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.

Before I saw this announcement from Anheuser-Busch, I thought Budweiser was pretty much on par with McDonald’s with billions and billions served across the planet. Apparently, the Vietnamese have been thirsty this whole time as Budweiser will be available throughout Vietnam beginning this month.
Budweiser initially will be available at upscale bars, restaurants and supermarkets in Ho Chi Minh City as well as select chain outlets across the nation.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a press release without a quote from someone in upper management who manages to turn the concept of providing a quality product to valued customers into “we’re doing this because we think we can make a lot of money doing it” in just a few sentences.

Sure, there’s a little election happening in November that you might have heard a little about. But, why wait until then to vote when you’ve got the 4th annual Samuel Adams Beer Lovers Choice to keep you busy (and buzzed?) until we’re neck deep in Obama vs. McCain ads?
This summer, you can exercise your God-given right to choose the next brew in the Samuel Adams family of beers! The candidates are…

1010 WINS-AM in New York City is reporting that Utica Club and Saranac were flying off the shelves over the weekend as people were stocking up following the fire at F.X. Matt Brewery in Utica, who cans for both brands.
The owner of Marcy Beverage in the Mohawk Valley town of Marcy says that after the Thursday night fire, it sold 550 cases of the brewery’s products, which include Saranac and Utica Club beers. One customer ordered 22 cases of Utica Club on Friday. Canning makes up about 20% of business at the brewery but vice president Fred Matt says plans are under way to outsource canning while Matt’s rebuilds.
I can only imagine the hell I’d get if I walked in the front door with 22 cases of beer, so I’ll secretly raise a pint to that gentleman.
