karbach brewing company is a houston , texas-based microbrewery .

the company was founded in 2011 , when beverage industry veterans chuck robertson and ken goodman ( of distributor c.r. goodman ) joined with ex flying dog brewmaster and ceo eric warner on a new venture .

since launch , karbach has experienced rapid growth thanks in part to the brewery 's veteran roster .

in 2013 , karbach was cited in the new yorker as the second fastest growing craft brewery in the u.s .

in 2015 , karbach completed renovations on a $ 15m expansion to their brewhouse , including an on-site restaurant .

the brewery is named for its location on karbach street in houston 's spring branch neighborhood .

karbach is also the name of a city in bavaria , germany .

it was acquired by anheuser-busch inbev nv on november 3rd , 2016 .

one reason we named the brewery karbach brewing co . is because we’re located on karbach street . even more important to us , though , is the fact that the karbach street warehouse was the site ken and chuck started their beer distribution company decades ago . lots of great beer has moved through the warehouse over the years , and now it is time to add our own to that list . karbach is also a village in bavaria . we hear they drink a lot of great beer there .
the shelves and taps belong to beer drinkers and retailers , not the producers . if one mega company tries to manufacture or force demand , consumers will rebel .

again , warner sounded confident about the future , describing his company ' s success in less than four year as
surreal .
he readily acknowledges the advantages karbach has over many of the young breweries that are starting with far less capital .

ken goodman and longtime business partner chuck robertson , who founded the brewery in a building they formerly used in their beer distributorship on karbach street , said existing management and brewers will remain in place and the company will retain much of its independence while also gaining access to the resources that will help it continue to grow .

szpigel and the karbach team said they will continue to focus on developing the texas market for the next couple of years .
great place to spend time with friends and watch sports . we drove by the karbach brewing company and thought let ' s see what is going on this hot saturday afternoon . the restaurant was fill so we decided to go to the bier garden . so much fun , we got a glass and tokens for beer . it was hot but they had huge fans and we sat right in front of one . we had the astro ' s game to the left , the world cup to the right . after awhile we were hunger so went inside ordered a yummy pizza , used up our tokens and had a great afternoon . can ' t wait to return .
when they are all filled , the tanks weigh a combined 1 million pounds . bolstered by this and other shiny new equipment , a four - times - larger brewhouse and a computer system that has automated nearly every aspect of the brewing process , karbach expects to increase production some 60 percent over last year .

the ab - inbev investment will push karbach ' s annual capacity to 150 , 000 or more barrels by 2019 , the companies said .
bigger brews from karbach could be on the way later in the year , warner said . possibilities include a double ipa or an imperial porter .
more have announced their intention to do the same . in stafford , for instance , kreuz creek brewing co . has equipment on site and is in the process of securing the various state and federal permits required .
warner said he is undaunted by the competition . he ' s from colorado , where craft brewing is an embedded part of the culture and where it ' s common to find multiple breweries in the same city .
karbach also spared no expense with the working innards of the brewery , dominated by ziemann brewhouse vessels that warner calls
the best equipment in the world .
feelings were heightened during last year ' s super bowl when ab - inbev aired a budweiser commercial that derided craft beers and said its beer was made
the hard way .
earlier this week , the head of the trade group for the smaller independents offered a tart response to ab - inbev chief carlos brito ' s assertion that
consumers are a bit tired of choice
while calling out the company ' s
craft brewery shopping spree of late .
and , probably sometime next year , he said , it will be time to build out that other bunker and start bringing in more fermentation tanks so karbach can grow some more .
to get the project this far , this close to the target opening without going wildly over budget , warner thanked the vendors , contractors and the many karbach employees who worked on it .
karbach restaurant + patio delivers a brewery and dining experience unlike anywhere else . the karbach culinary team has created a menu of dynamic , world - class cuisine that just so happens to pair really freaking well with beer ! join us for a pint or two or just a meal and we promise you won’t regret it ! open seven days a week for lunch and dinner !
the deal comes three months after millercoors announced it would take over the fort worth area ' s revolver brewing . to date , more than a dozen deals have been announced involving smaller craft breweries and cider companies and mainstream beer companies like ab - inbev and millercoors .
karbach has grown rapidly since its launch in late summer 2011 . last year , it produced 55 , 000 barrels of beer and it is on track to make more than 80 , 000 this year .
high end president felipe szpigel cited karbach ' s love street kölsch as an example of a lower - alcohol , or
session ,
beer that will fill a niche in the ab - inbev portfolio .
karbach , which took its name from the germanesque name of the brewery ' s street address , is backed by the owners of belukus marketing , an importer based in college station that does business in 46 states .
the menu features not just pretzels , pizza and burgers , but also gulf shrimp and grits , a charcuterie plate and a grilled flatiron steak served with butter infused with karbach ' s bourbon - barrel - aged hellfighter porter .
he said he first visited the karbach brewery during a site visit to houston about a year and a half ago and as he talked with the owners and brewers ,
i really fell in love with what they are doing .
with four 30 - barrel and four 60 - barrel fermenting tanks , karbach will have a production capacity of about 4 , 000 barrels annually . since belukus owns the brewery building , it can expand onsite by moving its importing warehouse elsewhere .
karbach is a fun spot with a large , open patio area with covered sections and plenty of fans running during the summer . there are a lot of great beer options . it ' s pretty large , with multiple places to purchase beer .
hopefully , people can take a couple of six - packs of karbach beer to the thanksgiving table ,
warner said one recent morning , while making a test batch of
weisse versa
wheat beer that will be among three year - round offerings .
karbach , founded four years ago by a pair of longtime distributors / importers who brought resources as well as experience to the enterprise , stands out even in an industry where rapid growth is the status quo and where production volume soared in double digits again last year .
karbach ' s arrival has generated excitement among beer enthusiasts . jake rainey , general manager of the city ' s highest - profile beer bar , the flying saucer , said he was blown away when he heard a brewer of warner ' s stature was joining the local scene .
the brewery opens at a time of blistering growth in craft beer around the state . houston ' s saint arnold brewing co . and hill country - based real ale have both vaulted into the nation ' s 50 largest craft breweries . several others have entered the business over the past three years - including , locally , southern star in conroe and , just last december , no label in katy .
the size of the new brewery , which faces dacoma , around the corner from the original facility at 2032 karbach , just outside loop 610 in northwest houston , addresses the immediate needs and leaves room to add on later . warner said the new equipment and automation upgrades also should improve quality and virtually eliminate inconsistencies between batches .
in 2013 , karbach was cited in a new yorker analysis as the second - fastest growing craft brewery in the u . s . and 2014 was a scorcher as well . crews worked around the clock to brew 32 , 600 barrels of hopadillo , weisse versa and other beers , and the only thing that kept them from making more was capacity .
the primary challenge ahead will be to maintain shelf space at stores and tap handles in bars and restaurants , warner said . in that regard , he thinks high - quality local brands will have a distinct advantage . he said karbach plans to expand to the dallas area this year but has no out - of - state plans until at least 2017 .
he also said he is ready to stop and catch his breath . but it will be a short break at best . soon , he ' ll start work on an approximately 30 , 000 - square - foot warehouse at the back of the 7 - acre karbach compound for cold and dry storage , a new finishing cellar and future packaging lines .
those resources are evident in the sleek restaurant and bar , which will be open daily and offer an evening food service featuring what chef joseph stayshich calls
elevated pub fare .
thursday afternoon stayshich , who most recently spent five years at the rice village benjy ' s , served samples to karbach co - owners ken goodman and chuck robertson and their top managers .
thank you for your interest in hosting an event at karbach ! we have excellent options for your event including an indoor room that can accommodate approximately 185 people and a space outdoors in our shaded biergarten . we strongly urge you to visit the brewery before booking your event to see the facility . please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or to arrange a walk through .
i had a very good food , drink and service experience at karbach brewery . i imbibed a flight of tasty fresh brewed on the premises beer including some which were cask aged . surprising to me , fresh cod was used in the fish and chips i ate in their restaurant ( frozen cod is normally used in houston restaurants which serve fish and chips ) you can definitely taste the difference . i do recommend this restaurant .
in the past i ' ve liked karbach , good beer , fun events , like brews cruise and fun beer runs in college station . this weekend , i got to actually visit the brewery for my first time for the love street music festival . the headliner was bleachers and my husband and i were so excited ! my husband had tried to see bleachers in the past , but that concert was cancelled due to the musician ' s illness . we were finally going to get to see bleachers at this music festival ! we even bought $ 125 vip tickets , bought t - shirts , got a hotel room to make the most of the experience , and took time off of work the next day . on the way to the festival we got rear - ended in a hit - and - run accident . but we weren ' t going to let that bring us down , we were going to get to see bleachers ! but then weather happened . and the festival got called off ( with awful communication about the event ' s weather plans ) . and we didn ' t get to see the band we paid big money for . and we didn ' t get a refund . now we are out $ 654 and we don ' t have anything to show for it . needless to say , we have some karbach ptsd after that experience , and probably won ' t be returning to karbach or drinking the brews for a very long time .
i came here for the spring branch management district livable study meeting # 2 reimagine long point . thank you very much karbach for hosting in the private area upstairs . it was a very nice and new venue for an up and coming area . there was plenty of parking in the lot across the street . there was a parking attendant but love that there was no forced valet . the food spread was great . the beer was tasty too . i am not a beer lover but i prefer mine ice cold vs cold .
it was my first time ever going to karbach . if you go during happy hour , don ' t go to the outside bar , go in the restaurant . the restaurant smelled good and good service , but didn ' t grab any food , ended up eating a gross meal down the street , but we should have totally stayed . they have great seating , a gift shop , they were selling tickets to a couple of bands perform in the summer including bleachers . i recommend the brewery tour , the brewery is quite expansive , but it is worth going !
this is the review for the dining experience that i had . the outdoor experience is free and quite fun . the tokens are a great trend and i appreciate the glasses and how the designs change . while we dined , we experienced a lot of issues . first of all , it took 10 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us after we were seated . i was in a party of 5 and we just wanted some beer . they tried to make us feel better by giving us samples of
beer that isn ' t even available for customers
and it made us all uncomfortable . the lox plate is absolutely disgusting - - a sad attempt at something karbach should never attempt . i would only recommend the korean chicken . also , when i asked about how the chicken was seasoned , i received a really negative attitude from the waitress who said
since i ' m a new yorker , i should be able to handle the heat .
i felt disrespected since i ' d only lived in new york for 4 . 5 months as of then . don ' t dine here . bring your dog and go play games outside !
i came here for the first time with a group of friends for karbachtoberfest . let me tell you , karbach definitely knows how to throw a great event . parking was probably my only complaint , but i can ' t hold that against them when the weather was great , and everyone and their mom wanted to be outdoors and hear awesome music and drink tasty beer . i found street parking down the street and walked into the restaurant to meet friends . the staff at the door was helpful in explaining where everything was and what time the tours and events started . we decided to grab a meal from the restaurant because we knew we wanted to try out a few beers . our waiter was the man ! he was super friendly and had answers to all our questions . he gave suggestions on what beers paired well with our meals . i decided on fish and chips and let me tell you , it was delicious . the fish was nice and flaky , and has a crispy batter . it sat on top of hand cut fries and was served with a remoulade . pour a little vinegar on top and a squeeze of lemon and you got yourself a meal ! i drank their lemon and ginger raddler with it which was a perfect pairing . nice and refreshing , but not too filling . i didn ' t have high expectations coming in , but they really do serve quality food . everyone at our table enjoyed their meals . so for karbachtoberfest , they have different bands play each weekend . they have food trucks outside as well if you want to go that route . i saw the waffle bus and buttz food truck . admission was free , you just have to buy tokens for beer . there are different options as far as tokens go , but it basically boils down to what kinda drinking vessel you want . a cool karback glass or a even cooler beer stein or mug . i went with a glass and it came with two regular and one specialty beer token . my first drink , i went with the f . u . n . series 16 : nigel which is a barleywine aged in oak barrels . now that was a tasty beer ! i also tried the karbachtoberfest and another raddler before i was just too full for any more . the band playing was the tontons and they really rocked . they have a new fan in me ! i ' ll definitely be back for future events . it ' s really great to have so many options in our city for top notch breweries !

houston ' s newest brewer comes to town with an impressive track record , the backing of a pair of texans with two decades of experience in the beer business and
a lot of expectations on us to do some exciting things .
eric warner was at the well - regarded flying dog brewery in colorado for a decade , as brewmaster and then as chief executive . while there , the brewery came out with such beers as snake dog ipa , double dog double pale ale , gonzo imperial porter and dogtoberfest märzen .
packaging — in 12 - ounce cans , meant to fit the lifestyle of active texans - should follow shortly .
owners chuck robertson and ken goodman have a long history in the beer business , having also founded the cr goodman distributorship in 1983 .
selling their texas distributorship in 2008 allowed the two men to pursue another goal , opening a production brewery . that happened around the time warner was leaving flying dog , and discussions soon were under way .
as a construction crew smoothed concrete floors in the new brewery , warner said he loves the chaos and excitement of getting a new project off the ground . but he said he sees his texas adventure as a
medium to longer - term
commitment .
er to be called sympathy for the lager in hope of boosting the style ' s reputation among craft - beer lovers .
obviously ,
he said ,
we want to get our everyday beers dialed in first .
rates now at 4 . 12 % apr - $ 225k mortgage for $ 1 , 664 / mo
texans paid $ 500 , 000 to anti - abortion activists . here’s what they got .
but to truly understand what the fast - growing houston craft brewery is about , and where it ' s heading at an astonishing rate , pay close attention to the fortress - like bunker where the new fermentation tanks are stored .
there are six of them , each requiring 20 hours to fill to its 600 - barrel capacity . the giant tanks are suspended in the air , held in place by a steel - and concrete - reinforced roof from which they protrude to the height of a four - story building .
we can do in a little less than 24 hours what would ' ve taken us two - thirds of a week before ,
brewmaster eric warner said during a preview of the $ 15 million brewery this week .
then , pointing to some easily removed drywall and the construction site on the other side , he added ,
we ' re getting the next bunker ready for future tanks .
he and his team are already making beer there and plan to open the brewery to the public on or about may 15 , slightly behind the originally announced first - quarter target date .
the facility goes live as the industry continues an enviable upward trajectory . in 2014 , craft sales rocketed ahead 18 percent even as overall beer production rose a mere half - percent , the industry trade group reported at this month ' s craft brewers conference . a record 3 , 418 breweries are now in operation , figures compiled by the brewers association show , and 2 , 051 more were in the planning stages as of dec . 31 .
across greater houston , 29 brewery and brewpub licenses are on file with the state and most of those operations are up and running . in addition , strong brands from other states continue to expand into texas .
craft is here to stay ,
he said .
i have no doubt about that . craft is growing and will continue to take share .
there are 30 million people in texas ,
warner said .
a lot of beer drinkers .
another potential challenge , he added , would be if global giants such as anheuser - busch inbev , which last year made 13 million barrels of beer at its houston plant alone , stop
dabbling
in craft beer styles and begin competing seriously with the karbachs and saint arnolds .
we ' re fortunate because we have the experience ,
he said .
we have the capacity to get the resources .
the new brewery also includes an upstairs event space - close to a dozen weddings and wedding reception are already booked - with a terrace that offers views into the brewhouse behind a two - story glass window . in the evenings , the lighted brewhouse should make quite an impression on drivers along dacoma .
it also comes with around 140 parking spots in two lots for visitors and more air - conditioned workspaces for the brewers .
the effort that went into the public elements reflects the interest craft consumers have in knowing where their beer comes from and how it ' s made . they want to meet the people who produce the product . they expect a quality experience .
computers measure out grains and adjust how coarsely or finely they are ground , depending on what the beer requires . valves shooting liquids between vessels and the fermentation tanks are opened and closed automatically based on individual recipes . there ' s even a clean - in - place system that automatically cleans and sterilizes the tanks between batches . an expanded laboratory will allow for more precise testing at various stages of production , one of just a handful of tasks still done by hand .

this review is for the memorial day weekend 2018 art festival on sunday . basically , it sucked . hard . it was advertised as a free art festival at the brewery . i just wanted a pint and walk through of the art booths . we live nearby and just had an hour or so to kill . we weren ' t there to get drunk or to sit around drinking beer all day . just a pint at the art festival . as advertised . that was apparently too much to ask for at an art festival at a brewery . when we get there , there doesnt appear to be very many art booths at all . they had a swag store where you could buy merch like t - shirts and souvenir glasses . at this point , i ' m ready to buy a $ 30 shirt , 2 souvenir glasses and one single pint . sound good ? no , it turns out you have to purchase 3 pints a time under a ridiculous ticket system . not being an alcoholic and not having all day , i want to buy one pint at a time . it was totally ridiculous . so , we are there in the tiny store with our little kid being expected to purchase three pints to get the one pint we want . as people start coming in , we leave without buying anything . again , not being an alcoholic , i don ' t like having a system that forces me to buy 36 ounces of beer when my wife and i want to share 12 ounces ( a pint , i think ) . 36 ounces is a lot of beer . it ' s totally the principle that is making me not like this deal . maybe the art festival will be worth it . there ends up only being like one or two booths with art in it . there was a coffee booth and i ' m like , its 95 degrees ! the art sucked and we ended up getting a snow cone for kiddo and sat in the beer pavillion drinking water , no beer , and a snow cone . kiddo was hilarious , loving the snow cone . but , she will be happy doing almost anything . back to the festival . . . epic fail . please don ' t assume all your patrons will want to buy 3 pints at a time or spend every weekend at your brewery so they will be fine redeeming their tickets later .
we went here for a retirement party for our cousin . the biergarten was really cool , and holds plenty of people . the beer was flowing and was extremely good , the weisse versa was my favorite . it was pretty hot , so we consumed a lot of product . i would love to go back in the spring or fall when it ' s a lot cooler . we also ate in the restaurant , which was excellent . great service and cool air conditioning . my only complaint / question would be , why is beer $ 5 . 14 at the brewery uncanned , and probably $ 1 . 50 at the store , canned and shipped ? makes no sense ? ? does it ? your buying it straight from the supplier , no middle man , no canning or shipping costs .
came here on a sunday after church for brunch ( menu til 2pm ) and beer . i ' ve had several of their beers before and got my personal favorite , the staycation . for brunch i got the crab cake benedict with arugula salad and potatoes . the potatoes were seasoned well but dry - nothing ketchup won ' t fix . i wish there were two benedict ' s but it came with just one . the crab was very stringy and fluffy and i enjoyed it a lot . the arugula salad had a light vinaigrette dressing that was very fresh and tasty . our waitress was kind and explained the beers on the menu very thoroughly . my friend and i wanted to check out the tour ( free and can buy tokens / glass for beer ) but the man informed us we needed closed toe shoes , which we didn ' t have . so we ended up chilling under the covered patio in the biergarten . the free water they offer is also really good - with a spring taste .
this has become one of my top five breweries ever . the menu and beer selection in the restaurant is simply incredible . prices are fantastic . this can serve as a great date spot or place for a small group of friends . the beer garden is great for huge parties , sunday beer n brunch , or place to just kick it with friends . plenty of tv ' s , easily accessible beer , you can bring out food from inside , plenty of people bringing their dogs . i can ' t get over how much i loved this place . a definite must try . if you read the menu and it sounds good , it is good . just order it and eat it .
monthly art market always fun . today it was ' 94f in the shade so vendors were sparse . still great beer eclectic vendors and artists . dog kid friendly always a couple of trucks with sausages . the vegan option is beer . perhaps they will change to a night market . the markets i went to in spring had a great more artist ,
kfc . try it . its korean fried chicken . magical . get it . i stopped going there when they stopped serving it . they serve it again . amazing .
beer is good . we tried the beer flight and i liked all the ipas . the food is mediocre even for bar food standard . parking was so packed even though the restaurant was not that busy ( ? ) . the ambience is good for a group of friends . overall i would come back only if i happen to be in the area .
this is great place to go for some day drinking . i love the beer and the casual ambiance . you can order food from the restaurant or one of the food trucks . kids are welcome . check their schedules for live music .
awesome choices the samplers were good . i ' ve attached the samples here . the beers are bomb the fish and chips is one giant fish just heads up in that
happy hour , $ 3 mainstay draft beer 3 - 6 m - f . no food on happy hour but food is very good . i had the korean fried chicken and it was spot on , the pickled carrots was just enough to tone down the spice .
“the korean fried chicken consisted of crispy , chile - glazed chicken , housemade kimichi , togarashi , and scallions . ” in 70 reviews

apart from the establishment of numerous iron foundries around the middle of the nineteenth century and the somewhat abortive early attempts at iron smelting in nsw , victoria and tasmania , the iron and steel industry in australia started in 1875 at a site near lithgow , nsw , some 150 km west of sydney . james rutherford , an american by birth , had connections with the early transport company , cobb and co . , and could provide some capital towards an establishment , the rest being supplied by residents of bathurst . nearby there were supplies of needed raw material , iron ore , limestone , coal and water together with a rail linkage with sydney ; seemingly all the ingredients for a successful iron making venture .
the city docks are situated 7 miles up the river avon in the heart of the city and are mainly used for continental and coastwise traffic . alongside the docks are public quays , transit and other sheds , a granary , tobacco warehouses , and many private wharves , factories , and timber yards .

the wire netting works adjoin the constructional engineering works and include departments for the manufacture of tanks and cisterns , agricultural requisites , hollow - ware and other articles made from sheet iron .
the collection also reveals the impact of the first world war , and particularly the second world war on both production and workers through the significant contribution that the sankey works made to the war effort in producing armaments and supplies for the armed services . the employment and production records , and some of the company histories and in - house publications provide an insight into the experiences of sankey employees during the period , and the sales catalogues and advertising material in the collection can be used , together with the financial and production records and the product photograph albums , to chart the development of sankey products and manufacturing methods during the course of a large part of the twentieth century .
the building is the cornerstone of a £50 million development of lysaght parc by linc crymru . a great number of local residents remember the building from its glory days when it was a key part of their day - to - day lives . the developers were keen that its illustrious past was not lost in its refurbishment , but incorporated into a modern community hub .
