I Like Lawnmower myself. The Elissa IPA is way too stout for me. They've got seven or eight beers running from wimpy Lawnamower to stout Elissa. They have an occaisional tasting night and even a pub crawl contest. One pub crawl started with pictures on the website, I think. You had to identify the pub and go there to get your ticket punched (and drink another St Arnolds). Fun stuff.

Last February, they had an island crawl onboard a cruise ship. Damm, that was fun. Ask Lucky about it. She works right around the corner from the brewery.

I don't care what other people think. They don't do it very often!
Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.

I have been a couple of times to their Saturday brewery tour and tasting.  The last time I went it was free.  I see that they are charging $5.00 now for the tour. :(

When I went you would get 4 tokens that you would exchange for a sample of one of their beers.  If you did not bring your own mug, the samples would be in 8 oz cups that they supplied.  If you brought you own mug, they would fill it up to 4 times.  They always said that they could not tell where 8 oz was.  :)  I always brought a pint mug and had it filled each time.  I see now that they are giving everyone a tasting glass with tour admission.

The beer garden is inside the brewing area and was not air conditioned the last time I went two years ago.  There was always a big crowd and some groups would bring lunch to enjoy with their beer.  They have a unique six pack recycling program that lets you exchange the six pack carriers for St Arnold merchandise.  More info at: http://www.saintarnold.com/brewery/recycling.html

Thanks, I am going to stop by one Saturady for the tour, and try it out.  O0
The place looked interesting and the web site ever better, maybe we should do a group tour one day 8)

Been there a few times for Houston HASH parties. Pretty cool place and good beer.
I, too, like the Lawnmower beer. Good stuff!
