Saint Arnold Opens the Cellar for Black Friday Big Beer Blowout

From the editor: Saint Arnold is clearing out the cellar again, and this list is deep. Pumpkinator vintages going back to 2019, Bourbon Barrel French Press from 2020 through 2023, and a 30th Anniversary Grand Cru on draft is the kind of vertical most breweries never bother to hold onto. If you’re anywhere near Houston on Black Friday, this beats the mall.
