MENU:

**Rye Bread Beer Cheese Sliders with Bratwurst & Sauerkraut**
The bready and slightly sweet profile of the Helles Lager perfectly complements the tangy kick of sauerkraut and the spicy flavors in rye bread. The beer cheese brings it all together and enhances the malty notes, while bratwurst introduces a savory element that’s iconic for Oktoberfest. Paired with Helles Awaits (5.4% Helles Lager) Bready malt profile with notes of cracker and a slight sweetness with low hop bitterness and spicy hop flavor.

**Autumn Harvest Salad with Citrus-IPA Vinaigrette**
The **Champion of the Sun** with its hazy character and high percentage of NE IPA will have pronounced fruitiness and low bitterness. The hops mentioned, especially Citra and Mosaic, tend to introduce flavors and aromas of tropical and citrus fruits. These characteristics make the beer a fantastic pairing with a seasonal salad featuring fall produce and a tangy, hop-forward vinaigrette. Paired with Champion of the Sun (6.8% Hazy / NE IPA) Dry hopped with copious amounts of Simcoe, Citra, and Mosaic.

**Smoked Scottish Salmon Risotto with Wail of the Banshee Reduction**
