In addition to the Hogwart's Feast we teased yesterday, we've got a special Harry Potter-inspired cocktail flight:

🐦‍🔥 The Fiery Phoenix: A delightful autumn cocktail crafted with Saigon Cinnamon-infused Bourbon, with Cranberry and Peach C***r.
🪙 The Golden Snitch: A tropical blend of Banana Liqueur, Pineapple Juice, Lemon, and a dash of Lemon/Lime Soda.
🧱 Diagon Alley Daiquiri: A fun twist on a vacation staple, featuring white rum, fresh lime, a dash of simple syrup, and blue curacao.
🐍 Malfoy's Margarita: Like sipping a margarita in an apple orchard, it's made with premium tequila, triple sec, fresh lime, and granny smith apple simple syrup.

This flight, and the Hogwart's Feast are available today only, beginning at 4PM. Trivia kicks off at 6PM, but we're open for lunch service now until 9PM.

Blanc, our kölsch rooted in tradition, with a spark of innovation, is now available in cans.

We brewed this full-flavored kölsch with our friend Michael William in early July, and you guys plowed through the early teaser keg we put on draft. It's finally left the tank now after cold-conditioning for 9 weeks. It's not common for a kölsch to tie up a tank that long, but we've never exactly colored inside the lines.

The base recipe is traditional, featuring a yeast sourced from a brewery along the Rhine river in Koln, brewed with immense attention to tradition and detail. Where we deviated, is by using Nelson Sauvin hops in the boil, before dry-hopping with Hallertau Blanc hops.

Expect a floral hop bouquet with aromas and flavors reminiscent of white grape, atop a refreshing full-flavored traditional b**r-flavored-b**r that pairs well with seafood and lightly savory foods.

Stop in and try a pint, or grab a 4-pack to-go. We're here until 9PM.

Presenting, the Hogwarts Feast. ⚡🪄

Creamy mashed potatoes find their way in between a brioche bun, with buttered peas & carrots and braised beef, roasted in a savory brown gravy.

Served with your choice of seasoned fries or optional cheese curds. Available exclusively tomorrow for Harry Potter trivia with Whaddayaknow? Free Pub Trivia. Trivia kicks off at 6PM.

This is our foeder.

It's technically a modified French oak w**e cask, built the year we incorporated as a brewery by a father & son cooperage in Cognac, France, and it's roughly the size of 2 bourbon barrels. You can see it from the taproom, and we use it to house our wild culture that, along with our friends from Midwest Brew Review & Eric Flores, won a gold medal at the festival of wood & barrel-aged b**rs in 2021.

This Friday, we release the first sour b**r that matured in this cask, Fruition: Peach. It's built atop a wheat b**r foundation, and after maturing for 13 months in our foeder, it developed pronounced notes of peach & apricot, along with a gentle tannic structure and beautifully balanced sour acidity. We rested the b**r on a restrained amount of puree'd peach after extraction, for a touch of added sweetness and real fruit pectin to amplify, but not dominate, our wild sour culture's natural complexity.

102 500mL bottles produced, with 60% reserved for on-site consumption, available this Friday.

The judges at Oathie's Taco TKO dug in, now it's your turn. 🏆🌮

We were excited to participate in the inaugural Solemn Oath Brewery Oathie's Taco TKO this past weekend, and even MORE excited to learn that our very own Chef Judy Reyna came out on top with the judge's choice trophy! We're celebrating by running these incredible, and now AWARD-WINNING tacos, back for another run, but this time cooked over charcoal - just the way we made 'em at Oathie's.

Tomorrow for Taco Tuesday, we're running a 3-taco plate that features 2 grilled chicken shawarma tacos, plus one grilled shawarma carne asada taco. No substitutions, as we have a limited amount of each!

They're only available while supplies last. We're open Tuesdays from 3-9PM. Thank you to Solemn Oath Brewery for having us, and congratulations again to Chef Judy!

Today's the day that we take our show on the road! 🌮

Aurora already knows our taco game, but does Naperville? We're at Solemn Oath Brewery for Oathie's Taco TKO to compete for some taco hardware. Chef Judy Reyna is on-site serving up the Chicken Shawarma tacos we previewed a few weeks ago, along with Shawarma Carne Asada tacos, Pita Nachos with your choice of protein, and ice cold Horchata!

Stop by Solemn, try our tacos and vote Foreign! We're here serving until sell out. Once you get tired of the heat, drive 15m west and unwind in our comfortable taproom. We're there until 11pm tonight.

10 hours, low and slow. ⏳

That's how we make the braised beef that's the foundation for the quesabirria tacos and the birria grilled cheese that you guys have come to know and love. We choose to do some things the hard way, not because we're stubborn (we are), but because we know that the best ingredients, crafted without shortcuts, create the best end product. We learned that while making b**r, and that same spirit carries through in the food we make and serve in our taproom.

Visit us today, and see how this attention to detail in everything that we do makes us one of the best places to spend your lunch or dinner here in Aurora. We're open today from 12-11pm.

These bourbon adobo BBQ wings are calling your name. They come in sets of 5, in your choice of our delicious sauces & dry rubs, and a Google reviewer recently called them the best wings she's had - stop by and see if you agree.
