Paper City Nut Brown Ale

History

Brown ale is a style of beer with a dark amber or brown colour. The term was first used by London brewers in the late 17th century to describe their products, such as mild ale, though the term had a rather different meaning than it does today. 18th-century brown ales were lightly hopped and brewed from 100% brown malt.

Beers termed brown ale include sweet, moderate alcohol beers such as Paper City's Nut Brown Ale. Brown Nut Ales may have evolved as one of the elements of early porters. Originally, the “mildness” may have referred to the fact that this beer was young and did not yet have the moderate sourness that aged batches had.

What to expect:

Pour: Pours a dark brown body with a nice bold and strong strength to it. The head is about an index finger thick, tan color, very good foamy body, with long retention and good lacing around the glass. Most certainly a "nut" brown!

Aroma: Rich and nutty aroma greets the nose, with just a hint of residual sweetness. A bit "toasty" as well.

Smell: Very nice nutty complexity with a bready background. Light notes of chocolate do appear with a faint whiff of fruit. The hops are light and do not disturbed the malt scent. The smell is of roasted malt with a bit of a smokey character.

Taste: Hints of brown sugar and lightly toasted malt greet my tongue. Very subtle and full of flavor. .

Mouth Feel: Mouthfeel is correct for the style with just a hint of lingering toasted malt/brown sugar at the back. Again, the subtlety works in its' favor.

Drinkability: Very nice example of the style. Who needs extreme beer when you can get your nut on? Of course, there are no actual nuts in this but the malt mimics it.

Lobster Fest - August 16th, at 6:30pm

At the Munich Haus
Tuesday, August 16th, at 6:30pm
Join us for our third Lobster Fest of the season!

It takes place on the deck or in the dining room. The Lobster Fests feature huge, sweet lobsters!

Click here to see the photos of our chefs preparing these monsters!

Fun Facts: Did you know?
- The largest lobster recorded was caught off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, and weighed 44.4 lbs (20.14 kg); it was between 3 and 4 ft (0.9 to 1.2 m) long. Scientists think it was at least 100 years old.

- Eating lobster was once considered a mark of poverty and they were served to indentured servants, slaves and prisoners. In one Massachusetts colony, servants rebelled and forced a contract stating they would not be fed lobster more than 3 times a week.

Serving:
- Signature chips and dip
- Our homemade New England Clam Chowder
- Caesar Salad with house made dressing
- 6-9 lb. Lobster with oven roasted potatoes and seasonal veggies
- and for the Happy Ending a homemade Strawberry Sundae!

Split a Lobster $110

Tickets must be purchased in advance and are non-refundable.

Add 3 of BGs Premium Cigars $18.00

A recent 9 lb monster Lobster!

Wine Pairing

Sycamore Lane Chardonnay or the Rodney Strong Chardonnay - Smokey buttery lime, lemon and roast apple elements fuse with lemon butter and complement the rich lobster meat.

Beer Pairing

Erdinger Weiss - The citrusy notes of any wheat beer go well with shellfish; in this case it's accentuated by the addition of lemon peel to the brew, which would also work nicely with the dressing in the Caesar salad. The coriander in the beer complements the fennel on the roasted potatoes.

Today Würzburger Hofbräu presents itself as one of the most modern breweries in Europe.

What to expect:

Pour: The pour is a very hazy golden color with a couple fingers worth of soapy white head.

Aroma: Aromas of flowers and lemon for the hops, yeast, and clove.

Smell: The clove aroma on this beer is just awesome. Not so much in the banana department (though not totally deficient), but a touch of peel and some nice sweet wheat notes.

Taste: Its medium body has all the good dry wheat, fruity yeast with notes banana, dry spice and a hint of barley grain. The hops add a light bitterness and some dryness to the rather snappy finish..

Mouth Feel: The body is medium with a moderate but lively carbonation. Its active carbonation keeps thing light, lively and refreshing.

Drinkability: This is defiantly a very solid and refreshing Hefeweizen.

Munich Haus Hops Night Featuring: Warsteiner Premium Verum, May 18th

Munich Hops Club

Warsteiner Premium Verum

Hops night is on Wednesday, May 18th, at 6:00 PM

Featuring: Warsteiner Premium Verum

History

Warsteiner has brewed beer since 1753. Although other breweries in the Rhine valley were bombed during World War II, the brewery remained unscathed. It is Germany’s largest privately owned brewery

Premium Verum, a pilsener style beer, is Warsteiner's most popular beer, and is exported to over 60 countries. The ingredients are forest spring water, two-row malted summer barley and all German hops. The alcohol content is 4.8 percent.

The Warsteiner slogan, found on each bottle reads, "Eine Königin unter den Bieren" which literally translates into English as "A Queen among the Beers", referring to the queen's crown on each beer bottle.

What to expect:

Pour: Beautiful crystal clear golden with a thick, rich cloud white head that subsides rather quickly.

Aroma: The aroma because its so rich and elegant yet fleeting. You get noble hop impression with an ever so slight lemony note, then a pilsner malt sweetness with a crackery aspect. Clean and precise.

Smell: An aggressive nose for a pilsner. Grassy hops are very prominent, and there's a surprisingly spicy and peppery aroma to the beer. Pale malts with a touch of bread and some lager yeast.

Taste: A very pure and sharp pilsner malt with subdued sweetness followed by a piney/grassy dryness from the noble hops. Finishes very nicely dry with a totally awesome lingering pilsner malt flavor mixed with a tad of grass. You can also tell the water used in this brew is great and super soft.

Mouth Feel: Awesome grainy texture with amazing dryness that pulls you back in. Medium in body with a lively carbonation.

Drinkability: Drinkability is good. Nice balance, crisp and refreshing. A tasty pilsener. An easy drinker, you could easily enjoy several of these.

Alcohol Content 4.8%

Price only $15 per person (includes gratuity) The price includes a stein of beer and complete dinner buffet designed to compliment the beer of the night. Including a locally raised, oven roasted pig cooked in the authentic German style!

The Munich Haus Bacchus Wine Club featuring Pomelo Sauvignon Blanc

The Munich Haus Bacchus Wine Club featuring: Pomelo Sauvignon Blanc

Tuesday, June 7th at 6:30pm

The Munich Haus Bacchus Wine Club featuring: Pomelo Sauvignon Blanc (vintage 2009)

Country of Origin: USA (California)

What’s a "pomelo", and how do you make wine from it?

Truth is, though this wine is called "Pomelo", it’s not made from the pomelo fruit. Instead, it’s made from Sauvignon Blanc grown in Lake County, California.

From the back label: Pomelo, Giant citrus fruit native to Malaysia and thought to be ancestor to the grapefruit. Our Pomelo Sauvignon Blanc reminds us of the coral-pink tangy juice from a pomelo. Plus, it’s just fun to say.

Tasting Notes: Clean, bright aroma of green fruits, gooseberry, with some pear and lime. On the palate it is clean and refreshing, with good limey citrus fruit and touches of pear, apple, and yes, tangy pink grapefruit. Racy acidity is a good foil for the fruit. Enjoyable on its own as an aperitif, better with food. Drink it with pork, fish in creamy sauces, hard cheeses. A perfect wine for parties, and a crowd pleaser.

Review: Wine Spectator: "A lip-smacking, vivid style, with passion fruit, lime zest and green papaya notes that are fragrant, crisp and clear. Light-bodied, with a touch of fresh grass and herb, which give this more personality. Drink now." (Aug. 31, 2010) Wonderful grapefruit and figgy nose. This wine explodes with delicious flavors of fig, apple and grapefruit. It is as though one were biting into a big piece of yummy fruit. It also has a lovely textural mouth feel.

Only $18.50 per person (includes gratuity) The price includes a glass of wine and complete dinner buffet designed to compliment the wine of the night.
