2101 Summer St

We finally have our buffaloes in a row and we are fully moved in to our new home, a 3-story, 28,000 sq ft brewery. The first floor houses our brew floor, an indoor bar and seating with an adjacent dog-friendly patio. Moving up to the second floor we have our restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the Sawyer Yards trains and Houston skyline. Keep going up to the third floor and you will walk out to a rooftop patio with incredible views of downtown Houston and our Sunset Gallery and Terrace.

We never planned to outgrow Nolda, but you demanded it. 9 years ago, when we found our home at 5301 Nolda St, it was an abandoned warehouse that needed some TLC. We didn't have much money, but we poured it all into bringing that old boat storage site up to modern-day building codes. 

We brewed more in our first year than we expected to, and you told us to brew more. We added tanks. We never planned to can, but you told us to, and we obliged. Now we're brewing more than we ever have! We busted at the seams at Nolda, and you told us to brew more… so we did.

In 2019 we moved into...

Brewtopia

The First Ward radiates creative energy. There is genius literally bouncing off the walls. 40 acres, 10 buildings, 400+ Studios, 500+ Artists… the largest concentration of Artists in Texas, second largest in the US… all within a short stumble of our future taproom!!! The ecosystem built on the Sawyer Yards Creative Campus is beyond words. We are humbled and inspired to join such an incredible community.  

You put it on the walls, we'll put it in a glass. Forget Physics, forget Chemistry, we will be limited only by our imagination.

We've always prided ourselves in being Houston's Most Creative Brewery. We've never played it safe, we've never cut corners, we've always challenged ourselves and our fans to push past the standard expectations and through to the next big idea.

There is literally nowhere on the planet that we wanted to build our new home. This is the only place we could be.

9 Years - 100+ Beers - 583 Bosses

We care about Houston. It's the only reason we exist. You are the only reason we exist. We get up and do this for you.

You've been good to us. We want to give back. We want to share our success with you. We started Buff Brew back in 2011 because no one was making the beer we wanted to drink. People were playing it safe. They weren't taking creative risks, and they weren't pushing you, the consumer, to challenge the idea of what's possible in beer.

What's more local than a local brewery owned by local people opening up their balance sheet so that local people can participate in every aspect of the brewery from the ground up? For the first time in Houston's history, beer lovers got a chance to participate in a local brewery's financial success.

We partnered with the badasses at NextSeed to raise $1 million for the new taproom in the new brewery. We knew we have a fantastic group of people supporting us, but $1M in four months? That's crazy talk!

Well sh*t... 

In 6 weeks, we hit the $1M ceiling with 583 individual NextSeed investors, the fastest funding raise to $1M in NextSeed history!

There's nothing we can't accomplish thanks to all the love and support from all of you over the past 9 years

2018 was incredible

2019 blew that away

2020 we are still here and making many more beers

2021 you are finally here!

Thank you.
