Saint Arnold Army Newsletter

Dear Saint Arnold's Army:

 

Amber Ale Dry Hopped with Liberty
Available in Stores on Monday
 
To celebrate brewing our Amber Ale for 20 years, we are releasing three 60 bbl Amber Ale batches over the next few months, each dryhopped with a different hop variety (regular Amber Ale is not dryhopped).

The first release will hit stores this Monday, July 21 and is dryhopped with Liberty hops. This is the finishing hop that we use on Amber Ale already and is known for its soft, floral character. So essentially this will be a slightly more intense version of the classic Amber Ale.

The hop aroma pairs well with the maltiness that comes from the pale and caramel malts used in the beer. The light fruitiness is the result of our proprietary house yeast, a signature of many of our beers.

Look for this extremely limited release at grocery and liquor stores in our 22 oz bomber bottles.

Summer Pils Pub Crawl in Downtown This Saturday

We'll be holding our annual Summer Pils Pub Crawl in Downtown this Saturday, July 19. This year, we'll welcome a couple of new places to the fun.

We will utilize our "open house" schedule for the first seven stops, meaning you can visit them in any order. You will get your ticket at whichever stop you decide to visit first. We will be handing out the tickets between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM only. Thus, you still need to start between 2:00 and 3:00. At 6:00 PM, everybody will gather at the final stop, and that's where we will award the prize. The prize for making all the stops will be a glorious Saint Arnold pint glass.

As always, designated drivers are both eligible for the award and encouraged to attend! Here's the layout:

The first six stops starting at 2:00 PM:
  • Brewery Tap
  • El Big Bad
  • Flying Saucer
  • Molly's Pub
  • OKRA Charity Saloon
  • Shay McElroy's
  • Springbok Bar & Grill
The final stop at 6:00 PM:
  • Market Square Park
Remember that cash is helpful, be kind to your waitstaff, and always, always appear in public enjoying a Saint Arnold. We hold those that arrange for transportation to and from or use designated drivers in the highest regard!

Pub Night at Saint Arnold This Friday

Pub Night returns to our air conditioned tour hall this Friday evening, and for the very first time, we'll be tapping a keg of Siembra Azul Tequila Barrel Aged DR14, our Belgian Strong Golden Ale. This is the first beer we've aged in tequila barrels.

Our friend and local artist Carlos Hernandez of Burning Bones Press will also be at Pub Night to debut our new Icon t-shirts, pressed on site from a hand carved woodblock. You pick the color of your custom shirt and watch him hand press it just for you.

As always, we'll also have some delicious food available throughout the evening including our Bishop's Burger, sandwiches and habanero chili cheese dogs.

On Pub Nights, we open our tour hall from 5:00 - 10:00 PM strictly as a bar and let you choose what you want to purchase. There's no entry fee for the evening, so you can just choose beers by the individual glass or bottle. Pub Nights are strictly 21 and up.
