Big Batch Brew Bash Winner to Inspire Divine Reserve #10

Saint Arnold Brewing has announced that the English Barleywine recipe that wins the 15th annual Big Batch Brew Bash will be used to inspire the 10th release of their Divine Reserve series. The Big Batch Brew Bash, an American Homebrewers Association sanctioned event organized by the Kuykendahl Gran Brewers, is the biggest single-style brewing competition in the world. There's approximately 100 entries this year and the winner will be announced after the judging takes place at the Saint Arnold Brewery this Sunday, May 16th.

“We look forward to giving the winner a taste of what making beer for a living is really like – from mashing to pouring hops into the kettle to cleaning up and, of course sampling for quality control,” said Brock Wagner.

This will be the fifth time that the winning recipe from the event will be used by Saint Arnold for the Divine Reserve series. Divine Reserve #10 is currently scheduled to be released this September. Previous releases of the Divine Reserve series have sold out within hours (and sometimes within minutes) of being put on a sale.
