Like beer and pizza or beer and wings, beer and chips are a pair that just makes sense. That's why this duo is the focal point of the Beer 'N Chips Art Festival this year in Houston. On Sunday, June 18th, 11 Below Brewing hosts the special event that brings together craft beer, crispy chips, and local art.

More than 50 of Houston's artists bring their unique masterpieces to 11 Below Brewing so that guests can ogle the colorful works while they sip on brews crafted in house. The fresh chips are supplied free of charge to complement the beers, so just bring some cash for the suds. Even those who aren't big fans of craft beer will still enjoy a trip to the free festival since original works of art will be displayed here that you can't see anywhere else in your area. Don't miss this fun festival!
