Below, you ll find a depository of all beer reviews written by Timothy Malcolm,
Houstonia dining editor and longtime beer writer. Most of the reviews are of Houston-area beers, but there are a few non-Houston beers highlighted.
We were set to publish this piece just before Covid-19, then we shelved it because of, well, the pandemic. We re bringing it out now to re-start the conversation. So, reviews were largely written two to three years ago, so consider them a guide into understanding some of the beers listed. Also, some of the beers aren t available currently or may be out of production; we ll keep them here because you never know when they reemerge.
