Greeting everyone… today the wife and I went down to see some friends in the Houston, TX area. I ran across an ad on tv for the Saint Arnolds Brewing Company. I told the wife that we had to check it out. They have tours on saturdays, but that makes it well worth the wait.
If you did not know the patron saint of beer is Saint Arnold. I personally did not know this but this brewery certainly does live up to it religious heritage. The brewery was a very fun time. They make a great variety of brews to fit any pallet. They have a great tasting room at the end of the tour and you even get to keep a souvenir glass for the memories. So if you are ever in the Houston area make sure you stop by the Saint Arnold. Here is the tour webpage.
This week the wife and I drove down the line to the oldest brewery in the United States, the Yuengling Brewery in Pottsville, PA. The brewery was very old looking but fun. The tour was free, but make sure you call ahead to make sure they are running the tour. For those of you that have not had the opportunity to have a Yuengling beer you are missing out.
And this year they actually have the cave area open which is great time. They have a very nice gift shop and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. So if you are a fan of beer, then this tour is must before the big man upstairs says last call.
This week we wanted to visit the home of our second favorite beer the Budweiser Brewery. When we got there the brewery was just massive. The tour is free and had a lot of history to learn about both the Brewery and St. Louis. There is a lot of walking so make sure you bring your walking shoes. I would recommend it though as a great place to stop on a cross country roadtrip.
Below is a nice video about the tour and there is even a website.
