Pumpkinator Release & St. Arnold’s Most Interesting Man In The World Video


St. Arnold’s
Pumpkinator started out as part of their Divine Reserve Series.  It was so well recieved when it was released back in 2009 that they decided to brew this Imperial Stout/Pumpkin Ale again as a seasonal.  The Imperial Stout base has lots of pumpkin added to it and was dry spiced.  Pumpkinator has been sitting in the tanks since late August until it was just bottled and released today!  People were lined up before 10AM in Houston to get their 4 bottle allotment.

Saint Arnold Sailing Santa Blends Christmas & Hops

Guess when this one might be released.  Saint Arnold Brewing’s (Houston, TX) Sailing Santa is a blend of Elissa IPA & Christmas Ale.

About Elissa:
A traditional India Pale Ale, the Elissa IPA is very hoppy with a properly balanced malty body. Elissa has huge hop additions in the kettle that give it a wonderful bitterness and is then dry-hopped in the fermenter to create the pleasant floral, hoppy nose. Our reverse osmosis water makes the bitter very soft with no harsh notes to it. The maltiness is derived from British Maris Otter malt. Its rich flavor stands up to the hops that would otherwise dominate this beer. The Elissa is an authentic version of an India Pale Ale (IPA) Read the rest

You Decide: Santo X or Santo Y?

Head down to their tour on Monday night from 6pm – 8pm and you will get to sample two freshly brewed editions of Santo: X&Y.  You will receive a ballot to vote and help select the winner!

The difference?  St. Arnold brewed a new batch and split it in to two tanks.  They then pitched it with two … Read the rest

“This is the first beer we have ever brewed that started with the packaging, The process started over four years ago. We originally commissioned Carlos to design new packaging for Saint Arnold Brown Ale. We loved what he came back to us with, but somehow it didn’t fit the Brown Ale. Thus began our work on creating a beer to fit the packaging, an odd process for us. The final result Read the rest
