My friends and I spent the day on the lake and were looking for spots to hang out after. I've had this place on my radar for awhile as I am a huge fan of visiting breweries everywhere I go. Come to find out days before our trip that Southern Star has decided to shut down at the end of June. Sad to see one of Texas' oldest breweries closing down. I had to get here before they did because their beers are great. It's right off 45 and easy to find tucked away off a side road. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The grounds are beautiful as well as the building itself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside taproom isn't large but the building itself is so I'm wondering they have more hangout spaces.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have a nice deck where a lot of people were hanging out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Customer service was great. Most everyone in our crew got a flight so we could try a few things. Prices here are excellent and won't break the bank. That's what I love most about breweries. I went with the Strawberry Blonde, Southern Brunch (citrus shandy), Texas Lager, and Pit Stop (cherry cider). I really enjoyed them all especially the Southern Brunch. My friends ordered some apps for the table such as fried pickles, fried mushrooms and waffle fries. They came out piping hot and were all tasty. I saw some pizzas leaving the kitchen and they looked excellent. They also had deals on whole cases of beer for 20 bucks. Killer deal that my friend took advantage of. Sad to see this place is closing. Great breweries are a dying breed from what I have read. If these places weren't so far I would support them more. I wish everyone in the company well and hopefully see them come back in the future. read more

Brewery #386 This was my 5th and final brewery of the day (no worries, I spaced them out, so my senses were still intact.....I think). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Southern Space was down a tree lined road kind of in the woods in a very nice space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I didn't get to see what the outside area was like (If there was one) but I did see they had a large front porch to hang out at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got here around 8 or 9 pm and I ordered my usual flight. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was happening; country music was playing which is not to my taste but at least it wasn't quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My flight consisted of a Bombshell Blonde, a Bombshell Hefeweizen, Bombshell Smash IPA, and a Valkyrie (DIPA). Why isn't this place just called Bombshell brewing? Anyway. The beers were all decent but nothing that wow'd me. If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably have been the Hefe. They had a kitchen onsite serving up burgers, pizzas and all the fried apps that places usually do. Unfortunately, we had already eaten so I can't really report on that. read more

Southern Star Brewing - Standard flight and sticker pic - Breweries Near Me - Conroe, Texas

Stopped into Southern Star shortly after we moved her to check them out. Not a bad little brewery. We were really impressed by the Bombshell Blond Ale and the Buried Hatchet Stout. These were two really good beers. After that, the other options were not as appealing or tasty. Little disappointed that they only had a limited amount of beer on tap but [[HIGHLIGHT]]really enjoyed the upstairs section of the brewery. Nice views outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The beer tenders were not the friendliest of people and really expected more out of them for a weekday afternoon. Overall, a good experience and worth stopping in to see what they have to offer read more

I visited Southern Star Brewery for the first time this past weekend for a friend's event and I was so impressed! While there, I tried a bunch of the beers (definitely check out their Stout), did a brewery tour and enjoyed meeting new people! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The brewery itself is very clean, well laid out and great for big groups (we were in their upstairs event space).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As for the staff... you won't find a friendlier group of people. The owners and bartenders were all there to chat, answer questions and share their knowledge about their beers. This was such a fun place to visit for a Saturday afternoon and I can't wait to visit again! read more

If you love burgers like I do, check out Southern Star Brewing Company burgers. If you're like me, you eat your fries first and then your burger. Here, it was the opposite. I had the double patty and I didn't put it down. It has a buttery soft bun with crunchy pickles and some sort of magic sauce! read more

Southern Star Brewing - Beer flight - Breweries Near Me - Conroe, Texas

I came across to one of your vendors today at the HEB off of buffalo speed way in houston, I was nice and asked him for a sample of the beer, he said he wasn't giving more samples with a nasty attitude, I kinda felt bad cause he had a six pack right on the table, as I was walking away a customer(white) was coming across in front of him(vendor) he inmidiatly proceeded to nicely offer him a beer sample, acting very nice I'm cool now but at that moment I felt infuriated, I went back and told him he was a piece of crap, that MF is not in Conroe , you can't bring your racism here, I got over it now I just wanna express my self read more

Best burger I've had in the Houston area. Really good patty, cheese, bun. Wife loved the pickles. Beer, as always, was on point.

I almost rated 3 but since I came in a Sunday, I'm boosting to 4 as it was probably just slow. Crawfish review will be on "D's cookin" The place itself is cool on the inside, there is one arcade game the kids played on. Outside is huge with picnic tables. The outside bar was closed, i hear they have live music on fridays and Saturdays in the big stage. The beer was great, I've tried bombshell blonde on tap at other pubs. The reason for no 5, the place was a little boring. I would like to give it another shot on a Friday or Saturday. I am. It usually bored at breweries on Sunday's though... read more

Burger was absolutely epic. I got mine with extra grilled onions and the practically melted into the meat sauce was perfectly proportioned. All the flavors and textures meshed together perfectly nothing overpowered any other part. Battered waffles fries perfect side super crispy yet soft inside. Hazy IPa was among my favorites as well super smooth and strong nice and drinkable. read more

Very poor quality. Can't get the rank taste out. Was very disappointed. Seems strange they cuddle up to HEB and produce this.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Super chill spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Stout was amazing and tried a sample of their new light lager. It was great. Will be back for sure. read more

Amazing food, service, and drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We come here almost every weekend, great location and staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Been here a few times now. Every time the food comes out timely as well as being delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is also fantastic, they play the ball games during football season.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is also very friendly and responsive! Definitely should check it out!! read more

Stopped in over Labor Day weekend with my son from Ohio. Enjoyed a few beers and also ordered the smash burger which was incredible. We also ordered the mushrooms, pickles, and loaded fries. The appetizers were the best I've had in a long time. Give em a try next time you are in the area. The beer was also great read more

The beer was great. I ordered a flight. This included five beers in a generous size. They were all delicious. My only complaint is no food other than a limited d menu food truck. I got a greasy grilled cheese. It was very good but the grease on it about killed me!!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was horrible. They need to do some decorating![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Well, google will bring you to the middle of the road. Keep driving and there is a small sign that says Southern Star and will lead you down a long paved pathway. The tap room is upstairs, so a/c and indoors is a plus. Buy tickets first at the merchandise area and then head to the bar for the beer. They have games, a tv, small snacks, and a food truck outside. read more

Great Service and love the taproom vibes! Can't wait to see all the new changes and looking forward to all the events that will be taking place. read more

Very cool spot to go visit if you love beer... now this is an interesting spot because I don't drink beer and not a big fan of beer. However, I found out there's an amazing beer here that I loved! This place is clean, spacious and has lots of space for parking! There's a beer for you here.. and even me! I spoke to the employee who I told I really don't like beer or drink. He suggested the blood orange beer and I tried it! It was really good! I even had a second one since the taste was clean, fresh and not so "beerish" We got a beer tour as a group and it was pretty cool to hear the story behind the beer! You also have the option of getting a beer pint glass with your purchase beer tasting! Genius! I also want to point out they support our troops 100% and donate to a great cause! There is a bar stool for all the fallen soldiers, which is very special. The staff is cool and nice and welcoming! Definitely a brew house to visit! read more
