Dear St. Arnold's Army:
Ho! Ho! Ho! This Friday, November 10 will be our 6th annual Christmas Ale Pub Crawl! And for the survivors, you will be mugged. That is, you will receive a free St. Arnold mug. To qualify, all you have to do is make it to four of the stops. This is always a fun event, but we also have a list of suggestions for all participants for maximum enjoyment. But first, where will it be? Well, it cannot be preannounced to specific bars, but here is the general info: We will be in the Greater Rice Village Area. We will begin at 6:00 pm. We will gather immediately before the crawl at the parking lot on the south side of Bissonnet just east of Kirby, next to the Chevron Station. The parking lot has a sign that says Wayland Properties (or something very close to that). We will look for a bar near there to start. Hopefully the Bentley will be parked obviously everywhere we go. At 7:00, we will proceed eastward on Bissonnet. At 8:00, we will proceed south on Morningside, turning right on Quemby. At 9:00, we will proceed south on Kirby a block or so. At 10:00, we will proceed further south down Kirby, then left on Rice. At 11:00, we will proceed east on University, then take a right on Morningside. For this finale, we'll do a couple of bars at once on Morningside. The Hotline numbers to try to hook up with us during the crawl are: 713-202-4557 and 281-686-5090. Use this if hopelessly lost. Now, for the tips for maximum enjoyment: 1. PRECOATING: Try to eat something before commencing the crawl. 2. PACING: Too many Christmas Ales at the first stop is a critical strategic mistake. This is known as "Sprinting Too Early" which is not advisable in this, a distance event. Can have negative repercussions later. 3. MANNERS: Be patient with bar staff. Remember, 100 or so people just descended upon some poor, unsuspecting crew. They will be working as fast as they can, but they won't have 10 people serving us as there will probably not be another mass of jubilant humanity arriving upon our departure. This is also sometimes referred to as the "Bum Rush", but in our case, it is the "Saintly Rush". 4. BUDDY SYSTEM: Make sure that you are always in contact with a couple of people you know. One of you is bound to notice that the pack is starting to move on to the next stop. This prevents the disoriented feeling of looking around an empty bar and realizing that the only three people still in there are guzzling some inferior malted beverage and may be related to the missing link. 5. MAKE NEW FRIENDS: As everyone on this crawl will be intelligent and good looking, this is an excellent place to meet new people. Also, you will note that some people become better looking as the crawl wears on. If this occurs, be sure to consult your Buddy System partner. 6. DESIGNATED DRIVER: Yes, we encourage this strongly. You never know when you might decide to run for president. And even the designated drivers on the crawl qualify for the mug. While pregnant wives are perfect for this role, it is known to be poor judgment for a husband to claim that this is the best part of her being pregnant. See "Mood Swings." 7. ENJOY ST. ARNOLD'S BEERS: It is in poor taste to be seen quaffing anything else. Ever. See "Curse of Saint Arnold." We look forward to seeing y'all out there. Feel free to dress like Santa, St. Arnold or Rudolph. Actually, not like Rudolph. Deer season just opened. Cheers, Brock, David, Frank (both), James, Jamie, Jesse, Pete aka the Brew Crew! PS: Want to sell St. Arnold's or know someone that does? Our distributor, Glazers, is hiring for a couple of positions in their beer department. I'm not sure what they all are, but they are probably looking for a salesman, keg delivery driver and service tech/line cleaner. Anyone who is interested should call Leroy Krischke at 713-578-1610 or Mike Allison at 713-795-4454. 2 Saint Arnold Brewing Company 2522 Fairway Park Dr. Houston, TX 77092 713-686-9494 phone 713-686-9474 fax Free tour every Saturday at 1 pm.
