Dear St. Arnold’s Army:
QUICK SURVEY, VALUABLE INFORMATION
As seems to be the case, every few years we have a group of business
school students that need a project and we need some information. It’s a
symbiotic relationship. So help them get an “A” and help us get some
info. It is a very short survey and should take 5 minutes or less to
complete. We’re especially interested in everybody’s zip code as we are
scouring the city for a potential new location for the brewery.
Here’s the link:

After that hard work, you should now reward yourself with a Saint
Arnold!
FUN AT BOONDOGGLES IN THE CLEAR LAKE AREA THIS SATURDAY AFTERNOON
People living south of downtown have often requested that we do more in
their neck of the woods. Well, this event should fit the bill! This
Saturday, September 15 at Boondoggles, a keg of Divine Reserve No. 5
and a cask of Oktoberfest (the only one made this year) will be tapped
while merriment breaks out. The tapping will occur at 2 PM and the
merriment will continue until it’s all gone (the beer anyway - the merriment
might continue).
Event: Divine and Oktoberfest at Boondoggles
Date: Saturday, September 15
Time: 2 PM until ???
Address: 4106 NASA Rd 1, Seabrook, TX 77586-6236
COME SEE OUR VIDEO BLOGS
We’ve added a couple more Saint Arnold Video News blogs on our website,
so go check them out. The latest is all about Divine Reserve No. 5
and the previous one is about delicious Assburn hot sauce which is made
locally and uses Fancy Lawnmower Beer as an ingredient. Assburn also
won 1st place in the Commercial Pepper Sauce category last month in
Austin’s Hot Sauce Festival. (Background noises make the audio a little
tricky early on in that blog, but it gets better.)

AND NOW, APPEARING TOMORROW, DIVINE RESERVE NO. 5
Yes, the much anticipated release of Divine Reserve No. 5 will occur
tomorrow, Tuesday, September 11. Most stores will be receiving it
tomorrow, but some have a delivery day later in the week. This beer is a
Russian Imperial Stout and was inspired by Mike Heniff’s winning entry in
this year’s Big Batch Brew Bash. It’s deep black in color with a dark
tan head. The aroma is sweet coffee and chocolate with some alcohol
coming through (it is around 10% after all.) The predominant flavors are
coffee, roast and chocolate. It has a malty sweetness and a hoppy
spiciness. The bitter chases the sweetness but never quite catches up.
It is perfect to enjoy while eating some dark bittersweet chocolate or a
bowl of vanilla ice cream. I went a step further and attempted making
an ice cream float with it - not recommended. We brewed this beer
into one of our larger fermenters, so hopefully those of you who have been
frustrated in the past in your attempts to find a Divine Reserve w
ill be rewarded this time. We also made a very limited number of kegs
of this beer and these will also be going out to select draft
establishments tomorrow. It will be released in Houston, DFW and San Antonio
tomorrow. Word is that our Austin distributor jumped the gun and it
started going out on Friday. For a complete description of this beer:

We are up 28% so far this year, so time to get back to brewing. Thanks
for all of your support!
Cheers!
