Saint Arnold Army Newsletter

Dear Saint Arnold's Army:

 

Nothing says Holiday Season in Houston

Like a high of seventy five,

Christmas Ale running low on the shelves

And family about to arrive.

 

They're coming to eat, drink and be merry,

Winter's a couple days out,

That's if you go by the calendar though..

We say it starts with a Stout.

 
Movie Night at Saint Arnold: Bad Santa 
Monday, December 23
Taps at 6:00 PM, Movie at 7:00 PM


Tired of all the good cheer and stupid stupid heads with their stupid Christmas cheer? Fight back and head to the Brewery on Monday, December 23 for a night of being bad. Really, really, bad. We've partnered with the Alamo Drafthouse Rolling Roadshow for the third consecutive year for movie fun in our parking lot, and this time it's the Billy Bob Thornton "classic" Bad Santa. This event is 21 and up ONLY and remember, the movie is a hard R.

 

Please bring your own chair. There will be food from our kitchen available for purchase as well for CASH ONLY! We'll have pretzels, burgers, chili and Frito pie. 

 

Also, since December 23 happens to be Festivus, before the movie starts we'll have an Airing of Grievances Contest, so get your best insults ready. For a refresher on the rules of Festivus, check this out. Feel free to bring your own aluminum pole.

 

You can secure tickets in advance at the link below or pay at the door. $15 admission includes the movie and two pints. Additional beers will be available for purchase. We'll open the taps at 6:00 and start the movie promptly at 7:00.

Tours and Lunches This Holiday Season

We will be open our normal tour and lunch hours this holiday season with the exception of Christmas Day and New Years Day. We will be closed those two days.

If you and your houseguests are looking for a delicious lunch over the next couple of weeks, let our Executive Chef Ryan Savoie and our awesome kitchen staff do the work for you. For $19, you'll enjoy a great lunch and delicious beers.

Because we expect pretty large crowds this time of year, you can prepay for lunch on our website. This both ensures that we have delicious food for you (as there is a good likelihood that we will sell out) and that you can show up anytime between 11:00 AM and 1:15 PM. If we do sell out, we'll post it on the website.

See all the details and make reservations on our Lunch page.

Give the gift of Saint Arnold.

Visit the brewery or shop online. That awesome new stein above is available only at the brewery.

Grow a Donegal - Win an iPad
 
Start strategizing your facial hair growth plan since we will again be holding our Donegal Beard Growing Competition. To compete, you must check in with us, clean-shaven, on a tour between Wednesday, January 1 and Saturday, January 4 so we can take your picture. Another option is to send us a picture of yourself on or after January 1 with the day's newspaper (kidnapper style) if you can't get here. Photoshopping the newspaper into an older picture will result in very bad karma.
 
Clean-shaven means no facial hair. Sideburns must be cut at least halfway up the ear. Judging will occur at our annual St. Patrick's Day Party on Monday, March 17. The winner will be awarded an iPad. Previous winners are ineligible to win for two years. We will be seeking qualified, independent judges for the finale.
 
If you are emailing a photo, please send it to jeremy_johnson@saintarnold.com.
