Buffalo Bayou Partnership Launches Foodie Floats
This spring, Buffalo Bayou Partnership launches Foodie Floats, a series of boat tours featuring local chefs and food purveyors. Our spring series’ inaugural float takes place on April 15 and features a beer and cheese tasting with the Houston Dairymaids and Saint Arnold Brewing Company. As you cruise down our city’s historic waterway, you’ll enjoy local Texas cheeses coupled with Saint Arnold’s award-winning beers.
The Dairymaids, Houston’s official cheesemongers, travel the state to find the best cheeses from local dairies, food artisans and cheesemakers. They bring the cheeses back to Houston where they make them available at some of Houston’s leading restaurants and farmer’s markets. Houston Dairymaids
Texas’s oldest craft brewery, Saint Arnold, has been in business since 1994. Recently, the brewery expanded by moving to a sq. ft warehouse in north downtown where they brew 10 different beers a year, and hold weekly happy hours and other special events. St. Arnold’s
