Saint Arnold Brewing Company to Unveil Divine Reserve No. 12 at Feast of Saint Arnold

 
dr12_bottle_12_oz-small.jpgHOUSTON, July 11, 2012 - Saint Arnold Brewing Company (www.saintarnold.com), the oldest craft brewery in Texas, wants to make the Texas Children’s Hospital IBD Center the leading center in the country for the treatment and study of IBD related diseases.  With that in mind, on Sunday, July 15th the brewery will host the Feast of Saint Arnold, part medieval feast, part fundraiser for Texas Children’s Hospital IBD Center / Gastroenterology Clinic. 

As part of the celebration, Saint Arnold Brewing will tap a cask of the highly anticipated Divine Reserve No. 12, the first new release of the brewery’s small batch series in more than a year. Saint Arnold Divine Reserve No. 12 is an ‘Old Ale’ inspired by home brewer David Rogers’ winning recipe from the 2011 Big Batch Brew Bash. Rogers spent a day at the brewery earlier this year participating in brewing what the craft beer community is calling ‘DR12.’

The Feast of Saint Arnold will feature dishes prepared by Scott Castell of Saltgrass Steakhouse. Each dish incorporates a Saint Arnold beer or root beer. Dishes of beef, pork, seafood and poultry will fill each table, and diners will be invited to sample each. They can either eat with utensils or their fingers, whatever feels right. Plus, this is no black-tie affair. Attire is ‘brewery formal,’ which only precludes flip-flops. 

“At Saint Arnold Brewing Company, we focus on two things: beer and community,” said brewery Founder/Brewer Brock Wagner. “We feel we are at our best when the two come together. The Feast is the crown jewel of all the events we put on at the brewery. We think St. Arnold himself would be proud.”

The Feast of Saint Arnold Week honors St. Arnold of Metz, for whom the brewery is named. St. Arnold was renowned for his piousness and generosity to the poor as well as his promotion of beer as a safe and healthy beverage.  His actual feast day is July 18.

A limited number of individual tickets for the Feast are available at http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07e61tumtlcbde2161&llr=fhrfcudab. Cost is $95 with proceeds going to the TCH IBD Clinic. Doors will open at 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 15, and The Feast of Saint Arnold will commence at 5:45. The Great Hall at Saint Arnold Brewing Company is located at 2000 Lyons Ave. in Houston.
