Braü Weisse (5.1 ABV)
Delicious lemon & spice scented wheat beer, deriving wonderful aromatic complexity from a traditional Bavarian yeast strain. This is an aristocratic beer with a champagne sparkle and a beautifully sustained head. Pale in color, tart in palate, beautiful smooth body-a brut beer. Finishes with a subtle spicy note.

Chèvre soufflé with crostini.

Ur-Weisse (5.8 ABV)
Old-fashioned Bavarian dunkel (dark) wheat beer. Amber in color, dry in palate, very fruity, bursting with flavor. A complex beer with suggestions of soft fruit, apple, and a hint of cloves on the finish. Old-fashioned wheat beer was often dark. In the 1950s and 1960s, wheat beers did not have a youthful image, since most older people drank them for their health-giving qualities.

Shrimp, mango and avocado jumble with sweet-chili ginger vinaigrette.

Jahrhundert (5.5 ABV)
A delicious, malty export-style beer that was first brewed in 1978 for the 100th anniversary of the brewery. This light lager is a better complement to food than more bitter styles. The invention of refrigeration allowed lagers to be shipped long distances. Dortmund, in Westphalia, was the first German city to develop the "Dortmund" or "Export" style of brewing. Golden, big herbaceous bouquet with a soft, medium body and a long lingering finish with dry hop tones.

Grilled Flatbread Caprese with heirloom tomatoes and fresh mozzarella.

Altbairisch Dunkel (5 ABV)
Altbairisch Dunkel is one of the world's best beer with foods. It is surprisingly easy to drink, even for the beer novice. Translated to English, the name literally means "Old Bavarian Dark Beer." This is the most traditional style of beer in Bavaria. Before light beers were introduced from the big cities, most village beer-like most village bread-was dark, toasty and flavorful. This beer is dark brown with a warm sweet aroma. On the palate, a satisfying malty taste with coffee tones and a hint of fruitiness round out the taste.

Oktober Fest-Märzen (5.8 ABV)
Full-bodied, flavorful March (Märzen) beer brewed and lagered to celebrate Bavaria's famous Oktoberfest. Traditionally served at German beer festivals in September and October. Bavarians have been celebrating the harvest with beer festivals since before the 15th century. Märzen is brewed in March to be ready for the September and October beer festivals. The beer is a rich, golden color with a slightly sweet, malty nose. The medium to big body holds a soft dryness from the long maturation.

Papparadelle with braised shortribs, exotic mushrooms and root vegetables.

Celebrator (6.7 ABV)
Originally brewed at a monastery in northern Italy, "double bock" was quickly introduced by Bavarian brewers to compete with bock. This profoundly dark, rich elixir has a complex fruitiness of roasted malt and whole hop flowers with a semi-dry finish.
