E-Malt.com News article: USA, TX: Saint Arnold Brewing Co. to release Icon Green

Saint Arnold Brewing Co., the oldest craft brewery in Texas, announced on April, 29 the upcoming release of Saint Arnold Icon Green, the latest in the brewery’s line of rotating beers that complement the brewery’s year-round and seasonal offerings.

Saint Arnold Icon Green is an Amarillo hefeweizen inspired by a recipe developed three years ago by Saint Arnold Brewer Sam Wright as a wedding gift for his sister and brother-in-law.

A new Saint Arnold Icon beer is released every three months or so, depending on how quickly supplies are exhausted. Saint Arnold Icon Green was pushed up on the calendar due to strong demand for Saint Arnold Icon Blue, a Cascadian Dark Ale. As the brewery continues to experiment, some Icon styles are expected to be replaced from one year to the next while other styles may return.

The beer is referred to as Icon Green because of its striking metallic green and black label. It will be available in 4-packs of 12 ounce bottles and on tap in bars and restaurants throughout Texas and Louisiana beginning later this week.

Upcoming beers in the Saint Arnold Icon line include a Bohemian Pils, scheduled for release around September, and Saint Arnold Icon Red, a beer being described as a bière de saison, which will replace 2012’s Belgian-Style Pale Ale.
