Who is patron saint of beer and once King Flanders?

* Saint Arnold (also known as Arnold of Soissons) was a 7th-century bishop.

* He is associated with beer due to a legend that he established a brewery in Soissons, France, to provide beer for the poor and sick.

* While he was a bishop, he wasn't a king. He was a royal figure, but not in the sense of ruling a kingdom. He served as Duke of Flanders, but he was not king.

* The Holy Roman Emperor (also known as King of the Romans), Otto I, bestowed upon him the title "Duke of Flanders" in 941, making him a powerful and influential figure.

Many brewers and beer enthusiasts revere St. Arnold.
