About New Magnolia Brewing Co
New Magnolia Brewing Co is a brewery and brewpub in the Heights neighborhood of Houston. Its taproom has a feather bowling lane, which the brewery says is the first and only one in Houston. The brewery is family-owned and operated, founded in 2018 and brewed into existence in November 2019.
The name honors the original Magnolia Brewery, which stood on Buffalo Bayou downtown from 1895 to 1935. The goal is to bring attention to Houston's beer history. The taproom pours more than 15 craft beers in an industrial-themed setting.
Feather bowling is an old Belgian game. Players roll wooden discs shaped like cheese wheels down a curved lane toward a feather. The lane was custom-built for this taproom.
It is a family-friendly neighborhood brewery. A comedy open mic called Psych Mic runs on Wednesday evenings.
