Swedish Lager / Dovetail Brewery Collab Release Party
Buy a ticket for the 7pm IKEA building contest!
Last year we made an awesome Swedish-style lager with our friends from Dovetail Brewery in Chicago. We loved it so much that we’re running it back. And a beer with this pedigree needs needs a release party!
Saturday, November 7th, we’re releasing “Bork! Bork! Bork!” a Swedish-style lager made in collaboration with Dovetail Brewery. This lager style has roots in German brewing but is slightly sweeter and more full-bodied than German pilsners and with a slightly lower hopping rate. We think it’s perfect for the Wisconsin palate!
To help celebrate, we’re also hosting these fun features:
Swedish meatballs
Special guest taps from Dovetail Brewery!
Swedish Candy Fish Cocktail
We only have three slots for the competition. $30 gets you a pour of Bork, Bork, Bork, the plant stand to put together (which you get to keep), and 1st place gets a 4-pack, 2nd place gets a 3-pack, and third place gets a 2-pack. Everyone gets to have a good time :)
The fun and games start at noon 🍻
Brats & Bloodys
We’re doing our Brats and Bloodys shindig on the first Sunday of this month (normally it’s the second Sunday of the month). What’s Brats and Bloodys you ask?
All day we’ll be serving Jenifer Street Market brats cooked in WDBC beer and house-made Bloody Marys.
We’ll have a full bloody fixin’s bar, including house made pickles, cheese cubes, meat sticks, green olives, onions, celery sticks, brussels sprouts, asparagus, limes, lemons, and more. Build your own :)
And you know there will be WDBC beer chasers.
So come hungry and thirsty!
