Saint Arnold Brewing Company<\/a>, Houston\u2019s foremost craft brewery since 1994, recently added Grand Prize to its year-round beer lineup, reviving a brand that was once the best-selling beer in the Lone Star State. This classic American lager is light and refreshing, with each 12 oz can containing just 100 calories, 2.7g carbs, and an alcohol percentage of 4.2%.<\/p>\n

The original Grand Prize beer was born in 1933 when Gulf Brewing Company brewed its first batch in Houston\u2019s East End. The post-prohibition brewery was a collaboration between two of the city\u2019s most well-known figures: celebrated brewmaster Frantz H. Brogniez and the famed Howard Hughes, whose Hughes Tool Company owned and operated the facility.<\/p>\n

The beer they brewed used Brogniez\u2019s family recipe \u2013 the same formula that in 1913 bested over 4,000 others to win the\u00a0grand prix<\/em>\u00a0at the world\u2019s preeminent beer competition in Belgium.<\/p>\n

Fittingly, they called their new beer Grand Prize.<\/p>\n

Over the course of next three decades, Grand Prize was enjoyed by beer lovers in Houston and by Texans far and wide. For years, it was the best-selling beer in Texas. When the brewery was eventually sold in 1963, a classic was lost to history.<\/p>\n

Whether coincidence or fate, Saint Arnold is launching Grand Prize only months after winning the Brewery of the Year award from the Great American Beer Festival which is essentially the Grand Prize of Craft Brewing. As a pioneer of craft beer in Texas, Saint Arnold viewed a fresh take on the Grand Prize brand as a perfect fit. \u201cAs we learned the history of the original Grand Prize beer, everything about it felt iconic and quintessentially Texan,\u201d says Jeremy Johnson, the company\u2019s Branding & Design Manager. \u201cLike Saint Arnold, Grand Prize\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saint Arnold Founder\/Brewer Brock Wagner agrees. \u201cWe feel like in our own way we share Howard Hughes\u2019 pioneering spirit, opening a craft brewery in Texas thirty years ago,\u201d says the company\u2019s owner. \u201cWe pride ourselves in being independent, Texas owned and putting quality above all else, all of which were part of the ethos of the original Grand Prize.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grand Prize is available now across Texas and Louisiana. It can be found in six packs at grocery and liquor stores as well as on draft at bars and restaurants.<\/p>\n
