We're now in phase 2 of Gov. Greg Abbott's plan to re-open Texas during the COVID-19 pandemic, which means bars, wine tasting rooms, and breweries can now host people again. We've compiled a list of Houston-area breweries for you to find out just what they're doing.
If a brewery is opening its taproom, it will do so Friday, unless otherwise noted.
Remember: If you're dining or drinking out in public, follow social distancing guidelines (at least six feet between you and anyone else), wash hands often and thoroughly, and consider wearing a face mask.
