Saint Arnold Scavenger Hunt Pub Crawl

OUR SECOND SCAVENGER HUNT!
Our first scavenger hunt was so successful we thought everybody would enjoy trying it again. Plus all correct entries have a chance to win a kegerator for their home! The kegerator is being provided by kegerators.com, so remember that website if you are in need of any home draft supplies.

Here is how it works:

Watch the video that we have posted in a few places (in case you have difficulty viewing the one at the bottom of this post). The video will show specific objects with which you need to take a picture of yourself (i.e., have both you and the object in the same photo). All of the objects are in establishments where you can find good beer, and enjoying a Saint Arnold while on your quest may bring you enlightenment! If any of the hints seem obscure to you, remember googling is allowed. Once you have found all of the objects and taken the required photos, you may either upload the photos to any of a number of photo-sharing websites (flickr, shutterfly, etc.) and send the link to lennie@saintarnold.com or print the photos and get them to us at the brewery. The deadline for us to receive the photos is Sunday, November 23 at 11:59 PM. (If you are trying to drop off photos at the brewery over the weekend, there is a little mail slot in our front door.) Make sure you include your name, email add
ress and phone number. Only one person per photo so if a group of you are doing it, you each need to take individual pictures of yourselves with the objects.

All correct and complete entries that we receive will be sent an invitation for that person to attend a party here at the brewery. At that party, we will draw a name and award that person a home kegerator!

So here it is in summary:

Watch the video at below or follow one of these links if you are having difficulties seeing thing one.

Watch it on Youtube
or
Watch it on Myspace


The proof: Take photos of yourself with each item shown in the video.

Send us proof: Either upload photos to photo-sharing website and email the link to lennie@saintarnold.com or bring us the photos. Don't email us the photos or else our server will probably crash.

Deadline: Sunday, November 23 at 11:59 PM

All Correct Entries' Prize: Invitation to a party at the brewery.

Prize: A beautiful home kegerator provided by kegerators.com.

If you have any questions, please contact Lennie at lennie@saintarnold.com. Good luck!

The Saint Arnold Video News: Divine Intervention Edition

DIVINE RESERVE NO. 7 DETAILS
We are now going to be releasing Divine Reserve No. 7 starting Tuesday, September 30 in Houston. Our distributor sustained some significant damage and was closed most of last week. They lost quite a bit of product, but fortunately not in the beer cold box where our cases are kept. Also, not all the stores that would receive Divine Reserve were open last week to confirm orders and it is possible that not all of them will be open yet this week. Thus, we decided it would be prudent to move the release date back one week. Divine Reserve No. 7 will still be released Tuesday, September 23 in Austin, DFW and San Antonio.

If weeks of Hurricane stress has you reaching for the bottle, may we here at Saint Arnold brewing company suggest said DR-7. In this edition of the Saint Arnold Video News you'll meet Austin homebrewer Kerry Martin, the gentleman responsible for the recipe and for part of the labor that made DR7 possible.

Uncle Arnies Unidentified Frying Objects (UFOs)

Cookie Dough
2 Sticks of Butter
1 Cup White Sugar
1/4 Cup Pale Malt Syrup
1/4 Cup St. Arnold Winter Stout (plus a couple bottles more to enjoy while you wait) or Brown Ale can substitue
1 Egg
1 Tsp. Vanilla
2 Cups Flour (+ additional for rolling)
1 Tsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 Tsp. Nutmeg
1/4 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder
1-1/2 Cups Oats
3/4 Cup Chocolate Chips & Butterscotch Chips (Any Ratio of the two totaling 3/4 cup, i.e. 3/8 cup each)


Beer Batter
2 Cups Flour
1 Egg, Beaten
1 Tsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Baking Powder
~1-1/2 Cups St. Arnold Winter Stout or Brown Ale

Dough
1. Begin by creaming the sugar and butter together with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
2. Turn off the mixer and then add in the malt syrup, stout, egg, and vanilla. Mix until incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and baking powder.
4. While the mixer is going alternate adding the flour and oats to the butter/sugar mixture and mix until everything is incorporated (be sure to scrape down the sides).
5. On low speed or by hand, mix in the chips until thoroughly incorporated.
6. Chill cookie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Batter
1. With a fork or whisk, mix all the dry ingredients until thoroughly incorporated.
2. Add the beer and beaten egg and mix until no large lumps appear. The mixture will have some pea-sized lumps in it but should have nothing bigger.
3. Adjust the amount of beer as necessary to achieve a consistency of thin pudding or pancake batter. It will vary based on humidity outside and size of the egg, etc.
4. Allow batter to sit for 10 minutes before using.

Fried Cookie Dough
1. Take chilled cookie dough and form into a disc a little less than 2 inches in diameter and about 1/2 an inch thick.
2. Roll in flour until completely covered and dust off the excess.
3. Dip discs into beer batter and cover completely. Remove with a fork or slotted spoon to drain the excess batter. Be sure that the dough is completely covered by batter otherwise it will ooze and boil out during cooking and you will have a hollow sphere of batter and dirty oil.
4. Fry in 375 F peanut or canola oil for 3 minutes or until golden brown and delicious.
5. Enjoy with your remaining St. Arnold beer.
