Description
In 1965, the doors to the Houston Astrodome opened for the first time. Dubbed the "8th Wonder of the World", this first ever air-conditioned domed stadium coincided with Houston's launch into the global spotlight.
In 2013, inspired by the spirit of Houston, we began brewing beer in a dome-like warehouse in East Downtown. Exploring styles from across the beer world, we offer something tasty for everyone. In 2018, 8th Wonder Distillery was born across the street from the brewery offering a variety of artisanal spirits and delicious cocktails.
We like good beverages and good fun, and we strive to craft both at 8th Wonder.

Draft pour pint at BamBam, Houston IAH. A near black cola pour with an active white fizz head. Tons of coffee on this, and an extremely interesting flavor for sure. Creamy body, milk chocolate, light roast and very low bitterness, despite the coffee flavor being so present. A little on the sweet side, but it's not bothering me. Slight vanilla note. Somewhere between typical chocolate note in a porter, and a dessert beer. Overall, an enjoyable brew here.
