The Houston Brewing Company is a brewery formerly in the village of Houston in Renfrewshire, Scotland. It was attached to, and operated in common with, the Fox & Hounds public house and, as a result of its size, is classed as a microbrewery.[1]

It produces a constant range of seven cask condition ales, alongside a range of seasonal and bottled beers.
