The puns write themselves, honestly. We are getting SO MANY calls about our #Oktoberfest feature menu — don't miss the beer braised pork shank, @usingers bratwurst, knackwurst, smoked jalapeno cheddar and smoked polish, and Jagerschnitzel. And seasonally, our draft beer lineup is increasingly lager-centric, so ask your server what's new on tap and maybe hoist a liter mug or two.
