19 Breweries, Custom Art, Guided Tours, Prizes, and a Brewery Party to Celebrate Houston's Hazy IPA Scene This October

KATY, TX, UNITED STATES, September 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the relentless Texas heat fades into crisp autumn evenings, Houston's craft beer enthusiasts have a thrilling reason to raise a glass. Beginning October 1st, The Month of Murkey returns for its annual celebration, transforming the city into a playground of hazy IPAs, creative collaborations, and community spirit.

This immersive, month-long event spotlights Murkey Myers—a bold Double Dry-Hopped Hazy DIPA that captured national acclaim with a Platinum Crushie for Best Beer Mascot/Icon at the 2023 Craft Beer Marketing Awards. The Month of Murkey itself has earned back-to-back Platinum awards in 2023 and 2024 for Best Craft Beer Collaboration, solidifying its status as a trailblazing force in the industry.

Uniting 19 innovative breweries—18 local Houston gems and one wildcard from Austin—each participant crafts their own unique spin on Murkey Myers. Renowned artist Chris Hernandez has designed bespoke artwork for every release, blending visual artistry with brewing prowess to create a collectible series that's as captivating to behold as it is to sip. The outcome? A citywide beer crawl that turns Houston's diverse neighborhoods into a vibrant gallery of flavors and designs.

Embark on a Hazy Quest Across Houston
More than just a tasting event, The Month of Murkey is an invitation to rediscover the city's dynamic brewing landscape. Spanning from Sugar Land to Pearland, Katy to Clear Lake Shores, and beyond, participants can embark on a self-guided or escorted journey through Houston's thriving craft beer hubs.

To elevate the experience, City Brew Tours Houston offers specialized Murkey Myers Challenge tours throughout October. These all-inclusive outings provide safe transportation, handpicked snacks, and generous hazy pours, making it effortless to collect passport stamps while soaking in the local vibe.
