Today's Beer
A dopplebock is a bigger and stronger version of the lower-gravity German-style bock beers. A very rich and complex malt profile with flavors of burnt sugar, toasted bread, and hints of dark fruit and raisins. We brewed ours on the lighter ABV side to help ensure drinkability without being too cloyingly sweet and boozy. Expect a smooth and warming malt flavor with that finishes clean and refreshing! Perfect for the cold weather that is rite around the corner.
This version of Juice Willis is packed with over 4 pounds per barrel of Mosaic, Galaxy, and Sabro hops. Lush notes of tangerine, passionfruit, vanilla, and subtle pine are presented with a velvety soft mouthfeel. This version is extra crushable and best consumed fresh. Enjoy! Tap Date 4/13 OG 1.060 IBU 50 ABV 6.5%
This spiced Wheat Bock was brewed with orange peel, ginger, and cinnamon. We used dark crystal and chocolate malts to help balance and enrich the malt flavor of this wonderful seasonal offering. Expect a rich and complex malt flavor that will warm your bones! If not, you can use these extra gloves; our hands are getting kinda sweaty! Inspired by Samuel Adams Winter Lager. Tap date 12/14 14°P IBU 26 ABV 5.9%
This barleywine was rested in a TN whiskey barrel and was then sent to the cellar to age to perfection ABV 12.6%
A traditional Munich Helles brewed with 100% Weyerman malts. This delicious lager has a subtle sweetness to it that is accompanied by a predominate malty flavor that exhibits toasted, bread-like characteristics. Hallertau Mittlefruh, Halleratua Hersbrucker, Tettnanger hops all play a small role in balancing this quaffable German Lager delight! Prost!. Tap Date 6/15 9.7 °P IBU 25 ABV 4.8%
As this beer enters the battlefield it becomes almost an exact copy of a Rye Doppelbock we brewed several turns ago. Munich malt was used as the base and then we added some rye malt and Magnum hops for a bit of complexity. We also bumped the ABV up a bit to bring it into the "Strong Beer" category. We'd love to hear your feedback on this one, we want it to be better than every beer you’ve ever had. Tap Date 12/7 O.G. 1.082 IBU 26 ABV 8.9%
As Double IPAs go Big Slurp is a classic. A substantial malt backbone hefts the weight of 104 IBUs, but manages to pull off the trick with balanced grace. Hopped with Chinook, Centennial, Eureka, and Mosaic this beer is grounded with grapefruit and resin, but pops with fruit and melon notes. All at once hoppy and malty this beer is a celebration of balance. Cheers! Tap Date 11/5 OG 1.080 IBU 104 ABV 8.5%
For those that want a beer with complex malt flavors, without the extra roastiness of a stout, our Oatmeal Porter is your beer. This Porter contains prominent notes of chocolate, biscuits, and dark fruit and is smoothed out by a big portion of flaked oats, with just enough English hops to balance. Tap Date 1/10 OG 1.056 IBU 30 ABV 5.2%
Our newest kettle sour fermented on Cypress wood, Key lime juice, zest and vanilla beans. Served on NITRO to accentuate the creaminess. ABV 4.5%
Don’t let the color of this beer fool you, a Schwarzbier is a traditional German style lager designed to be deceptively drinkable. Ours is “Americanized” in the slightest with just a touch of extra roasty flavor, but this is every bit as crisp and quaffable as any lager or Kolsch. Tap Date 7/10 OG 1.055 IBU 32 ABV 5.9%
An ale/lager hybrid that is between amber and brown in color, this beer is of the Northern German Altbier style. There is a nice amount of biscuit, toffee, and caramel in the malt aroma and flavor, noticeable at the forefront and fades to a dry finish: a nice lingering, but not strong bitterness. ABV 5.3%
Break out the steins, it's the most wonderful time of the year! We brewed this German style Festbier in celebration of the arrival of the cooler autumn weather. Brewed with 100% German barley, hops from Seitz farm in Bavaria, and our house lager strain. This beer is full of malty goodness, yet not too filling, to maintain its crisp drinkability. Prost! Tap Date 9/18 OG 1.058 IBU 28.8 ABV 5.8%
Its 2009. Citra is the newest hop. Dogfish 60 Minute IPA is the craziest IPA ever brewed. Lactose Brewers are in middle school. Life is great. Enjoy this incredible blast from the past West Coast IPA! Bursting with notes of citrus, pine, and dank mango supported by a gooey malt presence that helps showcase this wonderful hop. Our newest IPA is sure to please that bitter beer sensation that has seemingly vanished over the past few years. Tap Date 5/11 15°P ABV 6.2%
Our BA Russian Imperial Stout infused with cocoa nibs, vanilla, cinnamon, two types of chilis. ABV 12.5%

BEER

Brewing on a 7 barrel system, Tim Schiavone runs a beer program that focuses on perfecting classic styles such as Helles, Pilsner, ESB, IPA, barrel aged strong beer and session styles. This classic list is balanced with more experimental styles: fruited gose’s and farmhouse ales, to name a few. Over the last seven years we’ve also developed a barrel aging program, aging stouts, barleywines, and scotch ales in bourbon and rum barrels to bring out the beers best characteristics, winning a Silver Medal in Barrel Aged Strong Ales at the Great American Beer Festival in 2018 for our Willett Bourbon Barrel Aged Ye Old Sprinklerhead Barleywine.

FOOD

Our Executive Chef, Matt Crutchfield, is bringing fresh farm-to-table flavors, while staying rooted in pub classics. We source from local bakeries, dairies, and farms, and believe it’s important to support the local economy and build relationships. The menu keeps a few classics on constantly, while the rest changes to reflect the season, highlighting produce and flavors at their peak.

History

“The Victor H. Kriegshaber House is historically significant for its association with Victor Hugo Kriegshaber, who was a leader in the cultural and economic development of Atlanta during the first third of the century, and the original owner of this house. He commissioned the building to be designed by architect Willis F. Danny just before 1900 and lived there with his family until 1924.The Kriegshaber residence is a fine example of Denny’s work; he practiced only a few years in Atlanta before his early death at 31 due to pneumonia, but managed to design many of the city’s most prestigious public and private structures before 1905. Stylistically, the house is a noteworthy transitional statement combining late Victorian and eclectic details.

Kriegshaber was born in 1859 to Prussian immigrants living in Louisville, Kentucky. He did not make his home in Atlanta until 1889, when he left his civil engineer’s position with the Central of Georgia Railway to become a contractor and soon after president for forty-three years of his own building materials supply company. Nine years after his arrival in Atlanta, Kriegshaber was able to afford his elegant showplace on the periphery of Inman Park. He served in executive positions for countless businesses, civic, philanthropic, and cultural organizations. In addition to his building material supply business, Kriegshaber was the founder and first president of the Atlanta Terra Cotta Company, a director of the Atlanta Art Glass Co. and vice-president of the National Builders’ Supply Association. He was a director of the Chamber of Commerce and, in 1914, was part of the committee from the Chamber that spearheaded the new development at Lakewood for the Southeastern Fair. The Fair opened in 1916, the same year that Kriegshaber served as president of the Chamber of Commerce.

A charter member of the Rotary Club, Kriegshaber also served as director of the local council of the Boy Scouts of America, as president of the Jewish Charities and of the Jewish Educational Alliance and was director of the Hebrew Orphan’s Home. He was instrumental in establishing the city’s first public playgrounds for children and was later vice-president of the Playground Association of America. In 1905, Kriegshaber was one of the organizers of the Standard Club, serving as its first vice-president.

Kriegshaber served on the executive committee of the Atlanta Music Festival Association from its founding in 1909 until his death. The first Atlanta Music Festival, held in 1909 in the just completed Auditorium, was such a tremendous success that the Atlanta Music Festival Association inaugurated in 1910 the first of nearly twenty annual spring visits by the Metropolitan Opera to Atlanta’s Municipal Auditorium. In addition, his belief in the ability of local musicians and choristers led to the establishment of the Atlanta Philharmonic Society, of which he was president at his death in 1934.”
