Divine Reserve #7
« on: September 24, 2008, 09:27:26 pm »
The economy is going to shit, Southeast Texas is recovering from a hurricane, etc. etc. etc., but I have some actual, consequential news to report.

Came up empty on my quest for DR-7 in Houston today.  I went to the Saint Arnold website to see if I could glean any information and came across this:

We are now going to be releasing Divine Reserve No. 7 starting Tuesday, September 30 in Houston . . . Divine Reserve No. 7 will still be released Tuesday, September 23 in Austin, DFW and San Antonio.

Happy hunting, and apologies if Cabrera drinks weizenbocks.

I don't know anything about it, but Saint Arnold brews a good beer.  What makes DR 7 special?

Well, the DRs are single-batch, high-gravity (strong) brews that are--at least as I understand it--intended to be stored and sampled over time.  I've only tried a couple of them, and while they are fun and interesting, I wouldn't call them must-taste brews, at least for most folks.

That being said, I went looking for some of the #7 today at the Kroger at Montrose near Westheimer in Houston and no luck.  I had no problems finding the last couple of versions there.  I don't really feel like trekking all over the fair city hunting it down, so if anyone finds some and would be willing to trade me a bottle for a bottle of the #5 or #6, PM me.  I'd be happy to meet you anywhere inside the loop.  [ETA:  Homicidal maniacs excluded, but that should go without sayin'.]

Don't hold the #7 too long.  It's a wheat beer, so it won't age like the last few they've put out.

Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Had some last night.  Very sweet, kinda banana-ester flavor.  High alcohol, but you can hardly tell.

Anybody doing the St. Arnold pub crawl on Saturday?

Drinking for two.
