Known to its faithful followers as Houston’s oldest craft brewery, Saint Arnold Brewing Company will celebrate its 22nd anniversary on June 11. The festivities will feature live music from Wild Moccasins and Khris Royal. Saint Arnold’s executive chef, Ryan Savoie, will DJ, and eats from food trucks including Golden Grill, Coreanos, and The Burger Joint will be available. Fat Cat Creamery will scoop ice cream and offer root beer floats.

There will be plenty of beer, of course, but how about an elevated beer-pouring contest? Contestants will participate in pairs pouring beer from a scissor lift into a bucket on the other person’s head. The champions win a party at the brewery. Competition spots have been filled, but you can still watch the fun.

Need another beer t-shirt to add to your collection? Santo artist Carlos Hernandez of Burning Bones Press will be on hand printing celebratory anniversary shirts. Posters will also be available.
Tickets for the anniversary party are $25 and include three beers and a commemorative glass. Additional beers will be available for purchase.

Saint Arnold: 30 Years of Great Beer and Community Impact

The story has been well documented since June of 1994, when Rice graduates Kevin Bartol and Brock Wagner officially shipped the first kegs of Saint Arnold Amber into the world. Houston’s first microbrewery opened with little, if any, fanfare. Of course, this story would not be so well chronicled if Saint Arnold had, like many
