In honor of our 15th Anniversary, we are hosting a special beer dinner. Due to a conflict with our previous date, we have re-scheduled for Tues, May 1st at 7pm. Brewmaster CHAD and Chef Ernesto have created and paired a menu to feature our specialty, cask ale. Since 1997, we've featured an average of 3-5 cask ales at all times. Long before it was popular, back when people thought firkin was a dirty word. Now, keeping up with demand is our biggest problem for cask ales. A far cry from 1997.

The Menu:

1. Smoked Tomato Capsicum with GW House Ale

2. Carnitas Lettuce Wrap with Blackwatch Oat Stout

3. Almond Encrusted Walleye & Tomato Scallop Sauce with Dry-Hopped St. Peter Pale Ale

4. Pork Tenderloin, Polenta & Mild Chipotle Sauce with New Centurian Mild Ale

5. Fruit Pizza & Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie with Cask Brown Trout Brown Ale

$65 reg / $55 MBA members (includes tax and grat)
