Episode 06
In the fledgling craft brewery industry in the early 1990s, Saint Arnold found a way to succeed and make an impact. Now the oldest craft brewery in Texas, it continues to grow even as competition has exploded. Founder Brock Wagner’s passion for homebrewing laid the foundation that made Saint Arnold’s a staple in the Houston community and helped it expand into a major regional presence.
In this episode, we discuss the evolution of Texas beer culture, the early grind to establish themselves in an unwelcoming market, and their commitment to diversity in their workforce.
