We're TWO NEW German-style brews
Mighty Märzen our annual brew of traditional German-style lager...light-bodied and crushable, but with a toasty malt backbone.
Bright Skies, a fresh new German-style Pilsner. Pouring a pale straw color with delicate hoppiness, this light lager is a refreshing inverse to the Dark Skies black pilsner you know and love.
Don't miss the limited edition keepsake 0.5L Oktoberfest mug for $15 (includes first fill and $2 off every fill), available for pre-order on Eventbrite.
We're serving up a German-inspired menu to pair with our limited time Oktoberfest Flight, including the new Schnitzel Garten (thin fried pork schnitzel from Elder Hill Farms (Driftwood, TX) topped with a salad of arugula, apple, tomato, red onion, Texas gold cheddar in apple cider vinaigrette.)
