The Patron Saint of Brewers
At a reader's suggestion Sara and I sampled St. Arnold's Elissa IPA & Amber Ale. I like hops, but the IPA was pushing it with me (the website says only about 60 IBUs, but I find that hard to believe).
The Amber, on the other hand, compared favorably to my old friend Stone Pale Ale. It reminded me of the good old days, back at Anam Cara in Boston with my best girl, a Sox playoff game on the big screen, two plates of mac and cheese with sausage on order in the kitchen, ah...
Continuing on the bright side, it turns out that the Elissa, a 19th century tall ship, happens to be docked right down the road in Galvaston, which we'll have to pay a visit to some day soon. I worked within spitting distance of the USS Constitution for a month though, not sure it can top Old Ironsides.

Bravo! Saint Arnolds is excellent beer. Try the Winter Stout. On Feb. 5th, the band I play in, the Screaming Waheenees, will be playing at the 1:00 tour at SA. Check us out.
