The lovely Jennie of MisoHungry Makes it With Moonshine has posted a fantastic description of the upcoming St. Arnold’s Pub Crawl. For those who don’t know, St. Arnold’s is a Houston brewery started by a couple of Rice grads … so needless to say, I drank my fair share of free St. A’s in college. Anyway, check out Jennie’s post on the 1st ever Austin Pub Crawl!
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 6pm-10pm
My fave info from the post:
Now, for our annual tips for maximum enjoyment:
1. PRECOATING: Try to eat something before commencing the crawl. Our first stop is good for this!
2. PACING: Too many Saint Arnolds at the first stop is a critical strategic mistake. This is known as “Sprinting Too Early” which is not advisable in this, a distance event. Can have negative repercussions later.
3. MANNERS: Be patient with bar staff. Remember, lots of people will be descending upon a poor crew. They will be working as fast as they can. Also, it is considered very good manners to tip well everywhere you go. This creates good “beerma”.
4. CASH: Bring cash! This pleases the bar staff and the people standing behind you. Cash is fast. Credit cards are slow. They cannot run tabs for all you people.
