Saint Arnold Brewing Company, the oldest craft brewery in Texas, is introducing their latest edition of craft beer styles, Saint Arnold Divine Reserve No. 6. If you want it, get moving because Saint Arnold Divine Reserve is brewed in very limited quantities and reportedly sells out at most locations in a day or two.

Saint Arnold Divine Reserve No. 6 is an American Barleywine, which is among the strongest of the beer styles. Although the barleywine style originated more than 100 years ago, San Francisco’s Anchor Brewing is widely credited with popularizing the American Barleywine style when it released Old Foghorn in 1975.

As is the case with each edition of the series, Saint Arnold Divine Reserve No. 6 features a unique recipe and is distinguished from earlier versions by the batch number on the neck label. Saint Arnold Brewing produced fewer than 1,200 cases and a very limited supply of kegs of Saint Arnold Divine Reserve No. 6. It is expected to arrive at select stores in Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas/Fort Worth on June 12 and 13. Each six pack is priced at approximately $15.

Despite a worldwide shortage of hops, the 120-barrel recipe features 225 pounds of hops. And, with a high alcohol by volume content of 10 percent, Saint Arnold Divine Reserve No. 6 is best enjoyed in small quantities at 45°F or warmer.
