Saint Arnold Army Newsletter

Dear Saint Arnold's Army:

 

Shepherd Plaza Oktoberfest Pub Crawl on Saturday
 
Our annual Oktoberfest Pub Crawl in the Shepherd Plaza neighborhood is coming up this Saturday, September 13. We'll kick things off between 2:00 and 3:00 PM at Mucky Duck where you'll receive your Pub Crawl ticket (as always, it's free!).

From there, you'll hit the next four stops in any order and head to the final stop at 6:00 PM. The prize for making all of the stops will be a Saint Arnold Pub Crawl pint glass! As always, designated drivers are eligible and encouraged! Here is the plan:
 
2:00 - 3:00 PM:
  • Mucky Duck
3:00 - 6:00 PM:
  • Mezzanine Lounge
  • Hobbit Cafe
  • Tavern Orleans
  • McElroy's Pub
6:00 PM:
  • The Stag's Head
We look forward to seeing you out there! Remember cash helps, be kind to your friendly waitstaff and of course, it's bad form to be seen enjoying anything that doesn't have a little Saint in it!
 
While it's not an official Pub Crawl stop, don't forget Star Pizza is in the area with some tasty pizza. Eating is definitely encouraged.

Mandarina Wheat

Our Newest Icon Mandarina Wheat is Now Available
  
As Icon Green rides off into the sunset, Icon Gold returns - this time as Mandarina Wheat, a hop forward and refreshing ale. It has a light pleasant American wheat beer base that shows off the Mandarina hop, an experimental German hop variety with orange notes on the nose, and a pronounced grapefruit flavor in the taste.

This golden slightly hazy beer has a nice creamy head with a lightly fruity aroma. The taste starts with a light hoppy bitter that carries through to the finish although never coming on too strong. The wheat malt provides a soft body that complements the hops while remaining light. The beer is highly refreshing with a nice hop finish that makes you want another sip.

Friday, October 10 and Saturday, October 11
6:00 - 9:00 PM
 
Put on your best dirndl, lederhosen or other Tyrolean duds and come out to our annual Oktoberfest party in our tour hall. You could even be crowned King or Queen of Oktoberfest - we'll have a contest to see who comes outfitted the best.

Chef Ryan will be preparing a special German dinner, and we'll have our regular lineup of beers on tap. You'll be able to enjoy these beers from the commemorative Oktoberfest mug you'll receive. To entertain you, we'll have live music from Chris Ryback - The Accordion Cowboy on Friday and The Dujka Brothers on Saturday.

Tickets are $45 each and include admission, dinner, a pretzel, beer and a commemorative mug. Get your tickets for Friday night here or Saturday night here. Space is very limited.
 
King and Queen of Oktoberfest Contest: We will choose one best dressed man and one best dressed woman each evening using our own highly subjective criteria. The winners will receive $100 each and the envy of all of their Tyrolean serfs.
