The guy who runs the place is obviously a satanist. They apparently have about 20 members. Its mentioned in the yelp comments that they charge $666 for membership. I guess they get a black robe. satanictemplehouston.org Gross Don't waste you time Hot! Overrated Beer Evidently a couple of weeks ago, Brash Brewing in Houston teamed up with the Houston Satanic Temple to host a black mass. I won't link their site here, but the details are very easy to find on your search engine of choice. Of course, a "legitimate" black mass requires the desecration of an actual Consecrated Host, and the organizers have played coy about whether or not they actually stole a Host from a Catholic parish somewhere. In any case, the whole thing is bizarre as much as it is disgusting to me. Seems odd that a brewing company would go so far to piss off a substantial portion of their potential consumer base. I'm a big beer drinker (and sometimes homebrewer.) I don't think I've had Brash before, but I'd certainly heard of them. On closer inspection, it seems fairly obvious from their logo that they're big on satanic imagery, but I guess somehow I hadn't noticed. Thoughts? I assume I'm way behind on discovering this, but just a PSA in case anyone else is shopping for a six pack and would prefer not to drink a beer involving the desecration of our Blessed Lord. I know it sounds funny, but I find this action strange by the Satanists. I always thought the Satanic church was something tongue in cheek explicitly existing to point out the hypocrisy of Christians. Actually holding a black masses seems counter to this mission. I know there's no consensus with this sect but it seems very strange to me. edit: it appears that this is the Houston chapter of TST, which is supposed to promote "empathy for all". It's ironic that they show their own hypocrisy with this event. So we didn't know what to expect.... just knew the beer would be good. The drive is tucked between two apartment complexes so can be hard to find. Look for the white and black sign that says Brash. You will drive back to a warehouse style building. If you hear heavy metal and see a bunch of guys in black shirts and backwards baseball caps, you are in the right spot. Sort of a skate park meets brewery meets death metal vibe.... not my regular joint but the Abide beer with it's dark aromas of chocolate and espresso with the right hint of sweet is worth it. The Brash beers are dark and pack a bunch. Sample wisely and get some food from the food truck out front. Leave your golf shirt and loafers at home and dust off your old Metallica t-shirt from college. Enjoy! The most metal brewery in history. Satanists are some of the biggest fantasy RPG playing, pale, pasty, fugly nerd losers on the planet. I bet the average annual income for your average satanist above 40 years of age is somewhere between $30-40k per year. They're largely unemployable (a few might work decent gigs in IT). They have lived their lives longing for any kind of attention and this is their hail mary attempt. Just ignore the freaks. a $666 option that includes a fancy black robe and "cult membership." They'll also be collecting donations and supplies for local animal shelters, the heathens. Brash is known for being, well, brash. Their Facebook cover photo literally says "Be polite. Go fuck yourself." Their logo uses a pentagram. They have beers named Pussy Wagon, Cali-Green, and Vulgar Display of Power. None of this is surprising to anyone familiar with the Houston craft beer scene.
