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.
BEER OF THE MONTH
MAY
ME BEER
Doppelbock, 10% ABV, 20 IBU, 100% Awesome
This is a big beer. It’s made with primarily pilsner malt with some Vienna thrown in. We give this beer a long decoction to bring out some amazing caramel flavors without being too sweet. Me Beer is meant to showcase a symphony of what the malt and fermentation can do. As a lager, it is fermented cold, getting it’s ABV to 10%. The result is a beautiful clear, dark hay colored lager that our brewer decided to share with you as piece of himself.
CHOLA
Mexican Lager, 4.4% ABV, 17 IBU
This beauty is canned, kegged, and out in market! Chola is a Mexican-style lager that is just like its namesake – beautiful, proud, and strong enough to stand up to anyone! It’s brewed with 80% pilsner/20% Vienna malts and is hopped with German hops a la the Vienna style lagers that were the origins of this style (Northern Brewer and Perle). This simple but flavorful beer is sure to get you saying Orale!

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.
