Musical Box Brewing

Excited to share my updated Top Burgers in Houston rankings, which were previously published last summer! Importantly, I have made the decision to bifurcate the list into two distinctive categories: (1) Classic, or traditional-sized patties; and (2) Smashburgers. For me, the latter increasingly feels like such a distinctive offering from a “regular” burger that I find it challenging to compare my favorites from both categories within one grouping.

Having tried burgers at more than 100 places you can trust these rankings for Houston burger and smashburger spots 🙂

The link to the list is in my bio!

has brewed many of the best beers I’ve ever had, not to mention the fact that has been on one heck of a heater, and so I don’t say this lightly: this new batch of Yappin’ that was canned yesterday might just be the best beer he’s ever produced. If you like hop-drenched hazies with Citra and Nectaron (and Nelson is in there too!), you must drink this beer. It’s only January 3 and this bit of loveliness already has a serious claim to Top Beer of 2026. Pure insanity 🍻🙌🔥
