GLÜHKRIEK

Based on the tradition of Glühwein, we mull our spontaneously-fermented cherry ale with winter spices and serve it warm. This year, we’ll have a limited number of special mugs you can purchase for discounted refills all winter.

Coburger Bratwurst

Coburger Bratwurst is a Franconian sausage grilled over pinecones. Hagen made us watch a 20 minute documentary in German about it. Our friends at Paulina Market have agreed to make them, and Bill went into the forest one weekend to collect pinecones.

On Saturday, December 21, will close the market serving this sausage from 2-6pm, and tap a 200L gravity keg.
