Back Pew Brewing makes its home in the hallowed halls of an old church building, but don’t let that fool you into thinking our brewery is conventional. We chart our own course and venture into the beer-brewing unknown. We’re inspired by the unconventional, the strange, and the original. We aren’t afraid to brew boldly, and we never confine ourselves to the straight and narrow. We’re fueled by a passion to create damn good craft beer.
BEERS OF THE MONTH
JANUARY
LUCY
Hefeweizen, 4.5% ABV, 11 IBU
Saint Lucy is the patron saint of wheat, making her perfect for us to name this beer after! 50/50 wheat/barley, this beer derives its banana and clove flavors from the yeast doing their thing.
BOBBY’S IPA
West Coast IPA, 7.3% ABV, 66 IBU
Just as Hobbits like drinking ale, eating tons of food, and socializing while drinking ales and eating food, so does our owner and brewmaster Bobby! For this IPA, we take a ton of Maris Otter Malts, fermented it with a Cali Ale strain, then dry hopped with Mosaic, Citra, Cascade, and Strata Hops. This is a well-balanced IPA with notes of citrus and a slight hoppiness that is perfect for throwing in a mug and drinking by the barrel! Find Bobby’s IPA in your local HEB! Not there? Ask for your HEB to bring it in!

OUR STORY
Bobby Harl, PhD, MBA – Founder and Brewmaster
Bobby’s passion for brewing beer started in 2008 on a home-brew set, and only grew from there. While earning his PhD and MBA at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Bobby also worked with those who came to be his mentors, Steve Scoville and Michael Kwas, who started Little Harpeth Brewing Company. The experience gained at Little Harpeth helped Bobby develop a further appreciation for both the technical and artistic sides of brewing.
In 2014, Bobby returned home to Houston with a dream of crafting beers full of flavor, rich character, and building an awesome place for friends and family to enjoy them. Thus began Back Pew Brewing.
