American Barleywine Expected to Sell Out Quickly After June 12th Introduction

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - June 9, 2008) - Saint Arnold Brewing Company
(www.saintarnold.com), the oldest craft brewery in Texas, is preparing to
introduce the latest edition of its small batch series of craft beer
styles, Saint Arnold Divine Reserve No. 6 on June 12th and 13th. But don't
blink. Saint Arnold Divine Reserve is brewed in very limited quantities and
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.
"Saint Arnold Divine Reserve No. 6 builds on the tradition of American
craft brewers and the result is special treat for anyone who enjoys a big,
strong, high-quality beer," said Brock Wagner, Founder/Brewer of Saint
Arnold Brewing. "We loaded it up with hops, so it is intense, but it is
amazingly balanced and wonderfully full-bodied. We are very proud of it."
Despite a worldwide shortage of hops, the 120-barrel recipe features 225
pounds of hops. In fact, the hops in Saint Arnold Divine Reserve cost more
than all the ingredients in earlier versions of the Divine Reserve series.
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.
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. It has
an original gravity of 1.094 and final gravity of 1.019. More information
