    Stepped in and was glad to see a new Bottle Shop open up in Houston. Looks good and growler fills are always nice.

    I've been waiting as well. What's the selection like? Did you get a pic of the list of brews?

    They have maybe 100-200 bottles. They have alot of single 12 oz too if you want to try stuff, nothing too special but they do have a nice selection. Also with time they'll be getting rare stuff.

    Around Petrol pricing. Not too pricy. Better than Hay Merchant Def.

    They are on seekabrew and it lost the taps. No Label, 512 IPA, Endeavor and a couple of Buffalo Bayou and Live Oak as well.

    These are what I recall being on tap this past Saturday:
    SA Endeavour
    SS Buried Hatchet
    LO Pilz
    Cedar Creek Smoked Alt
    NL Black Wit-O
    Buff Bayou Gingerbread Stout
    (512) IPA
    Bottles were nothing spectacular but obviously nice to have options. Nice guys, fair prices.

    I stopped in today and had a nice chat with the owner (spacing on his name, sorry). I'm pretty new to craft and he took the time to answer some of my noob questions. The space is really inviting and I look forward to stopping in again soon.

    Made a visit today. I love the place. Johnny has done a great job. Got Live Oak Pilz, and it is probably the freshest I have ever had it, really amazing. Same thing with the taste of Endeavor I got. He really cares about the quality and freshness you get. I highly recommend the place.

    Went there yesterday for the Official Opening and was very impressed with the setup and the dedication of the owner to craft beer. He cared about freshness and quality of the product. Mentioned that he would also be getting special releases from our breweries. Love the draft selection he has at the shop. I mean a fresh growler of Hennepin! ME LIKEY!

    10/10 would come again. Probably over the weekend when he taps his Live Oak Hefe

    Stopped in today to check it out and walked away with a couple growlers. First and foremost, the guys running it are great, friendly, and knowledgeable. Based on what I read here, and what I saw today, I'd say they have a nice selection on-tap that rotates. They had Left Hand Milk Stout, Buff Bayou Ginger Bread and they just kicked 1836, a couple of (512), Independence, a Karbach and more that I forgot to remember. Have a look, and help them out as they're in the first month of operation.

    I wish we had one of these in South Austin... Whip In does growler fills, but I get seriously annoyed whenever I try to get in there after 5pm to get one due to hipsters... HIPSTERS EVERYWHERE!
