The Best Places For Craft Beer In Corpus Christi Texas

Beer lovers all over the Coastal Bend know the best way to beat the Texas heat is with a cold brew. Corpus Christi has a growing number of craft beer venues, from outdoor patios with tasty food that complements hoppy IPAs to comfy lounges meant for enjoying rich chocolate stouts. Top your pint glass off with something new from one of the following Corpus Christi hangouts.

1. Tapology Texas Pub

Bar, Pub Grub

Open daily, with 40 craft beers on tap, Tapology Texas Pub isn’t the joint to come to for just a Bud Lite. Knowledgeable bartenders will help craft beer newbies find their ‘gateway beer’ and assist aficionados in choosing something new. Ever had a beer from a nitro tap? Tapology Texas Pub can pour several out, nitrogenated beers take on a creamier texture and have an enhanced malt flavor. Take it outside to the smoke-friendly patio and lose track of time; the outdoor space was made for unwinding and meeting new friends.

B&J’s Pizza

Beer and pizza are a match made in barley heaven. B&J’s Pizza boasts two locations in Corpus Christi, one that even brews its own beer! An over-sized cooler of beers from around the country (and the world) is a staple at B&J’s S.P.I.D location, a perfect complement to the gooey, melted cheese and airy, soft dough. Prefer a draft over a bottled brew? B&J’s carries an eclectic collection of beers on draft. Regulars can keep tabs on the sours and saisons they’ve downed by joining the Beer Club and earning prizes for every 25 distinct beers tried.
