Roosevelt on March 22, 1933, authorized the sale of 3.2 percent beer (thought to be too low an alcohol concentration to be intoxicating) and wine, which allowed the first legal beer sales since the beginning of Prohibition on January 16, 1920.

WhAT tHE HEll Is A MUd TUrTLEHoustonians were actually mocked as “Mud Turtles” throughout the rest of Texas because of how filthy our city was. We had no clean water, no streets and a significant portion of our population was drunk at any given point in time because one of the only sanitary beverages was beer (certainly not bayou water). Ask your server about registering as part of the Mud Turtle Program and begin to learn about delicious beers as you drink them. There are also some great prizes involved. Want to Go to Belgium on our dime? You can make it happen. We promise as you climb the Mud Turtle ranks, you’ll learn a ton about beer and appreciate it more than ever.

“Most people hate the taste of beer—to begin with. It is, however, a prejudice.”

- Winston Churchill

“A tavern is a place where madness is sold by the bottle.” - Jonathan Swift

IBU An abbreviation for the International Bitterness Units Scale, a gauge of beer’s bitterness. What IBUS measure are the parts per million of Isohumulone found in a beer. Isohumulone is the acid found in hops that gives beer its bitter bite.
