Elder Son Brewing Co., located in The Heights of Houston, is known for its dedication to crafting traditional beer styles, with a particular emphasis on darker varieties. Launched by head brewer Robert Frye, whose passion for brewing began over a decade ago through home brewing sessions with his future brother-in-law, the brewery has grown from a simple hobby to a community-driven establishment. Frye’s journey from neighborhood tastings to regional brewing competitions culminated in the creation of Elder Son, a welcoming neighborhood taproom that fosters connections and friendships through craft beer. The brewery’s ethos revolves around quality ingredients, creativity, and a strong commitment to the local brewing scene.
In the summer of 2024, Elder Son Brewing expanded its presence with the opening of a new location in northern Houston, complementing their existing taproom on North Shepherd. Frequent visitors can often catch the ownership team—including Robert, his wife Melanie, and their partners Chris, Mike, Evelyn, Randall, Elizabeth, Bryan, and Bri—engaging with guests at the brewery. This new spot continues Elder Son’s mission to serve as a gathering place for the community, offering an inviting atmosphere for beer enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
