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.

Do you like mystery? Are you convinced that the DaVinci Code was true? Do you wish you were Indiana Jones? Would a kegerator look perfect in your home? If so, read on!

OUR FIRST EVER SCAVENGER HUNT!
We have put together a scavenger hunt with hidden clues embedded in a video. All of the items that you are seeking are in downtown Houston. Here is how it works:

Watch the video that we have posted in a few places (in case you have difficulty viewing one of the sites). The video will show specific objects with which you need to take a picture of yourself (ie, 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! 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 us the link or print the photos and get them to us at the brewery. The deadline for us to receive the photos is Sunday, August 3 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 address 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.

The first 100 correct and complete entries that we receive will be sent an invitation for that person and a guest to attend a party here at the brewery. At that party, we will draw one of these names and award that person a home kegerator!

So here it is in summary:

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

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

Deadline: Sunday, August 3 at 11:59 PM

First 100 Entries' Prize: Invitation to you and guest to a party at the brewery.

Kegerator Prize: To be drawn from the names of the 100 entries. Kegerator provided by kegerators.com
