Brewery #399 I started here on my brewery hopping day in Houston recently. Why did I start at Great Heights you ask? Because they open at 11am on Fridays! That may sound like no big deal; except they don't have a kitchen. They encourage day drinking. My people! I ordered a flight and they offer 6-beers in their flight. Again, my people! I got 3 different IPA's, a coffee stout, a kolsch, and a hefeweizen. I liked all of them but The Whammer hazy IPA was my favorite amongst them. The atmosphere was relaxed and chill. The place had a few people enjoying a pint while looking at spreadsheets on their laptop, another guy all decked out in spandex (it's more fun saying it that way then saying a cyclist) and a few couples. Lots of plants so my ladyfriend would dig it too. The music was perfect for me and it ranged from Zeppelin to Earth Wind and Fire to The Smokey and the Bandit theme. Definitely a spot I will repeat when I come to Houston and if I were a local, I would be a regular. read more

Great Heights Brewery has made some of my favorite IPAs. My go to beers here tend to be the fruity pellets and blue tile IPA. They also have some good rotating options when you visit the brewery. Great place for a happy hour or just to go hang out. They usually have a food truck, or you can bring/order your own food if you'd like. read more

Pretty cool brewery, our favorite on the strip here. Lots of IPAs if that's your thing. They are open in the mornings for coffee with a small pastry selection too. read more

Nice, small brewery on a street with other bars and wineries which is fun. Parking was full so we paid the $4 lot parking next door. We sat on the patio with 6 large tables since inside was chilly. I prefer stouts and the only one they had was a coffee stout. It was ok. Pretty mild for a stout. Service was fine. Quick on a Saturday afternoon. A nice spot if you are nearby. But not worth my drive from Clear Lake. read more

Another in a string of really cool small to medium-sized breweries / beer gardens I've visited in Houston. In fact, Wakefield Dr in general has a lot of good things going on. Great Heights has all of the three things a brewery needs to be great: knowledgeable/friendly staff, great location and awesome beer. With indoor/outdoor seating you can enjoy a drink in any weather. Try a six pour flight and you will find at least 4 of your next favorite beers. read more

Very chill spot to grab a hand-crafted brew and mingle with friends, go on a date, or have that period of solitude when all you want is a tasty beer/cider/hard seltzer to go with your thoughts. Interior contains some cool wall items with tvs for sports/events and there is inside and outside seating. Some inside seating uses barrels for tables which is a cool touch. And there's always some sort of food truck outside to pair with whatever beverages you decide on. Now for the beers, they've got a good selection of IPAs, pale ales, and non-beers such as ciders or hard seltzers. Their Blue Tile IPA and Hazy IPA are some of the better ones with a kicking citrus taste. As for pale ales, their Corvallis Pale Ale is easy to sip on. Best pale ale is their South Island pale ale, I think it's a permanent fixture on their menu (hopefully). If you're looking for fruity or sour, the Helen sour ale is a popular one. Some beers are in rotation which they'll have on their wall. And of course, you can get their beer to go to enjoy somewhere that's not in the brewery. Can't believe this is close to where I live and look forward to frequenting here more often! read more

Great recommendation! We got a flight and didn't go wrong with any of our selections. The Fruity Pellets and Irish Stout were personal favorites. Great calm and relaxed vibe! We will be back! read more

Service was good, and pretty good selection of drinks. Plenty of seating when I went - long tables for groups plus a few small tables.

Solid brewery! Friendly customer service and plenty of seating indoor and outdoor on the front patio. I went to Great Heights on a weekday afternoon which was nice because it wasn't too crowded and I had the whole outside area by myself to chill and read. I tried the fruity pellet IPA (shown in pic) which was pretty good. 6% ABV so I definitely felt it by the time I finished my glass lol. Very crisp and citrusy like flavor with no bad/bitter after taste. Brewery sells chips/snacks. No actual food during the hours that I stopped by but there does appear to be several food trucks along the road so I'm sure on the weekends/evening time there's a lot more food options. read more

If you're looking for a chill spot in the heights to enjoy a nice, cold brew, look no further. I thoroughly enjoy coming here. If you enjoy New England IPAs as much as I do, The Fruity Pellets is my go-to. The patio is dog friendly, kids are welcome. read more

Enjoyed my first visit here! We opted for a 4- and 6-tasting. All options were great; the sour beer was my favorite. They have seating on two outdoor patios and indoor tables as well. Great service. read more

Friendly service and delicious beer! I would never have expected to find a brewery tucked away in a neighborhood, but that definitely gives it a family-friendly, chill vibe. We had a friend's baby shower here and the staff was very accommodating and willing to let us reserve tables for a Sunday afternoon. We will definitely be back! There is a good amount of parking surrounding the brewery and they have seating both inside and on a patio. read more

Super tasty, but not what I expected. The In-house IPA #14 is a West Coast IPA but without the hoppiness and dank. Pretty clean, with a slight bitter taste read more

Could not believe it when I looked this place up on yelp and saw it only had seven reviews. They are the only brewery I've found right now that has a beer on tap that I like...covehefe hefeweizen. It is so easy to drink and has a really nice banana-ish finish. I know I have limited beer taste, but I've been here with others who liked their fruity pellets IPA and the amber beer. Their glasses are cute, they have a bunch of board games, and they're normally ~$5 for most pints. There's food trucks around, but you can also pick up food to bring and eat here. If the temperature is manageable outside, they open the garage door, so take advantage of coming here for a beer when the weather is nice! read more

Great Heights is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! visited here from Southern California, and their Fruity Pellets is so delicious. Bought some to go and brought it here to our local brewers and the consensus was that it is fantastic. Their service is great! While visiting the city I ran into one of the beertenders from here and he recognized me and suggested places to visit. Awesome beer and impeccable service! I'd fly back out here for some Fruity Pellets! read more

GHB is the perfect neighborhood craft brewery. It's bright, spacious and welcoming. The staff was friendly, but most importantly, the beer was good! Plus, most of their beers had ABVs of 6+! GHB also participates in Houston Beer Pass. I recommend adding them to your list and trying a flight! read more

Great Heights Brewing - Fruity Pellets was the best! - Breweries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great place in the Heights to grab a craft brew. There's lots of IPAs to choose from here and the indoor area is really nice with a good volume of seating and eclectic artwork. They have trivia night here on Wednesdays with prizes that varies from pies to gift cards to the brewery. The bartenders are friendly and fast pourers and the brews are great. The restrooms are very clean. The women's restroom also has convenient things like feminine supplies, deodorant spray, and hair ties if you need them. There's also plenty of parking. read more

Great Heights has some of the best beer in Houston! Fruity Pellets is a staple. Haze not Hate, was a great hazy ipa. Estelle, Happy Terrific, and Susan are AMAZING sours. The outdoor patio is super fun too and dog friendly! The Purple Flour pizza food truck is a great meal while you drink. Their online ordering system is super user friendly as well! read more

Looking for a good local brewery I would suggest checking this place out. We're gone a few times now. Kid/pet friendly. They have a yummy pizza truck during the week and weekends they have other trucks (usual good food truck options) or we doordash some food. They have a nice patio area in both the front/back area. They have great drink selections on tap. This is a great place to try. read more

Good beer, good location, good parking, and a diverse group of people inside the brewery. It was our first time here and we are trying to check off various Houston breweries to find our favorite one. The guys behind the counter were both funny and efficient. We got a flight of five and they were pretty generous amounts plus the beer was really tasty. read more

Great place!!! It was perfect to meet up with friends and have awesome beer (especially with cool staff who can listen to ramblings of me not knowing what I want and give the best draft lol). read more

I had been here once before and LOVED the Fruity Pellets. Would continue to come back for that beer alone (especially because they're a smaller brewery and I couldn't find any of the beers at Specs). So naturally I got the Fruity pellets and then my fiancé ordered the Bandit IPA per recommendations she had gotten. Both super solid - we ended up buying 4 packs of each to take home. I also love their glassware and almost bought one of those too. read more

Fabulous service! Dog friendly patio! They allow you to bring wine bottles from the winery Nextdoor. Good beer, really enjoyed the coffee tasting beer and Hefeweizen! read more

I can't believe this place doesn't have more reviews! I love the feel of this brewery, half outdoors, half in, and lots of fun. The bartender, I believe his name was Michael, was very knowledgeable - happy to talk about beer and the community. I work near here, and love to visit the other businesses and people who work in the area. The beers were great, the saison was my favorite. I was told they have food trucks on the weekend read more

If you're like me and have fallen prey to the haze craze (NE IPA), then this is your spot. Great Heights has been around less than a year but has been turning out consistently delicious hazy beers, along with some more traditional west coast IPAs and even a house-made hef that the wife can drink. The place itself is on the smaller side, which we'll call "intimate," and is conveniently located just a few doors down from Petrol Station if you want to grab yourself a mighty burger. There is a food truck onsite, which I haven't sampled yet. Crowbar is also right next door if you're in the mood for something stronger than beer. My fav's to date have been the Fruity Pellets (single NE IPA) and Galactic Fruitier Pellets (double NE IPA). Crowlers go for around $12, and methinks this is money well spent... Dogs are not allowed inside, but there is a back deck where your pup is welcome on days it's not 150 degrees outside. All in all, great little spot with awesome beer and other bar-type destinations to venture to in the immediate vicinity if you're feeling a bit of drinking wanderlust. read more

Awesome addition to the neighborhood. Besides having the best beers on a beer heavy block, the folks that work there make the place a weekly stop for us. The pizza truck (Purple Flour) is the icing on the cake. You can't beat the beers to amazing staff combo. read more

Good beer, some of the games are missing a lot of pieces. But overall pretty nice. Good vibe. Clean. I'll come back fo sho. read more

Great Heights Brewing - Wall of beer barrels? - Breweries Near Me - Houston, Texas

First time checking out this (relatively) new brewery. Not to be confused with Eureka Heights Brew, this small-ish brewery is just a couple of blocks down from Petrol Station (delicious, get the Rancor burger, you're welcome). I really appreciated the laid back vibe and air-conditioned indoor space. There's also an outdoor patio with a tree for a bit of shade and appeared to be some seating in the taproom as well. There's some solid artwork and murals that add to the aesthetic. In addition there are a number of board games to enjoy while you imbibe. As far as the brews go, I tried the Wakefield IPA, the Denali IPA and the Fruity Pellets. All three were solid (albeit not exceptional) brews with the Denali being my favorite (and true to my typical preferences). Not a huge fan of the hazy, New England resurgence, but thought fruity pellets was solid. Then again, I could taste those Mosaic hops and I'm borderline obsessed with anything mosaic-related right now. ("Oh, Hi Yellow Rose, Fresh Squeezed and Community's aptly-named Mosaic"). Most of the beers will run you $5 (so a bit more expensive than the bigger breweries where $10 typically buys you three tokens) but, then, that's to be expected since they don't scale the same way. Service was solid, even as the traffic picked up. Shout out to Mike who was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient AF behind the bar. We get out (especially to breweries) less often with the young one in tow, but thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will certainly return (especially if it doesn't get *too crowded* in the future). read more

Great beer and great staff! Highly recommend a visit to this brewery. Also recommend their Barrel Room for events. Great space and reasonably priced for beer and amenities. Thanks for making our event a success. Abby and Steve. Thanks for the great service. read more

Great new addition to the Houston brewery scene... this is the brewery to go to if you are looking for a Hefeweizen that tastes like a Hefeweizen or an IPA that tastes like a classic IPA (and I mean that in a good way). While I appreciate the adventurous beers that a lot of other breweries provide, its nice to have a brewery that sticks to the classics and does them really well. The bartender was also really friendly and helpful in suggesting beers and allowing us to taste-test before making a decision on a pint. Pours are really reasonably priced and they even offer smaller tasting-sized pours if you don't want to commit to a whole pint. They do growler and growler fills, as well. Added bonus was their air-conditioned taproom which seems rare as far as breweries around here go but is definitely going to be a life-saver this summer! read more

Family-leaning bar in the Heights. This place and the surrounding area gets packed on weekends parking impossible. Pizza truck in front looked great and sells by the slice. Expect tons of kids, but also expect solid beer offerings. IPAs were good especially the hazy. Prices are brewery prices. Few TVs and togo cans available for some. This is a fine brewery for hanging out, but didn't blow me awayy by any means in terms of ambiance or beer selection and quality. read more

Quaint little brewery that just popped up out of nowhere. Went in there a few months ago, just on a whim, and it was a pleasant surprise! The bartender was very helpful in finding a beer I'd like, the prices were great, and it wasn't too busy! I'm sure the word's gotten out and they're busy now, but for a Saturday it was refreshing not to bump elbows with a single person. I am looking forward to going back when it warms up and enjoy a brew on the patio! read more

Awesome small craft brewery that has a definite neighborhood vibe. Great selection at reasonable prices and there's something for every beer drinker(from New England IPAs to a lager) along with root beer, topo chico, Mexican coke and a cider. The staff are all very friendly and the venue has lots of seating and space for private functions. Definitely recommend spending a couple hours here and enjoying all they have to offer, there's usually a food truck every night, otherwise you can bring your own food or order delivery. The female bathrooms are well-appointed and have a changing station with bleach wipes, it's a game changer. read more
