kylejack Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I wonder if there's any ways around this law. What if they were to "sell" a small piece of their land to a convenience store operator who only sells St. Arnold's beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Yes, St. Arnold's sent me an e-mail about that bill on their mailing list and so I contacted my state legislators to urge them to support it, but they never replied to me.Lobbyists for the Texas beer distributors contribute millions to Our Legislators to keep the highly lucrative system in place. Jessica Farrar says she'll sponsor a new bill in 2011; she's my rep & I'll keep voting for her. (Not just for the beer!)After visiting the fine new St Arnold brewery & sampling some beer, folks will drop by the gift shop. Where they will find a selection of t-shirts for sale. Perhaps some of them will write their representatives about their desire to support Texas businesses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanith27 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I can go to Messina Hof and buy wine at the winery, so I should be able to go to St Arnolds and buy beer at the brewery. Attention politicians: this is not rocket science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTAWACS Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Anyone hear anything new about this? Have they moved yet? Sorry if I missed it in the thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 They had a scavenger hunt that just finished last night and winners get a secret party, so makes me wonder if it will be held at the new brewery... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I was there last June and wish them luck in their move. The original brewery is kind of hard to find (the little car parked out front makes it more visible), and their "gift shop" is a counter in the humid, beer-smelling, main room. Kind of cool, kind of depressing...especially with that mural painted on the cinderblocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
native_Houstonian Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 They had a scavenger hunt that just finished last night and winners get a secret party, so makes me wonder if it will be held at the new brewery...I don't think the brewery is quite finished yet. I think they are hoping to move in sometime this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylejack Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Per St. Arnold's via Facebook: "We hope to have tours there in late October or early November ... but don't hold us to that." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdog08 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Just visited the St. Arnold website and saw the pictures of the building, I am very much impressed with what they are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Went to the brewery a few weeks ago, and amidst the debauchery I asked one of the guys that works there, and he estimates mid-October now.I imagine it will probably be more like mid-November, but regardless, it is soon enough I can almost taste the beer hitting my lips in their new expanded and air conditioned facility!

kdog08 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Didn't know if there was a specific thread about St. Arnold's divine but the HEB at buffalo speedway and bissonent recently got some of it. I picked mine up on Monday and they still had ~14 six packs left if yall were interested. I would definitely call ahead and make sure because I did and I got my 6 pack reserved.

I was there last night, buying beer, and because nothing jumped out at me (I guess I missed the display) I settled on my old stand-by of Shiner. That's disappointing. Do they hide it in the back? Must you have a password to get a stocker to to let you in on the stash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, forgot to mention that the beer and wine folks at the store usually leave around 3 on week days so if they have it, they will it hold it for you at the business center (closes at 9 I believe).

talltexan83 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Did any HAIF'ers get to attend the grand opening party?I'm living out of state now, and I trust they did a great job on the renovations..........I'm most curious about what impact the brewery will have on the surrounding blocks. I really hope it spurs some additional investments in the area.Did any HAIF'ers get to attend the grand opening party?I'm living out of state now, and I trust they did a great job on the renovations..........I'm most curious about what impact the brewery will have on the surrounding blocks.

kylejack Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I would urge anyone who is interested in checking out that area to take the Art Crawl tour this year (November). Its a great way to go into all the artist studios that pepper the area around Last Concert Cafe. I came away from that loving that little niche of neighborhood.Art Crawl is today! 10A - 9P. This is your chance to get inside those artist warehouses and see the going-ons. http://artcrawlhouston.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Just an update - I came across some ads I saved from a while back of Bemis Bag/Texas Bag & Fibre Co. (what the building was pre HISD/Saint Arnold) and a picture of the old building: more: http://www.arch-ive.org/bemis.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
