Galveston Bay Brewing - Food

I was talking to a craft beer industry guy last night and we were disussing how there are many blogs, posts, and comments about the beer at local breweries - but what about the food and atmosphere?

I am here to change that! Though I do have opinions on some of the beers (which I will let you know!), I enjoy eating the food while visiting breweries. Not all breweries have kitchens, some just have food trucks that come on a rotating schedule.

Galveston Bay Brewing has been open for almost 10 years and was originally located on a Farm Market Road off FM517 near SH146. They opened their new location on Marina Bay Dr. in Clear Lake Shores this year. This new location opened up opportunities for a larger more inviting tap room-with a view, more brewery space, and a full kitchen. Any of the staff we have had contact with (brewery and restaurant) have always had great attitudes and have been very helpful. We have been several times and each time I am blown away by the size of the fish fillet on the Fish and Chips plate. This oversize fillet is breaded and fried to perfection leaving the outside crispy and the meat inside tender and moist. The french fries that come with this are so good that even when you are full, but snacking later while finishing your beer, you will still eat the cold fries (don't judge!). You may seriously want to consider sharing this dish! The fried mushrooms are a winner too, but you may need a fork and knife for those! And make sure you dip them into the ranch which is creamy and zesty. The wings they have are also worth checking out! They are crispy and meaty and you can have them tossed in several different sauces. (I did not get a pic of the wings)

Don't forget about their beer... Galveston Bay has some GABF (Great American Beer Festival) award winning beers such as; Captain's Coffee Stout (Coffee Stout) and Bull Shark (Scottish Ale). Along with those, they also have IPAs, Gose, Kolsch, Sours and Lagers - to name a few - on tap. I can't forget to mention my favorite one from them - the Blueberry Blonde Ale.

If you go by Galveston Bay Brewing, send me a message and let me know what you think - of the food and the beer!
