Leap Day Beer Release – Saint Arnold Endeavour
Endeavour Launching on Leap Day with Spaceballs
Wednesday, February 29 we will be bringing back DR11, now named Endeavour Double IPA (or IPA2 as we labeled it – yes, we understand they are not the same – artistic license). This is our super hoppy yet oddly balanced double IPA with lots of citrus and subtle peach notes. We went out to Yakima last fall as the hops were being harvested to select the hops with the best aromatics. It shows.
The beer’s name, first suggested by a NASA astronaut, was selected by you 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.
To celebrate the launch of Endeavour, we are borrowing Alamo Drafthouse’s Rolling Roadshow to watch Mel Brooks’ classic “Spaceballs” in our parking lot. We will do check in ONLY between 6 PM and 6:45 PM that night so please be on time. Also, this is a BYOC (bring your own chair) and BYOF (bring your own food) event. Dress appropriately for the weather.

Other Endeavour Events
We’re not just having a rollout, we’re going on the road! And when you go on the road, you need a poster. So we had Carlos Hernandez hand print 100 of these cool 11″x17″ posters for our week of events. We have a small number here at the brewery and will have some at events. Price is $5 per poster. We’ll be doing these collectors’ posters a few times each year for special events.
