Copperhead Brewery is a Conroe-based family-owned craft brewery. Its owners are Seth Earnest, his wife Alicia, and his dad, Mark. The brewery’s name comes from the copperhead snakes common in the Montgomery County area. Whenever possible, beer names at the brewery take on a snake-themed name. Examples include their year-round beers Medusa (a Belgian dark strong), Striker (an American IPA), and Black Venom (their popular Imperial Stout). Seasonal beers are also available such as the farmhouse ale Sidewinder Saison. The brewery prefers “big, aggressive beers” and believes that one “(doesn’t) have to do a light beer to be successful”. This “aggressiveness” shows in their popular t-shirt merchandise featuring an angry-looking copperhead snake. At the brewery, guests can enjoy a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. The indoor area features an air-conditioned taproom. The outdoor area, meanwhile, has picnic tables and games, and can accommodate pets.

B-52 Brewing has an extensive list of craft beers that “push beer brewing into unexpected and surprising territory”. With 19 beers currently on the menu, the brewery’s craft beers are not the only attraction that brings people to their 7-acre location. Co-founders and brothers Chad and Brent Daniel made sure that, when they opened in 2014, their passion for craft beers is evident in each brew. Their unique creations, however, reach new heights when paired with the stunning surroundings. The brewery is located near a national park and the setting is “park-like” amidst towering trees. There are ping-pong tables, live music, and a food truck or three. There’s indoor and outdoor seating in their taproom, and wine, lemonade, or house-made root beer is available for those who didn’t come for the beer. Supervised kids and leashed dogs are also welcome.

According to Cycler's Brewing brewmaster and founder Clay Wick, “cycling and craft beer are kind joined at the hip”. After all, many look forward to a refreshing drink at the end of a long ride. Clay, who once worked for Coors, got “enthralled” with his first taste of craft beer, and subsequently fell in love with the many varieties available. It was then that he knew that he wanted to be a part of the creation process. Located inside the Sam Houston National Forest, Clay, his wife Tina, and the other owners of Cycler’s named the brewery after the sport popular in the forest. Their beers have cycling themes such as the cleverly named Ryed Hard. There’s also the DeRailleur, referring to the “mechanism that transfers the chain from one set of gears to another”. Together with the seven core beers, they also have a set of limited-release barrel-aged beers.
