Known as the oldest craft brewery in Texas, Saint Arnold Brewing Company sees craft and seasonal beer as a passion, rather than a job. One of their signature spring beers is the Saint Arnold Spring Bock. This award-winning bock takes eight weeks to ferment and age, but the result is a big, deeply flavored lager that has been purposely aged to create a smooth, malty taste with a hint of sweetness. A light addition of German hops balances the malt flavor and is the perfect beer for the new season. In addition to brewing this winning brew, Saint Arnold Brewing Company hosts fun events throughout the year, along with tours of the brewery.
