BIG NEWS! Our favorite classics make a return at Saint Arnold Brewing Company!

Which beer will be your first pour?

Sign us up for Endeavor! kthx!

Gather ‘round, light the candles, and adorn your ofrendas—Santo returns. 🌹💀

This Day of the Dead, one of our most beloved creations will rise again. We’ve brewed a special batch of this fan-favorite beer and will be resurrecting it on draft at our Beer Garden starting at 11:00 AM on Friday, November 1.

But Santo won’t return alone! He’s bringing two legendary companions—Endeavour and Weedwacker. All three beers will be available only on draft, only at the Saint Arnold Beer Garden & Restaurant, and only while supplies last.

✨ Bonus: Grab a limited-edition Santo pint glass and stick around! Later in the day, the one-and-only Carlos Hernandez, the original Santo artist, will join us with to print Santo t-shirts live from hand-carved woodblocks. 🎨👕

Need a refresher on these back-from-the-dead brews?

💀Santo: 4.7% ABV | 2x World Beer Cup Medals
Originally released in 2011, Santo is a black Kölsch - a style that hadn’t previously existed. It’s brewed using a Kölsch recipe with Munich and black malt. It’s light-bodied and floral, dark yet refreshing.

💀Endeavour: 9.0% ABV | 1x World Beer Cup Medal
First brewed in 2011 as Divine Reserve No. 11 and later released in our year-round lineup, Endeavour is a bold, hoppy double IPA. Columbus, Simcoe, and Centennial hops lend citrus and peach notes, while the creamy malt keeps this big beer well balanced.

💀Weedwacker: 4.9% ABV | 5x GABF Medals | 1x WBC Medals
As the first release of our experimental Movable Yeast series in 2010, Weedwacker is a testament to the flavor contribution of yeast. It’s exactly the same beer as Lawnmower but fermented with Bavarian hefeweizen yeast. It’s light and refreshing but has a spicy clove note and banana esters from the different yeast.
