........We are the oldest microbrewery in the state of Texas and our brews can be found in grocery stores, pubs, and restaurants all over the Lone Star State. But here is the real story of the real Saint Arnold,....
Saint Arnold was born to a prominent Austrian family in 580 in the Chateau of Lay-Saint-Christophe in the old French diocese of Toul, north of Nancy. He married Doda with whom he had many sons, two of whom were to become famous: Clodulphe, later called Saint Cloud, and Ansegis who married Begga, daughter of Pépin de Landen. Ansegis and Begga are the great-great-grandparents of Charlemagne, and as such, Saint Arnold is the oldest known ancestor of the Carolingian dynasty.
Saint Arnold was acclaimed bishop of Metz, France, in 612 and spent his holy life warning peasants about the dangers of drinking water. Beer was safe, and "from man's sweat and God's love, beer came into the world." The people revered Arnold. In 627, Saint Arnold retired to a monastery near Remiremont, France, where he died on August 16, 640.
In 641, the citizens of Metz requested that Saint Arnold's body be exhumed and ceremoniously carried to Metz for reburial in their Church of the Holy Apostles. During this voyage a miracle came to pass in the town of Champignuelles. The tired porters and followers stopped for a rest and walked into a tavern for a drink of their favorite beverage. Regretfully, there was only one mug of beer to be shared, but that mug never ran dry and all of the thirsty pilgrims were satisfied.
Saint Arnold is recognized by the Catholic Church as the Patron Saint of Brewers.
We have a new album available today! It is limited to 75 copies because we don’t feel like making any more covers.
Original illustrations by Pat Moriarity along with hand-made covers by the band. Copies available from our friends at Vinal Edge and Sound Exchange in Houston.
Today the Dr's who have been caring for my Dad for the last 3 months decided to stop all treatments & allow nature to take it's course. They feel that he will lose his life within a week but more closely to 2-3 days. For these last months my Family & I have been trying to prepare ourselves for this because we knew it was going to happen- we just didn't know when. Now that we do, it's still very difficult- but we're moving towards the next step in our lives. We will have a very small private funeral & then later hold a memorial for him. I appreciate all kind words, thoughts & prayers. We also thank you for your unwavering support during this lengthy process. ~Krissy Thorson

In his lifetime we enjoyed many a brewery tour & Texas Wheat together- so everyone please raise your glasses in memory of my Dad! He was a great Dad!!
Looking forward to the event (One Pot) tomorrow. Looks like Saint Arnold is getting some really nice penetration down here along the water in Clear Lake and Kemah. Was able to knock back a couple pitchers of Winter Stout with friends at T-bone Tom's (Kemah) the other evening which was quite nice!
