Celebrate American Craft Beer Week with these local award-winning brews

Eight area breweries won big at the 2024 World Beer Cup

Houston – May 13 kicks off American Craft Beer Week! 🍺

It’s a great way to gather support for breweries everywhere. Many around town have deals going on this week, and we have a list you might want to try. That’s because six local breweries took home a title for their brews at the World Beer Cup in April.

The Brewers Association developed the World Beer Cup Competition in 1996 to celebrate the art and science of brewing. The World Beer Cup is the most prestigious beer competition in the world.

Bronze 🥉

1. Irish Hello (4.3%)

Saint Arnold Brewing Co.

Classic Irish-style dry stout

What James has to say: The beauty of Irish Hello is how unexpectedly easy-drinking and thirst quenching it is while having perfectly balanced elements of roasted coffee and chocolate. Add that to the dry finish, and you’ll want another right after your first. At 4.3% ABV, you can even treat yourself to a third.

2. The Hot Stove, Texas Leaguer Brewing Co. - Missouri City

Strong porter

3. Rhu Barbed, Karbach Brewing Co.

Field beer

Silver🥈

1. Red Giant Foeder Aged Saison, True Anomaly Brewing Co.
