You just gotta love this place. Where else can you bring the entire family including the pets and have 11 acres of space to spread out. Today there was 2 band and a good truck. But we brought our nibbles as a picnic lunch. It's also perfect for us, close to home. I can get wine when I'm not in the mood for a beer but the beers are absolutely amazing and the staff is like extended family. read more

Back Pew Brewing - The newly remodeled indoors. - Breweries Near Me - Porter, Texas

Brewery #404 Back Pew gave me PTSD upon walking up as I had flashbacks of being dropped off to vacation bible school as a kid. My Southern Baptist upbringing me made me feel like I was about to commit a sin by drinking beer in church. Anyway, I went in wanting to get a flight. No flights. Boooooo! I don't understand breweries that do this. Let us pay to try your beer without us getting schmangeled. So, I just ordered a Hopzuna hazy and went outside. The outdoor area was very large, with tons of picnic tables, lots of greenery, and a playground for the kids. The place was packed with families and kids running around. It's hard for me to rate this place since I wasn't able to try but 1 beer. The 1 beer I had was very good though. The inside kind of creeped me out but the back yard area was chill. Start following Brewery commandment #1 "Thou Shalt offer flights" and I will probably up this review a star. read more

This was our first time here. We came for a retirement party with a large group, and it was quite lively, making it a bit hard to have a conversation inside. We had to ask the bartender to explain their chip payment option, but they were really friendly and offered me a taste of some drinks. Since I'm not a beer drinker, it was a tough choice, but they do have some wine available. There are food trucks on site, although they can be a bit pricey. There's plenty of outdoor space, and parking is on the grass rather than paved. Next time, I think we'd try a few more tasting options before placing an order. read more

Back Pew Brewing - Beer time - Breweries Near Me - Porter, Texas

This was our first time here and we really enjoyed the live music and outdoor seating. Sits on quite a large plot of land. You go through the Sanctuary and you will find actual pews and icons of Saints who have ties with Beer. Games and Activities happening with adults and kids alike. Beer was solid and service was quick. Only drawback for us is my wife and I enjoy sitting at the bar and they have no bar-top seating but I can see that with the crowds they have and two people serving the lines how that may prove difficult. All in all an enjoyable experience and we will definitely return in the future. read more

Great staff, lots to choose from. Inside is a bit understated, but nice holiday decorations. There is also a spacious outdoor patio. They do have rotating events and food vendors. The one that night was a pop-up that was just ok. read more

Have to purchase a glass to have samples. We should have stayed at Deca where you can sample for free before making a commitment.

Everything about this spot was wonderful! They have a token system so getting beers is easy and you don't have to bother with your wallet each time you want another round. They also have several gluten-free brews, which my dad (who has Celiac's) was very happy about! The employees were all super friendly and helpful as well. The only thing I would change was the AC. It was a hot day and the air conditioning just couldn't keep up. But the cold beers and water station helped! read more

Great beer and prices were fantastic! Cool vibe to hang out and enjoy a drink. They had an outside area too!

The ambiance was great, my dog was happy and service was great. They have outside and inside sealing. Family and pet friendly.

Back Pew is an Easy going, dog friendly, casual place to hang out and have a great beer!

Great spot & church concept to check out and hang with friends. Outdoor is nicely kept, is kid & dog friendly. Food truck on site. Friendly staff. Had the Satyr's Swill, 5/5 recommend for a bock lover. CDC guidelines being followed throughout. read more

It's a great place to bring kids with you, they don't have food indoors but they have a good food truck outside. Service is good but they don't offer beer samples which I thought it's a good idea before we make our decision of what to drink, I hate to be stuck drinking something I don't like, the ambiance it's great, I love the fact that you feel you are going to church, they definitely work hard on having a good concept. My favorite beer was Lucy I guess I got lucky likening the beer I choose but i would have appreciated if he could allow me to tasted it first . Overall I would say great for bringing kids or a big group. read more

They have a food truck. It wasn't anything to write home about. They wouldn't let us taste the beer and I wasn't really impressed with the flavors. It does have a huge playground for kids. If you wanna bring your kids. read more

Service was excellent, fast , great suggestions keep the lines moving so no waiting Very hot outside but you can go in and out with no problems Went to a great baby shower it was Great Gods country Just mingling no games eat and mingling oh and drinking Go check the place out kids everywhere Making mud pies and they have a playground for the kids Perfect for a family gathering read more

If you're looking for a family/pet friendly place this is your place! We have been here several times with our toddler. There is a play ground for this kids and a huge amount of running around for the kids. They have different food trucks and sometimes they have fun things going on. We come when they have different vendors set up. The food truck I've ordered from did not disappoint! Which were refill station pizza and Tejas Chocolate bbq. They have a good selection of beers on tap. They always have bands playing and the atmosphere in general is great! read more

Back Pew Brewing - Pew's Backyard! - Breweries Near Me - Porter, Texas

Great beer but this appears to be a day care for parents to drop their kids off and forget about them for hours.

75 miles away and we'll worth it. I've had the brews before but the husband had not. Seven "Saints" beers and four "Sinners" plus two bottled--Canto I and Canto II, available for purchase at $10 each. The husband tried the pilsner and was pleased. I am delighted to find a schwarzbier and black IPA that are fantastic. (Take that, Karbach!) They use a token system with 9 or 16 oz glassware; with and without a coozie. Inner room is VERY loud (and I came with a migraine.). There's 14 acres of land out back. They have a food truck and live music. Children are welcome and they provide a cooler of sodas for $1. Staff is very nice. Bring cash for tips! read more

I'm always down for a new Houston brewery experience, so I was excited to check out Back Pew this past weekend. While my preference is sours, and Back Pew had none on tap, I really enjoyed the variety. Blue Testament (pilsner) and Sweet Salvation (brown ale) did not disappoint, and on the more experimental side, Canto II offered a bourbon-aged porter with liquour. Very impressed with the assortment. As Back Pew's tap room just opened, they're off to a great start, with a wide open lawn and live music. Hopefully as they grow, they can get some additional tables installed and outdoor restrooms added. read more

Great brews and friendly staff! Always a good time out there!! Lots of area for some family fun and good options for good as well

Like this spot on a comfortable (temperature wise) Saturday afternoon to enjoy their brews and live music. You can choose to sit indoors, on their outdoor patio or bring your own chairs to sit in the grass/shade. Food truck(s) are usually on site and pretty good. Keep an eye out for fire ants if you sit in the grassy areas. Have left with a few bites while listening to music. Unfortunately around here they are everywhere so no fault of the establishment and the beer tempers the itch...at least until the next day!! read more

The people and the Brewery were super awesome. Their beers for me are a little different. But the experience was a lot of fun read more

Back Pew Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Porter, Texas

Just ordered my last beer of the night. Ordered the Beer of the Beast. Great beer by the way. Told the server ( the guy with the long gray beard wearing a kilt) that I wanted to go out like I came in. Which meant drinking the beast. His response was " what gay?" Snarky tone. So the beer is great. One of the pourers not so much. read more

Ok... I know Houston aka Brewston has a plethora of craft breweries but Back Pew is AMAZING! Cassie and Randy are the heartbeat of their son's dream and are the warmest, most genuine people you will ever meet. Their beer, atmosphere, and food truck offerings are top notch. They brew onsite, have live music, and support their local community. You will not be disappointed by checking this place out. They represent everything that's right with the craft beer community. We will definitely come back time and time again. read more

Back Pew Brewing - Tanuki 2 - Breweries Near Me - Porter, Texas

Great place to hang out with friends. I went during the Summer Concert Series and the band was entertaining. The beers I tried were Sweet Salvation- light beer despite the color, malty and sweet, Blue Testament- lighter beer, very easy to like, refreshing, Canto2- dark, milky and hints of coconut. All were very good and definitely save Canto2 for last because it's the best!!! It is a little different because you purchase "chips" for your beers but I'll let them explain that. First time there and you're like "huh???" But it works out. A church used to be there then the brewery purchased it hence the name Back Pew. The seating area is called The Sanctuary. It really is great imagination and execution on the founders part. They also have food trucks on the weekends which is nice. read more

So, the owner is connected with Little Harpeth Brewing Co from Nashville. When I first graduated college, I spent a few years in Nashville and they had an exploding brewery scene. Little Harpeth was one of those. My first visit to Back Pew and I could tell I would really like this place. They have two "categories" of beer: Saints and Sinners. The Saint beers are all "low" ABV (everything they had when I was there was over 5.0%) and the Sinner beers were all the higher ABV (the highest being the Act of Balor at 10.2%). You get a pint glass and three tokens (two Saints and one Sinner) for $12. You can also elect to get a 9oz glass with four tokens (two Saints and two Sinners) for $12 instead. Both the tokens and the tap handles are color codded for the Saints and Sinners beers. I got the pint glass because I collect them. I used just two of the three tokens. I tried the Sweet Salvation brown ale and it was solid. Sweet and nutty. I also had the Act of Balor Irish sweet milk stout and it was pretty fantastic. Had a very rich and creamy flavor to it. This place is definitely on to making some killer beers and I really appreciate the holy religion theme since they are set up in the back of an old church. I saved my one token for a return trip even though I live in Houston Heights with plenty of brewery options. They also had a Filipino burger food truck. No A/C, but fans for cooling, grass parking lot, plenty of seating and outdoor area with large Jenga. Not the most fun-packed brewery experience, but these guys are just starting up and they brew fantastic beer. I am excited to visit again and try some more of their stuff. They are only open from noon - 5 pm on Saturdays so plan ahead. read more

We wanted to visit a brewery, and this was going to be the closest one. We were pleasantly surprised by the affordability - $9 got us four tokens, which meant four 9-oz pours. By far the best deal on the table. The brews were in two categories - Saints and Sinners. White tokens are for Saints, the lighter beers, and black ones are for the Sinners, or darker and heavier beers. To my dismay, the heavier beers and the Ryesurrection were all heavy, syrupy, and definitely not what I wanted. The American Pils, however, was pretty good, and I am not one for American pilsners. It might have been the heat, but I don't know why the other three beers I had were just not doing it for us. I think the consensus was, "Bad Mouth Feel," which translates to heavy, sticky, and not as carbonated. There is a Vietnamese food truck on premise, and like the crazy person I am, I got the smoked chicken pho, which was interesting, and not quite what I was hoping for. The banh mi was ok, but pretty light on the meat, so it was mostly bread and lettuce. The pulled pork looked good, but was standard and nothing terribly special, but when you're hungry, just about anything will do. It wasn't a bad way to spend a day, by any means, but with lots of other breweries in the area, I'd try a different one next time. read more

Just had a work gathering at Back Pew and we had great time! The staff was friendly and very accommodating! And the beer was probably the BEST in all of Texas! Thank you Randy and staff! We will be back! read more

Great great place! Wish it was open more during this pandemic. But I understand why it's not. Even though it isn't open you can still get curb side pick up of all your favorite beer! Support local businesses! read more

Excellent environment! Live music & a food truck with pet friendly enjoyment! Took my Back Pew Pint glass this time and tried being a Sinner on this trip! Sweet Salvation is no joking matter read more

We've been coming here since the opened just a few years ago. It's been awesome to see them grow to where they are today. The staff and volunteers are incredibly friendly and always give a warm welcome to my family. They're especially sweet to our daughter. The beer is solid and they're always trying to improve and testing out new recipes. Some of our favorites are Hopostle IPA, Evildoer Pale Ale, & Blue Testament Pilsner. They often have food trucks and they allow you to bring your own food. The outside space is huge and it never feels crowded even when the place is packed. read more

If you are looking for a fun weekend afternoon place for the family and you like beer, then you really can't go wrong with Back Pew Brewing. They are hidden on Sorters Road, between Kingwood Dr and North Park. Back Pew is a fun place to visit. It is very family friendly and even pet friendly. Craft brewing can get very pretentious very quickly. Fans of craft beer are called beer snobs for a reason. But at this place, it is simply not the case. Back Pew is a very approachable from the view of regular beer drinkers and beer snobs alike. The variety is fantastic and divided between their Saint line of lighter beers and their Sinners line of heavier, stronger beers. They also make some limited brews available. They don't serve food, but always have a food truck on site to feed you. You can also bring your own food. There is a stage for a band and covered tables out in the huge back yard. You are encouraged to bring your own chairs and pop up tents so you can relax outside. There are some corn hole boards there too. My four year old twins ran around like crazy and burned off some serious energy. Parking is plentiful too. My favorite part is the feeling of family that Back Pew offers. Much of the staff at Back Pew is the family of the owner. The other staff feel like extended family. They are knowledgeable of their product and can point you in the right direction. The only cons are a bit picky. The taproom is new and beautiful, but it is lacking in fabrics and can get quite noisy. Some pictures, drapes, tapestry would really soften things up. The tables are just plastic picnic tables. But, the latter point really doesn't detract from the enjoyment. There are two bathrooms, both equipped with changing tables. As a parent, I appreciate that little detail. read more

It's like if I died and I woke up in heaven and there was a place where they served awesome BBQ and strong AF beers (9th Circle), this place is a big awesome brewery to hangout on a spring or summer day drinking the day away. Just be sure you got a safe way home, it's a good drive from DT/H-Town but sooooooooooo worth the trip! I dream of the 9th Circle again! read more

Enjoyed the opening day of the taproom. A great selection of beer, huge backyard and easygoing vibe. Loved Canto II with "coconut cream pie shot." Really sweet and rich. The indoor bathroom capacity is very low (2 unisex ones) but they augmented it with porta potties outside. read more

Not the best beer but not the worst. I wasn't a fan of how you had to buy chips/tokens for the beer. Great people working there and great service. read more

Great beer selection. More importantly wry nice people who don't mind talking about beer. Our first visit was good. Sat outside visit food truck listen to music. Thank you for not playing country. read more

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Local, craft beer. Costs $9-15 or so for a glass and 3-4 tokens for beers (depending on which size you get). Food trucks out back are always good! Would love a little more variety but if that's my only complaint I'll get over it. The owner is on site every Saturday chatting with guests. I don't even like beer and I like these! Volunteers and workers are so friendly and helpful, atmosphere is just fun. Grab your kids, your dog and a few $$ and head out on a Saturday. Guarantee you will be back again. One of my favorite kingwood area places....so glad you're here!! read more

Nice yard with sunshades. Good beer. Excited about visiting a new brewery!! $20 beer (no refills)....I was disappointed that I had to pay a cover to drink a beer and have access to food trucks just because they had a band that I didn't come to see. I came to check out the new brewery, have a beer or 2, and eat. I just think it's better to build clientele first and then profit. Not well thought out plan. At least 2 beers to make it feel worth it. Otherwise it's essentially a $20 beer and a first impression. Total cost $30 for 1 mug*, 1 beer +tip, and a small gyro +tip. Can't afford to come back. Next time, I'll call first and check. Look at it this way: A group of 15+ thirsty and hungry hikers. (15x30=$450) left thirsty and hungry. *(no pint glasses which most people prefer because they collect them) read more

Went there 8/5/2017. Paid for a glass that comes with 2 tokens for lower alcohol brews & 1 token token for higher ABV. The beer wasn't bad although I only had 2 beers and dumped both of them after a few drinks. No tap room, just a roped off section of the brew warehouse with a big box fan for circulation. Employees are cordial and the place isn't dirty. Outside in back is more seating under cover & food was available from a food truck. All the beers are have names implying connection with the Bible or religion. read more
