A Novel Supper

Guests will begin with The Gathering Board, a generous spread of house made sausages, artisan cheeses, and warm pretzel rolls with beer mustard—an invitation to slow down, share, and connect. The experience continues with The Bread & Fields, where comforting Parker House rolls, sweet corn and potato chowder, and a bright heirloom tomato salad celebrate the agricultural heart of the region.

At the center of the evening is The Supper Table—a hearty, communal feast featuring beer-braised short ribs, buttermilk fried chicken, stout mac & cheese, and butter-braised green beans. Rich, nostalgic, and deeply satisfying, this course embodies the spirit of abundance and togetherness.

To finish, The Sweet Ending offers a trio of comforting desserts: warm apple crisp, honey cheesecake bars, and decadent chocolate stout cake—each a nod to tradition with a touch of indulgence.

Enhance your evening with an optional curated craft beer flight, featuring regional lagers, pilsners, and seasonal selections that pay homage to the art of brewing at the heart of the story.
