What the Hell is a Mud Turtle Houstonians were actually mocked as Mud Turtles throughout the rest of Texas because of how filthy our city was. We had no clean water, no streets and a significant portion of our population was drunk at any given point in time because one of the only sanitary beverages was beer (certainly not bayou water). Ask your server about registering as part of the Mud Turtle Program and begin to learn about delicious beers as you drink them. There are also some great prizes involved. Want to Go to Belgium on our dime? You can make it happen. We promise as you climb the Mud Turtle ranks, you ll learn a ton about beer and appreciate it more than ever.
