Karbach Brewing Company is a brewery based in Houston, Texas. Since 2016, it has been owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev. It was founded in 2011, when beverage industry veterans Chuck Robertson and Ken Goodman (of distributor C.R. Goodman) joined with Eric Warner, the former brewmaster and CEO of Flying Dog, on a new venture.[1] The brewery is named for its location on Karbach Street in Houston's Spring Branch neighborhood.

In 2013, The New Yorker noted that Karbach was the second fastest-growing craft brewery in the U.S.[2] In 2015, Karbach completed renovations on a $15 million expansion to its brewhouse, which also added an on-site restaurant.[3][4]
Karbach was acquired by Anheuser-Busch InBev on November 3, 2016.[5]
