US, TX: Saint Arnold Brewing Company to launch a new Double IPA on March, 29

Saint Arnold Brewing Company, a craft brewery in Texas, will launch Saint Arnold Divine Reserve No 11, a new Double IPA brewed in February. The beer is slated for release on 29 March 2011, Drinks Business Review reported on March, 21.

The Saint Arnold Divine Reserve series was introduced more than five years ago. Saint Arnold Divine Reserve No. 11 uses Simcoe, Columbus and Centennial hops from the Pacific Northwest.

Saint Arnold Divine Reserve No 11 is priced at approximately $16 per six pack and will be available at stores, restaurants and bars in Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio.

The brewery company is requesting retailers to limit their sales to two six packs per customer and is asking customers to limit their purchase to a six pack or two.

This will be the second time the Saint Arnold Divine Reserve series offered a Double IPA, but this is the first Double IPA created by the Saint Arnold brew crew.

Saint Arnold founder Brewer Brock Wagner said the brewery has planned to boost production of Divine Reserve No. 10 to make it easier to find, but we ran into some challenges in the brewing process and ended up with fewer than 2,000 cases and three dozen kegs.

"The brewing company is planning to double the production of Divine Reserve No. 11 so that people with jobs don't have to take a day off to be able to score a six pack. Still, it thought previous production increases would help out with availability," Wagner said.
