St. Arnold's Pub Crawl is so much fun!
The Houston brewery puts these on every year, or more often if you're lucky. Basically, you get a punch card at one of five local bars that are all close to each other. At each pub, you get your St. Arnold's card punched. Get them all punched, and collect a free special edition pint glass! Score! Prost!
St. Arnold's is the oldest independent brewery in Houston, the city's first real microbrewery. They've since moved to a bigger and classier location to churn out the beer! They offer a bunch of favorites, and usually some cool seaonals. Be sure to check out a different St. Arnold's beer at each stop!
You'll be sure to know where the crawl ends- you'll find St. Arnold's Art Car, plastered with St. Arnold's art, in the style of the Houston tradition and infamous Art Car Parade.
Did you know that Saint Arnold is the patron saint of brewers? In order to become a saint, you have to perform some miracles. St. Arnold's was that he and some thirsty worshipers were going on a pilgrimage, and came across an empty house, where they found a single beer, and a mug. They poured the beer into the mug, and started passing the beer around to the thirsty monks- but as they passed it around, it never went empty! The beer kept providing sustenance and booze to the monks until they could drink no more. It was a beer miracle! St. Arnold was canonized, as this beer obviously came straight from Heaven.
When I went on the Pub Crawl, it was through Southtown, ending up in the Blue Star area. read more
