Looking for a place that a beer-snob wouldn't want to miss in Houston

St. Arnold's pub crawl in the Heights today.

Honestly, all of these "craft beer" places pretty much offer similar menus. Onion Creek on White Oak is an example.

I'll be at the pub crawl today.

I wouldn't say Onion Creek is a craft beer joint though, but I do see what you are saying. Most of the bars say the serve craft beer, but it's not much different than the other bars.

Hey Merchant, Mongoose vs. Cobra and Petro Station are the exception because they serve hard to find beer.

Definitely go to st. Arnold's happy hour. They have one every day until like 6pm I believe.

I've heard flying saucer has tons of beer on tap.

You can bring in outside food to st. Arnold's since you don't want to drink on an empty stomach.

St. Arnold's brewery is open to the public from only about 3pm to 4:30 and you can only get in for about 30 minutes. On Saturday it is earlier, longer, and significantly more crowded. $7 gets you a beer glass and four tokens that are you use to get beer. There is also an optional tour of the brewery.

And yes, you can bring outside food. Many times there are food trucks outside.
