Draft Magazine has released its list of America’s 100 best beer bars for 2013, and two Houston bars have cracked the lineup.
Hay Merchant and Petrol Station made the list for their large selections of beer on tap and unique atmospheres. Both bars are new to the honor.
Hay Merchant is popular for having 78 beers on tap, while Petrol Station stands out for being a converted gas station.
Here is what the site had to say about the two winners:
Hay Merchant

This frisky new spot along one of Houston’s main thoroughfares is brick-dressed and brings it with 78 beers on tap, 5 of which are on cask. Not only is the selection deep, but it’s one-of-a-kind: The bar lends barrels to breweries for one-off projects. Plus, the food’s got flair, from fried headcheese to Chicken Fried Texas Water Buffalo.

Petrol Station

This cozy neighborhood hideaway is small, but it hosts a sizable beer selection that makes hopheads in other parts of the state green. Join its active beer-loving community on Facebook and chat about the latest, greatest release, or just head in blindly (you won’t be disappointed) for a burger and beer in this Houston hop spot.
