would probably be a regular hangout for us. read more

Consistently great staff. The beer selection is fabulous. Pizza is pretty good. Love how welcoming they are to everyone. Love the atmosphere and the cats in the yard. Will come back and recommend to o others! read more

They have a large selection of beer. They also have some food- mainly pizzas with a few apps the food was great. We tried the Canadian pizza and spinach artichoke dip. Both were good and I would try it again. They have a huge amount of sours and not as many traditional beer selections. If you like lots of flavors you are in the right place. If you like more traditional style beer this might not be your best option. Overall a good experience and a great venue. read more

Ambiance: Large brewery with a giant outdoor patio area consisting of multiple picnic tables and high tops perfect for birthdays, bringing the dog, or hanging out with a large group. Onsite parking available. Several beer options. Roaming cats available to pet! I did not try their food options but their beers hit the spot. Given the "forest" vibes of the outdoor area, I would recommend bug spray if you plan to sit outdoors. read more

Cool location, huge outdoor patio tons of space. The beer might be the worst in the country. The sours were terrible, like 15 years ago just tyring out this sytle bad. The had no ipas bec they ran out, hilarous. They had a stout which they claimed to not sour, which was, total mess. read more

Today was my very first time at B52. The atmosphere was incredible and the staff even better. Jenn was a complete doll. She was extremely informative in regard to all beers and was easy to talk to. Every style of beer we tried was phenomenal. Highly recommend coming here! read more

My husband I have been here twice now with other family members. The outdoor area is mostly shaded by beautiful trees with many picnic benches. Dogs are welcome, both inside and outside. The pizza choices have been great both visits. Though they do occasionally have food trucks. The beers are good, and the service is fast. Glad we found this place! read more

Overall: Date night, girls night, or any reason worthy. Parking: Owned lot that is covered in random trees. They probably have more parking elsewhere but word to the wise, don't bring a fancy or low rider car here. Service: such kindness and friendliness with the staff. Drinks: huge selection of 20 plus beers, something for everyone from sours to stouts. Love they aren't just about the IPA. Atmosphere: cool but upscale. Outside is more chill, inside is surrounded in barrels and assorted tables. Great place to do board games and hang out all day. Value: Beers are around 6.50 each, I'd love if it was a touch lower but can't complain and less of a chance of young ones coming for cheap beer and getting wasted and being silly. Notes: Dog (leashed) and family friendly. read more

Usually have a great time here. Love the different events and trivia is the best! St. Patrick's Day was a bit of a mess though. We will be back as they are our local go-to, but hopefully next time will be up to their usual standards. read more

B-52 Brewing Co - Succulent Beer Night - Breweries Near Me - Conroe, Texas

I'll start with the positive. I had a pint of the Oak Lagered Vienna Lager for $6. It had a very interesting taste to it, but it wasn't as oaky tasting as I thought it would be - and I'm glad. It's aged in Pinot Noir barrels for 3 months, and it gave it a really good taste. I also had a pint of the B52 Pils for $4, and it was nothing to brag about - tasted like any ole pilsner to me. Food truck on site PLENTY of space and seating outside, and it's placed in the middle of a wooded area surrounded by beautiful pine trees. There's also plenty of room outside for games, such as tether ball, an outdoor ping pong cornhole, giant Jenga and giant Connect 4. They have 3 retro video arcade games inside setup for free play (Donkey Kong, Mortal Kombat, and an Ice Hockey video game called Hit the Ice)! It's kid, pet, and hipster friendly Now for the downside: We *literally* stood in the beer line for 15 minutes - see pix - I timed it when I saw the size of the line. When I finally got to the counter and ordered, the tap master asked if I wanted to leave my tab open and I thought to myself, "Hell no! There's no way I'm standing in this line again." I was there for 45 more minutes nursing my beer, and when I left, the line was just as bad as when I got there. They allow smoking on the patio and they keep the garage doors open, so the cigarette smell drifts inside and you have to deal with that smell. Although they have a nice setup, I won't return. The beer was just "OK", but the 15 minute wait is really what made my mind up. read more

Sour beer?! I've never tried it before and this place was the perfect place to have my first experience. There's a sampling option, and you can try various beers. Loved the experience and the atmosphere. Huge seating inside and outside... and very spacious. Highly recommended and would try again! read more

B-52 is a great place to grab a beer and hang out. I love that there is plenty of outdoor seating and dogs are always welcome. Their Pilsner mixed with the house made lemonade was so so good. I am not a beer drinker but this drink had me coming back for more. I also enjoyed their blueberry crumble sour. read more

This was my first time out here. A guy friend once told me about this place last year since I'm a fan of sours. Dog friendly, people friendly, cheap beer, free wifi, and the woods. What more do you need? I came here for a dog 1/2 birthday party. Not just any dog, but my former Texas Children's coworker's dog who suffers from cancer and a form of ALS. :( She wanted to celebrate, and we all came with our fur babies. It was a lovely, fun day. That Saturday happened to be not too busy. Maybe because it coincided with White Linen Night in The Heights. I went last year, so I wanted to try something new. The ground is sandy (your shoes and toes get dusty), and there are picnic tables spread throughout. You can enjoy your beer and food indoor in the nice A/C or outdoor. There's one food truck with Texas/Louisiana fusion. It gets hot in this summer heat, but there are plenty of trees for shade. For entertainment, there's a giant Connect 4 and corn hole. This place is great for parties. The outdoor bar is covered, has picnic table seating, and flat screen TVs to catch the game. The parking is a smaller, winding version similar to RenFest. The entrance and exit are the same, so be careful. The beer is great. I tried the breakfast stout, which is similar to an oatmeal latte, pineapple watermelon, which tasted more like watermelon, and a cherry sour. I wanted to try the rainbow sour belt, but the inside bar didn't have it ready. It's one of the 'After the Internet' beers with CBD. They will tell you. I wanted to try it for the flavor, not necessarily the CBD, but I wouldn't have minded. My friend and I took an uber anyway! Lol. Leave your tab open. Get a flight, or keep coming back to try more flavors. Depending on your ounces, the price can range from $2 to 8. I tried 3 flavors, and it only cost me $10.50. I highly recommend this brewery. Come check it out for yourself! read more

Great concept, beautiful outdoor atmosphere, extremely clean. They appear to be family oriented. It was pretty hot in the barrel room. It was not packed and not much waiting in line really, staff could have been more helpful with selections. ( she literally said I have no way of knowing, since I don't know what you like to my companion) First place I have ever been for a brewery that didn't offer small taste before buying. read more

Overall, not coming back . The husband and I are lucky if we get a date night once very few months. We came here and the tap tender that I ordered from may have been one of the rudest service experiences I've ever had. My hubs and I have both worked the service industry, so we know the trials and tribulations of it. I don't recall EVER being short, crappy, or treating a paying customer like they were inconveniencing me, which is what happened while we were here. Simply ordered some beers and our lady tap tender was full on rude. RUDE. The male tap tender later said to me "everyone is allowed to have a bad day" when I was paying my tab because he was standing there when she served us. I mean sure, everyone is allowed a bad day, but damn, if you are working a business for someone else and your attitude is affecting the bottom line like that... whoa. It was about 830 on a Saturday when we ordered and went outside. At 9, all the lights around us started getting shut off and another person came and started collecting our unfinished drinks saying "just so you know, we close in an hour". Okie dokie. Sounds like they wanted us to leave. So I got lids for the three pizzas we bought, and instead of buying more beer, we left with our pizza and grabbed some cans to take home to make the best of our rare date night. So we won't be back. read more

B-52 Brewing Co - Overall.. won't be back. - Breweries Near Me - Conroe, Texas

Well, shave my back and call me an elf. This joint was amazing in every sense, by far my favourite of the local breweries outfitted with a taproom. Their motto is "too good to ignore" and I can definitely get behind that mood. B-52 started in this space in 2014 and they quickly picked up a number of well deserved industry accolades that built on the original success that took a small number of kegs in the Daniels' garage into this, a wooded paradise of beer that the Dalish elves and the dwarves of Orzammar could both enjoy, not just Oghren who is 2019's true spirit animal for our times. Chad Daniel (one of the cofounders along with Brent Daniel) had an untimely death in a motorcycle accident over the winter holidays 2017 and B-52 started January 2018 out on a sad note. The team pushed forward in his memory. So what you see these days is intentional and the result of the B-52 team pushing forward through adversity. My dad died at the same time as Chad, the two are unrelated in everything but time, but to see B-52 doing well makes me feel good about honoring the legacy of another family that went through a lot of the same difficult things we did at the same time dealing with a sudden unexpected death. The parking lot is set among the woods so you get that real country flavour like we're out here moonshining in an episode of The Dukes of Hazzard or down along Copperhead Road with John Lee Pettimore. There are open air tables near the outdoor sports games, there is an outdoor bar with a top covering that really seemed to cater to people there to watch sportsball, and then the actual taproom inside the main building which was respectfully quiet for conversation save for appropriately low-volume classic 80s and 90s (original Alice in Chains, early AC/DC, Stone Temple Pilots, givin' me the vapours of my youth) background rock which are always a nice mood elevator that pair well with a high ABV beer in my hand and a Harley jacket draped around me. The taproom is ringed by a small patio so you can be taproom adjacent but still outside if that is your speed to be in nature a bit, but just a bit. The taproom bartender was supes nice and chatted about the beer before we finally made the daydrinking magic happen. I like how they do flights here where you write it down on a slip so there are zero mistakes possible and then you get a nice little souvenir or whatever if you are here making a nice memory with the Lieutenant or another drinking companion memefriend you cherish. Things you need to know: their website is great, look at it before coming. There is a different menu for the outdoor patio bar vs the indoor taproom. They also seem to rotate the beers very often so availability may get you one day but not another. At least they have a big refrigerator of cans and bottles in the indoor taproom so if it is not on tap and it is a rare one, they probably will have it available in bottle or can. If there could be any complaint about a fabulous day out at B-52 it was that I was told there were stray cats here and I wanted to pet a nice cat, and I did not see any stray cats here and did not get to pet a nice cat. However on the flip side there was a great amount of uncertainty whether there were food trucks or not and I can report back that there was a food truck parked just outside the outdoor bar so you could just follow your nose. So no cats to pet, but food that pairs well with beer. I still want to pet a cat though, I really must insist upon a cat to pet. But I had my fill of the good stuff which prominently featured imperial stouts Stratofortress at 14.2% and Double Stargazer at 12.8% ABVs. So I will forgive them their lack of cats situation as long as they promise to work on that for next time and keep the delightful suds coming north of 10%. Excellent family business, outstanding location set among the serene trees, friendly service, beautiful beers inside, and a food truck outside for your convenience too. Where's the lie? Five yelp stars, but zero meows. read more

This is literally the coolest brewery I've ever been to in my life. It's out in the middle of the woods with TONS of seating. They had tons of shade because trees are EVERYWHERE!they had SO many beers on tap that you could literally be there all day trying beer! Everyone who works there is beyond friendly, and more than happy to chit chat with you about all the beer. Even the bathrooms are excellent! Super clean and super nice, it what you would expect from a brewery! I can't recommend this place enough if you're in the area!!!! read more

My boyfriend's mom wanted to visit a brewery on our Conroe trip so we decided on B-52 because of its great reviews. And because it was the only one open on Sunday. 5 stars for the atmosphere because both the interior and exterior were great. There's an outdoors bar with tables and games like giant Jenga and Corn Hole. We opted for the indoors bar which had barrels along the opposite walls - it's super cool and great for pictures. We got 3 flights amongst 5 people because we wanted to try a bit of everything before we order a bigger glass for ourselves. Unfortunately, the amazement died down there. My boyfriend and I really wanted to love the fruity selections but all it did was disappoint. None of his family members liked the beers as well. We ended up competing to down the beers so that we could get it over with. The prices were pretty decent. We got the flights so each flavor was charged based on the price for a 4 oz. They range from $2-$4 I think. The little glass is SO CUTE by the way! I do believe that everyone's taste is different, so what's bad to us could be fantastic to others. It just wasn't our taste or style of beer. The place is great for gatherings or if you just wanna chill with your friends and family. read more

On Saturday, a group of us went over to B-52 Brewing Co. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the great weather & the great beer. Considering the crowds & the main tap room being shut off for a private event the bartenders in the original tap bar did a great job. The only negative is the loud noise from all the generators being used by the many food stalls. There were generators placed so near the picnic tables it was impossible to sit at a table & hear each other. Luckily we were able to get a table a distance away but the background generator noise was annoying. The number of food & flea market-type stalls at the entrance was overwhelming. All this bedlam dampens the beer garden ambiance. I went ahead and gave my review 4 stars but B52 needs to manage the vendors better. read more

Fun place for all. Good beer and great service. Always a good selection of food vendors.

How anyone could give this place less than 5 stars baffles me! It's only downside is that it's not closer to my house. Their beers are creative & delicious, their outdoor seating is abundant & beautiful (and well spaced), I can bring my dog, the people are cool, and the food truck is tasty stuff. What more could you ask for?! read more

This brewery ranks in my top five in terms of location, set up, beer quality and beer variety. I was very impressed. When you pull up, it feels like you're going camping. Trees everywhere, flags showing where to park, rustic exterior. There's a ton of outdoor seating, a fire pit, and an outdoor bar with tons of taps. Inside, there's more seating, another bar with additional beers on tap, swag area, and their cold storage to buy beer to go. They also seem to have food trucks regularly, which is nice because there's nothing really around it for food options, it feels so remote. I had decent service, the only weird thing was the bartender made a snarky remark about us being from the Dallas-area, which I thought was odd. Anyway, I am there to drink beer not make friends, so it's not a huge deal, but I thought worth mentioning from a customer service perspective. Absolutely visit B-52 if you are on your way to or from Houston. read more

The parking might be the only bad thing about this place. It's a forest with trees and dirt everywhere. No lines and no assigned parking. Watch out for other automobiles and the trees. If it's wet outside, you're going to get mud and in your car. Now on to the good part! Hugh "parking lot", Hugh seating area outside with games, and a deck with seating. Inside with a/c, seating, and free video games. There are two sets of bathrooms both outside but one is connected to the building and the other one is like around and at another building. The TVs inside show what beers they have, keep looking because they change to show more beers. Super friend staff, the people who go here are also great, and we spent 4 + hours here. read more

I spent a day in Conroe and part of the agenda was visiting B-52 Brewing Co. While I wasn't familiar with this brewery, I'm a big fan of breweries in general so I was pumped to check it out. They have a large gravel parking lot surrounded by trees which reminds me of the parking at Ren Fest. We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. The first thing that stood out was the size of this brewery. They have a large patio with picnic-style seating and games like giant Jenga and cornhole. They also had a food truck while I was there. I'm not sure if they cycle through food trucks or if they have some usual suspects but it was a Mexican/Asian fusion one while I was there. Since it was cold, we stuck around inside for the most part. While they have a good amount of seating, it was almost full while we were there. The interior is clean and they had a couple of TVs showing the NFL playoffs. Probably my favorite part? They have a large selection of brews. We're talking 30+. I've been to a lot of breweries that have less than 10 so it was nice to check one out with so many options. read more

Great beer! Love the location and ambience. We'll be back for sure. ... bring bug spray during the summer!

Dang, this place has some strong beer. While I was on vacation in Lake Conroe, my brother mentioned this place. I love the atmosphere (there's a geocache nearby if you're into that) and the culture is super laid back. The music was great, the crowd was diverse, and the bartender was super patient and nice. The craft menu is kind of overwhelming but I was able to navigate it with some help. Definitely check this brewery out! read more

Some of the beers were ok. Expensive. $20 for one bottled beer and two small tasters. And the staff sucks. One short, short blonde hair girl needs a new job she was so rude and not friendly. Went up to bar she looked at me disgusted and said I didn't wave you up. Sorry I didn't see a sign saying you wave someone to bar to order. When buying a can to take home I tasted another one I thought would be similar to see if maybe a can of that would be better. She proceeded to give me more attitude when I had a disliked reaction to the acai beer. She told me "fyi no bartenders or places want to hear the beer is bad". K well fyi brewers want to know people's opinions to gage what to possibly change to make it better if needed. And fyi you're hurting the business cause no one wants to return to poor attitude service. Big outdoor space which is nice when it's not 100 degrees. Tried the breakfast stout in bottle cause it's summer and none on tap which was a decent brandywine and then the two tasters were cotton candy which surprisingly was refreshing and good and super smoothie which was too sweet and reminiscent of a sweet tart. read more

It's a great place. Beer is super good. They also have food trucks and events. They have an AC room to hide from the heat

My girlfriend and I took a weekend trip up to Lake Conroe and decided to stop here a B-52 in the afternoon for a lunch break after a long day. There is plenty of ourdoor seating and they've got a lovely vibe going on here -- string lights turn on when it gets dark, corn hole, etc. Great place for family or just to chill with some friends. Got a great selection of craft brews as well! When we came, there were also two food trucks on premise. read more

So what to say about B52.... this is a brewery where dreams come true! This place has a great indoor room. Outside a huge fire pit, connect four, ping pong tables. You can bring your pets, and your kids. Now let's get real about something. This is not the place to go if you like Bud light or Miller, cause you won't find it here. What you will find is some crazy good IPAs and stouts, sours, and BA goodies. They are constantly updating and getting new beers out in their taproom. Every Wednesday is a new "one off keg" so make sure you get on their email list, or check Instagram or their untappd. Well worth the drive to Conroe for sure! read more

amazing service, excellent beer, my only qualm is the amount of children running around seemingly unattended wreaking havoc. It's difficult to relax and have a good time with screaming kids running everywhere): it's not fair to the guests and it's certainly not fair to the staff (they're beertenders, not babysitters) other than that, i love b52 and it will always be my top local brewery!! read more

i really love this outdoor area. it's out in a heavily wooded area with cute string lights hung around the picnic tables. and they have plenty of tables to sit at! they have a couple food trucks outside, an outdoor bar and an indoor bar. they have a huge selection of canned beers as well. they are pretty heavy on the sours but have an okay selection of other brews. it's a cool spot if you are ever in the area, just gotta be a sour lover. read more
