An elderly man who seemed either really drunk or on something else started moving in on our table, staring me down and standing way too close. Just as I was asking him to back up and give us some space one of the service staff walked by. He noticed the interaction and checked in with me to see if everything was ok. I told him I'd just asked the guy to back off and he let me know if needed we could ask the security guard to intervene. After another half hour or so of the man continuing to hover near us one of the security guards tapped me on the back letting me know they had been watching the guy stare at me and had decided to ask him to leave. I was blown away by this gesture, knowing they were really looking out for my safety that way. I want to say thank you to the staff for paying attention and prioritizing their customers wellbeing like that. Plus, it seemed like good vibes overall, everyone was dancing and having fun together. Big respect to the crew for keeping it fun and safe!

In fact, I don't remember seeing *anyone* running on the previous two that I went to. You don't have to do these in the order listed below and you don't have to go to each one. You can do whatever you like! One or two of the places have a cover charge, but if you are dressed up for the theme of the month, they waive it. Even something as simple as a t-shirt or a string of beads for the Mardi Gras theme gets you in free. The BEST part of the run/crawl for me is running into tourists who see all this craziness going on and they ask if they can tag along. I absolutely LOVE my city and enjoy showing it off to tourists.

My point of reference has always been the one I have seen during First Friday. You know the one, the one with women in tutus and dudes in, tutus running down St. Mary's Street. I imagine with all the barhopping from checkpoint to checkpoint sooner or later someone is gonna ralph all over a sidewalk. However, I was talked into doing the one St. Arnold Brewery had put on recently as a promotional event. Five check in points for a pint glass created specifically for this event. You are given five locations to choose in any order: Stella Public House, Frank's, B&D's, The Friendly Spot and your final destination Alamo Street; a punchout card and roughly three hours to have it all filled. Pretty straightforward, right? Well. A couple of things happened along the way while checking into places. One issue the flow of pub crawlers was not congruent with stay time. For example the Stella Public House was maxed out to capacity, due to the traffic of participants. I did skip it opting for Frank's a few yards down but nonetheless the results were the same. The thinking is that you had to have a drink at each point, which some people did. I must reiterate you don't have to drink anything at any of the locations to participate, you just have to have your card punched by a rep. Moving from the direction of the Blue Star Complex towards the area of the Friendly Spot the crowds either tapered off or dissipated. For example B&D's was hours away from the mad rush. And The Friendly Spot had plenty of seating. In my opinion I think the event would've benefited from having locations spread across Southtown, thus alleviating traffic and creating urgency. Another minor critique is I would've actually liked to have seen St. Arnold's booths of some sort offering their beers on tap or in a can at destinations. Still in it's totality I enjoyed the experience despite some of its shortcomings. Seeing participants go from spot to to spot with their magic punchout card, as though it were an Olympic Event; was kinda inspiring. And the rad pint glass, my Major Award at the end was a sight to behold. I definitely would like to do one again at some point, I just need to begin training. ps. I saw some people stumbling at the tail end. Lucky we didn't have to pass some torch or baton of some sort...

Cheers! St. Arnold's Pub Crawl is so much fun!…read more The Houston brewery puts these on every year, or more often if you're lucky. Basically, you get a punch card at one of five local bars that are all close to each other. At each pub, you get your St. Arnold's card punched. Get them all punched, and collect a free special edition pint glass! Score! Prost! St. Arnold's is the oldest independent brewery in Houston, the city's first real microbrewery. They've since moved to a bigger and classier location to churn out the beer! They offer a bunch of favorites, and usually some cool seaonals. Be sure to check out a different St. Arnold's beer at each stop! You'll be sure to know where the crawl ends- you'll find St. Arnold's Art Car, plastered with St. Arnold's art, in the style of the Houston tradition and infamous Art Car Parade. Did you know that Saint Arnold is the patron saint of brewers? In order to become a saint, you have to perform some miracles. St. Arnold's was that he and some thirsty worshipers were going on a pilgrimage, and came across an empty house, where they found a single beer, and a mug. They poured the beer into the mug, and started passing the beer around to the thirsty monks- but as they passed it around, it never went empty! The beer kept providing sustenance and booze to the monks until they could drink no more. It was a beer miracle! St. Arnold was canonized, as this beer obviously came straight from Heaven. When I went on the Pub Crawl, it was through Southtown, ending up in the Blue Star area.

Then was led down to a seating area to start the tour. After we were given an outline of the tour we were led down to the downstairs area. I had brought my emf reader along, and while I was in the downstairs area with the barrels, I got a strong emf reading. I am one to try to debunk unless I absolutely can't, so I kind of wrote it off. We went to the other 2 bars, and thoroughly enjoyed every one. At the end of the tour, we thanked our tour guide and tipped him. I ended up asking for a picture with him since I enjoyed the tour. We were staying at the crocket, so we were on a total ghost excursion, so needless to say I really wanted to see some activity. They did tell me to check photos, when I got home, so doing just that I never thought I would catch something. I will leave pictures and let you form your own opinion. I would recommend this tour a million times over.
