Pencil This In: St. Arnoldus Celebration Featuring St. Feullien And Bockor At The Fountainhead

By Chuck Sudo in Food on Jul 17, 2012 5:30PM

St. Arnoldus is the patron saint of Belgian Beer who urged the masses to drink beer instead of water during a plague epidemic. Because beer is sterilized in production and the local water was not, the people were saved. A true miracle!

July 18 is known as St. Arnoldus Day. On Tuesday, July 17 The Fountainhead rings it in early with selections from Bockor and St Feuillien. They'll be featuring the beers of Bockor, including Cuvee des Jacobins Rouge, Omer, Bellegems Bruin, & a keg of unblended Lambic downstairs. In their rooftop garden will be St. Feuillien In The Sun! They'll be pouring Saison, Blonde, La Blanche, and a six liter bottle of St, Feuillien Triple. There will be plenty of fun upstairs and down. Glasswear giveaways as well as other cool swag.
