Saint Arnold Brewing Company, the oldest craft brewery in Texas, announces the launch of Saint Arnold Endeavour Double IPA (India Pale Ale), which will be available year-round, Craftbeer.com reported on February, 28.
Saint Arnold Endeavour Double IPA will be released in 22-ounce bombers and on draft.
The beer’s name, first suggested by a NASA astronaut, was selected by the craft beer community who voted to name it after the Space Shuttle Endeavour, which in turn was named after Captain James Cook’s ship that explored the Pacific. Captain Cook’s ship was a bark, similar to Elissa, Texas’ tall ship moored in Galveston and the namesake of Saint Arnold Elissa IPA.
“Even though Endeavour registers 78 IBUs, the hop bitter always maintains a balance – starting low before building to a pleasant crescendo,” said Saint Arnold Founder/Brewer Brock Wagner. “When we released this as Divine Reserve No. 11 last year, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Plus, we enjoyed drinking it. It is amazing to me that 15 years ago, we would have struggled to sell three cases of this beer, but the public is clamoring for it today.”
Saint Arnold Endeavour Double IPA is priced at approximately $5.99 per 22-ounce bomber and will be available at stores, restaurants and bars throughout Texas and Louisiana.
Saint Arnold Endeavour Double IPA is the first recipe from the Saint Arnold Divine Reserve series to join the brewery’s year-round lineup. Its addition brings the total number of Saint Arnold beers to 13, seven of which are available all year and six of which are seasonal.
