The editorial take
Saint Arnold Brewing Company pours a deep lineup of house beers, from the award-winning Lawnmower Kölsch to the juicy Juice Train IPA. The Beer Garden's Small Batch Series adds rotating exclusives, while flights let you survey the range. Wine and nonalcoholic options exist but play backup to the brewery's core strength.
- What should I order?
- Start with the five-taster flight for $14 to sample the range, then commit to a pint of OG Amber, the original craft beer. If you're after something newer, the Juice Train IPA, a year-round juicy IPA with mango and pineapple, arrived January 2026.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer enthusiasts will find plenty to explore, from the gold-medal Lawnmower to the rotating Small Batch Series. Those less interested in beer have a handful of wines by the glass and housemade nonalcoholic drinks, though the focus is clearly on the brewery's own output.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Pints of most beers are $6.50, with mugs at $8 and four-ounce tasters at $3.50. A five-taster flight runs $14. Wines by the glass range from $13 to $15, and nonalcoholic drinks are $3 each.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The Beer Garden pours a Small Batch Series brewed exclusively for the venue, with rotating offerings you won't find elsewhere. The brewery's competitive pedigree is notable: Lawnmower has taken gold at the Great American Beer Festival twice, and Oktoberfest has earned silver twice.
