I have been a fan of this brewery for years. My first experience was actually at a pizza place close to the brewery called Mellow Mushroom. I wanted to try something new and I was in the mood for a crisp beer. So, I saw 11 Below-7 Iron and I thought... sure! Why not? Since that moment I never looked back. Shoot, I remember buying one of the first 6 packs they sold at my local HEB (and it so happened to be the store I worked with at the time). I remember even buying a 6 pack that had a token for a beer at their brewery. Do yall still do that with random 6 packs? Anyways, I love the location of the brewery as I grew up in the neighborhood across the street. It's where I'm from and it gives me a wave of memories. There used to be a forest where the brewery stands and I was pet-sitting for a neighbor and the dog got out. It ran into that forest and I ran in there and got it out. Anyways, I like the family friendly environment they set up. I think more breweries should be like this one. Fantastic, creative, and delicious beer with awesome food trucks and that awesome environment. My only gripe is that I wish they would distribute/sell in Huntsville. I would buy them by the case! Well, keep brewing great beer and I look forward to my next trip down to Houston for arguably the best beer in the...
Read moreThis brewery is such a hidden gem—I can’t believe it’s only a mile from my house! Tucked behind some businesses, it’s easy to miss, but once you find it, you’ll wonder how you didn’t know about it sooner. The vibe here is fantastic—open, vibrant, and super chill—perfect for grabbing a beer and unwinding.
It’s also dog-friendly, which is a huge plus! On our visit, we were spoiled with food options, including a variety of food trucks and a hot dog stand. We tried the oven-baked sausage pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. To top it off, we stumbled upon their "Octobearfest" celebration (yes, bear-themed!), which had fun activities and competitions throughout the day.
Of course, the beer is the real star here. Every brew we tried was top-notch—definitely my go-to now over Saint Arnold’s Brewery.
Update: We were thrilled to find them open on Christmas Day! The space was cozy and warm, and their cider was exactly what we needed to toast the holiday spirit. This spot has quickly become a favorite for its great atmosphere, delicious food, and, most importantly, incredible beer. Highly recommend...
Read moreI have waited far too long to get to this brewery because of how far out of the way it is.
It was worth the wait but honestly I'm kind of kicking myself for not coming sooner considering how much I like their beer (so I may be a tad biased on this review.)
The venue itself itls pretty standard fare for a warehouse brewery in Houston. A couple arcade, big fans to get that crosswind going and a lot of beers on tap.
I greatly enjoyed the variety of what was available as they still had a couple of their seasonals (we be pubbin' being great!) and a couple varietues that you can't find in stores (Positive space which is a vanilla spin on negative space and quite nice if you like stouts)
The beertender was welcoming, jovial, and knowledgeable about their selection.
If you're in the area and like beer this is a great stop. For others that live a bit far away it is totally worth it if you enjoy...
