During some downtime on a work trip to Houston I was resolved to hit up a craft brewing for some local beer. True Anomaly was just around the corner from my hotel so I made the short trek. I won't lie, this neighborhood of Houston is funky. It's very underdeveloped, lots filled with piles of rubble, and closed down/boarded up businesses. And yet, there's some fantastic food and drink spots amidst it all, True Anomaly being one of them. The taproom is large and inviting, and the beer menu expansive. Got a flight of 3 and my favorite was definitely their saison. This is the kind of place I'd probably be a regular at if I lived in town. In fact, one of the regulars was kind enough to list out some other local beers I should try, and even some restaurants/bars to check out. Great overall experience, would be excited to return.

Facility is clean and staff is friendly. They have a good selection on tap beer as well as canned beer. I tried several options and landed in the Light the lamp Canadian Red Ale after a strong staff suggestion. It did not disappoint. Atmosphere is very calm. They have some table games available for some added fun. Will definitely visit again.

More bar than brewery. It's seemed like most of their beers if not all were brewed by other companies. It was crowded and loud. The beer was just ok. We tried a flight and did not drink it all as it was really not that great.

If you like IPAs, sours, lagers this is the place for you! If you like light beers only, the menu is pretty small. The Spanish lager was my fav. I'd say it's not light but also not heavy. Definitely refreshing! Be sure to check the hours they're open. Google said they were open later than I thought. After ordering a flight around 8pm on a Sunday, the staff member told me they were closing soon.

Ambiance: Super fun space themed brewery with really cool lights, decor, and art scattered around inside. They have merch available & ample seating, including a bar area and couches/tables. Games available to play near the couches. There is also an outdoor patio space and bar is very dog friendly! All of the beers we tried were amazing! I personally loved Jupiter Drops - an IPA with lactose (so unique!) and the other IPA we tried was also very good. You do have to pay for taste samples, which seemed a bit eh if you're visiting for the first time and just trying 1 or two beers before committing... Great smaller brewery spot in the EADO area. I would go back for sure and bring one of my dogs!

All the beers are great. Plus there is wine, champagne and specialty coffee too. Literally all of them are amazing. They have couches and TVs if you want to hang out or watch a game. Staff is super chill but also attentive. Great vibe for sure.

True Anomaly is easily one of my favorite breweries in Houston. If you love IPA's like I do, you will be in heaven because they have a lot to choose from!

Some of the NASA related art in the brewery.

If there is one negative thing here, it is the lack of parking. I was here at a non-popular time, so found a space in their dinky parking area. There are lots next to the brewery and across the street, so you can find paid parking nearby. Yeah, weird way to start a review, but I felt I would get the bad out of the way quickly, even if the bad is not their fault. True Anomaly was started by a couple of NASA engineers, so the brews are very scientific. As per my usual modus operandi, I sat at the bar and let the beertender choose my flight with beers named after space themes: Go Flight (NEIPA), Dark Matter (Belgian Dubbel), Heat Shields are for Sissies (Belgian Quad), and Densified Propellant (Imperial Stout). Yes, some heavy weight brews. I ranked the beers in the 3.75 to 4.0 range on untappd, so above average by a few notches. The place is very clean and fits the theme nicely. Most of the seating is higher end picnic tables, with additional metal chairs and small tables (pic). Some of the brewery systems sit behind the bar and they have the tap lists to the right. Decent seating at the bar and a fridge with togo beer to the right of the bar. There is a room for private parties, as well. If you go to the restroom, you will see art for various of their cans (pic). And there are various bits of memorabilia, like a print of the mission plan for the space shuttle. Great experience all around. I will return next time I am in Houston.

Great service team. D makes the beer, he's amazing! Steph paints faces-she's amazing!! Great patio with plenty of parking. 80s/90s tunes! Come grab a "beermosa"

On the day of the day of the marathon, my family and I were looking for a place to stay warm after the half marathon while we waited for my cousin to finish the full. It was an awkward time (just after 10:30am on a Sunday) so very little was open in the area! The kind employee let us come in early to warm up so we stayed for a few beers which were great! Loved their selection and appreciate that they also offer coffee! The atmosphere and service were also great! We will be back the next time we're in Houston!

True Anomaly was the last brewery I went to and I was probably a little burnt out. We also just managed to walk in a little before last call/closing time. Sundays are a still a little sleepy. The staff didn't seem to mind, actually they were dispassionate. We got up to the bar took a look and no hi or howdy. I knew what I was going to get but my buddy was on the fence and at no point was there any attempt in his decision making process. I ended up getting one of their sours which was ok. I think I would have tried some more but it seemed like it would burden staff for another so we just settled up and left.

multiple Belgian beers on draft- def gotta try any of the BBA (barrel bourbon aged). also it's dog friendly, so win win

Clever "hatchway" to restrooms!

How have I never reviewed Saint Arnold Brewing Company?!…read more It's the longest running craft brewery in Texas, having won countless national awards. Though I don't drink beer anymore, I love that they do have a line of ciders and sparkling water at the brewery; and they have a few wine options. Most recently, I had their pizza margherita (made with cauliflower pizza crust, per my request). It was surprisingly very good! I wasn't expecting much, but it was crispy and had zesty pesto sauce that made it even better. If you don't want to order from their kitchen, they do have food trucks and other artisan vendors, entertainment. Do a tour if you can. It's kid and dog-friendly. And it's a great spot to watch some sports on their big screen with views of the downtown Houston skyline. Also, love that SA supports so many non-profit events. High community involvement...

It's might be petty on my side but I'm taking off a star because of how terrible their heirloom…read moreTomato Salad. For $15 plus $5 for chicken, you'd expect it to be at least a decent sized salad and have salad stuff in there but you just get a few pieces of chicken and a green goo with just a few and I mean this literally, a few pieces of arugula? I guess I should have read the fine print which didn't mention lettuce but how can you call something a salad that doesn't have any kind of green leaves? I have been coming here a few times a year for various events but the place just doesn't seem to have any sort of a niche...yeah they have beer but I could get that down the street at any pub. They don't even bother putting ice in their water coolers anymore either.

The nightlife haven that has been EaDo has always been impressive to me, namely because of the…read morevariety of places to crawl, hop, and indulge. No venue embodies this more than 8th Wonder Brewery, which has become a must visit since there is so much more than meets the eye. There are numerous reasons I can get behind this wonder: :: Outdoor seating is one of the best I've seen in Houston. There are tables galore and an endless amount of space to run around in. It is so vast that even on their busiest days i've still managed to find some aspect of seating. :: It's enormous. There is so much room to run around and plenty of space to where it never feels crowded. Seating is abundant and the high ceilings :: Need somewhere to go where a bunch of folks can meet up immediately? No reservations required and bring the kids and pets (during the daytime), or show up with a bunch of folks and enjoy the outdoor tables. :: Like beer? Good. There's plenty of it here. The dome foam (throwback cream ale) and the cougar paw (red ale) are excellent. :: Happy Hour is between 4pm-7pm, which includes $8 THC cocktails and a variety of other spirits. $4 beer drafts, $5 THC drafts, and $6 well liquor. Their daily "Wonder Hour is from 8-9pm where it's 25% off all to-go purchases. :: No pretension here. No cover. Come in and go out. That's a beautiful thing considering how any venues here will check for IDs and promptly ask for money. :: On select nights, this the street side destination for Yoyo's Hot Dogs (#1), which moved here after their initial run in Rice Village. :: They serve Delta-8 / Delta-9 here. Nuff said. :: Service from the bartenders has always been no frills and friendly. All drinks are normally served with a smile and the pours can be nice and heavy. The only downside is the bathrooms and the parking. There isn't enough of the latter and there's not of the former. Still, I appreciate all the intangibles that 8th Wonder has to offer and look forward to coming here each time. ___________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/yoyos-hot-dog-houston-14?

We ordered the Mango Passion Fruit Rum Punch, a Wonder Light Lager, a Haterade Watermelon Sour, and an El Pepino shot. Overall, the drinks were decent, and we appreciated the cocktails being made fresh instead of from a can. The El Pepino shot was our favorite of the all of the drinks. They don't offer beer flights, as that would have made it easier to sample more of their beers. There's a large indoor and outdoor space great for large groups, events, or simply hanging out. Service was great.

My friend and I enjoy exploring small craft breweries around town. My friend wanted to check out…read moreEqual Parts so we stopped in on a Sunday evening. The brewery is located in the East End/Second Ward and it's owned by the same folks as Brash Brewing. The building was built in the early 1900s. The taproom is moderate in size and there were quite a few tables. I had a pint of the Oktoberfest which I really enjoyed! I also ordered a flight with the following: 3 Seashells, Brash EZ 7, Spin Jammer, and the Exotica Scorpion. I didn't care for the Exotica (it was too sour for my preference), but I did like the other three that I tried. We didn't see any food during our visit, but they do have rotating vendors that sell food on site. You can also bring in food or have food delivered to the brewery. They don't have any TVs, so this wouldn't be a place to watch a game. They do allow free parking at the brewery if you want to take the train to the stadium which is pretty cool. They have weekday specials and they host events like Music Bingo and Yoga on the 4th Sunday of the month. Check their website and social media for events and specials.

We stopped in waiting for our nearby AirBnB check in. Very positive first impression! I'm not a fan…read moreof beer so I'm always happy to see wine offerings.

Had the pleasure of stopping by Bad Astronaut brewery this weekend…read more Parking was plentiful with a dedicated parking lot and street parking. There's a great view of downtown. They didn't serve food but they had a food truck right outside the door. I tried out a couple of beers (phaser fight, fighting windmills) but they also had soda, cocktails, mocktails and water. I really enjoyed the fighting windmills the most. It was described as a mexican lager. The staff were friendly and were able to provide input on the drink choices. It was spacious, family friendly, and cool inside despite the heat. They even had games to enjoy. I'm giving a 3 because the beer was good but not great. With that said, it's worth trying and I would return.

There were plenty of games to play, lots of seating area where you could enjoy a beer and good conversation, and clear views of the brewing tanks which makes for a great photo opp. They also have a large parking area with an amazing view of the downtown skyline which makes for another amazing photo opp. Even with the large garage doors open, the space stayed cool. It's a great environment for families and friends to gather, try beer, play games, and fellowship. We ordered the Fighting Windmills, Phaser Fight, Cloud Punch, a Cosmic Bloom cocktail, and a shot of Pineapple Fruit Punch Hooch-ito. The beers were crisp, cold, and enjoyable nothing too spectacularly. Our favorite beer was the Fighting Windmills, and the sample of Cowabunga Bangarang that we were able to sample. They don't offer beer flights, but we'd definitely come back for those two selections. We wish we'd known the cocktails weren't made fresh because they tasted more like a premixed syrup with water, and we weren't able to finish them. Overall, we'd return for the beer, the friendly service, and the relaxed atmosphere.
