Today's Beer
A collaboration with our friends at Biggerstaff Brewing, this old school West Coast IPA was bittered with CTZ co2 extract and hopped with US Willamette and NZ Pacific Jade hops throughout the boil, imparting flavors of pepper, wood, and spice that pairs perfectly with the copious amount of rye used. We dry hopped this gem with Simcoe to add layers of stone fruit and tropical citrus to complement its outstanding bitterness. We collaborated this beer together to help celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the album, "Beneath Medicine Tree" from the alternative indie rock band Copeland. Tap Date 3/28 15.7°P IBU 68 ABV 6.6%
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%
There are 11 different grains and sugars in this beer, giving it the similar complexity of a Barleywine grain bill, but it only clocks in at 3.4% ABV. Very faint nuances of dark fruit, caramel, toffee, chocolate, and coffee, with just enough earthy English hops for balance; get the flavor and drink more than one. OG 1.035 IBU 14 ABV 3.4%
Czech Pilsner-the King of Pilsners! Inspired by our brewer's favorite beer, Pilsner Urquell, this pilsner is the perfect example of a Czech Premium Pale Lager. Rich, complex, bready malt flavors combined with spicy Czech Saaz hops to bring you a true Bohemian Pilsner experience! Tap Date 8/5 11.5°P IBU 42 ABV 4.6%
This new batch of Juice Willis is hopped with Vic Secret, Mosaic & Simcoe. We utilized biotransformation technique in the brewing process to fully showcase the hop aromas and flavors. Expect peachy dankness and grapefruit citrus flavors with tropical fruit sweetness.
“Brotherhood.” This delicious German delight was brewed with our new friends at Indio Brewing Company in Sugar Hill Ga! A Munich Dunkel is very easy drinking dark German Lager. Expect a complex maltiness with notes of caramel, toffee and rich chocolate. We used a heavy amount of German Munich malts as well as a moderate amount of Chocolate Spelt malt. This beer was moderately hopped with Zuper Sazzer hops from our friends at HopHead Farms in Michigan. Cheers, Jonathan Martinez! Tap Date 3/21 11.6°P IBU 22 ABV 4.8%
Our milk stout brewed with a blend of Maris Otter, multiple specialty malts, and lactose sugar imparts aromas of milk chocolate and dark toffee.
The "beautiful house" is back! This beer features a combination of Pilsner and Heritage malts as well as Malted Corn from Riverbend Malt in NC, providing notes of toasted bread, soft caramel, and a subtle graininess. A healthy addition of Czech Saaz hops rounds out this thirst-quenching concoction designed to help you beat the heat! Tap Date 11.16 OG 1.049 IBU 20 ABV 5.1%
Papillon, the Belgian word for butterfly and the Inman Park neighborhood mascot is a spring time staple. Our Witbier is a light-bodied, Belgian wheat beer made with un-malted wheat, oats, and barley, to which we have added dried kumquat and orange peel, coriander, and chamomile; the spicing regiment provides notes of bright citrus & gentle spice.
A delicious Belgian Blonde Ale brewed with Belgian candy sugar to make this beer light and refreshing. Belgian yeast imparts a combination of delicate fruit esters and subtle spicy notes that are carried throughout the palate. Thanks to heavy use of German Noble hops, this beer is surprisingly dry and hoppy yet balanced to bring you a very drinkable Belgian beer. Tap Date 4/22 12°P ABV 5.4%
Dance for the arrival of Spring. Breath deep the green. Hear the buzzing of bees. Celebrate the end of death, greet life with open arms! Maibock is a beer for celebration and renewal. Have a sip, or a hearty draught, let its warm bready malt notes revive you. Delight in its floral and vinous hop tones. Drink and enjoy. Prost! Tap Date 5/1 OG 1.069, IBU 29, ABV 7.5%
Our house gose, soured with yogurt then salted with a blend of sea salts we've perfected with our friends over at Beautiful Briny Sea in Grant Park. The beer was then dosed with Thai and sweet basil, fermented on grapefruit juice and pulp, and aged on grapefruit zest. Tap Date 9/20 OG 1.044 IBU. 5 ABV 4.5%

BEER

Brewing on a 7 barrel system, Bill Arnold & Ryan Donald have developed a beer program that focuses on perfecting classic styles such as Kolsch, Pilsner, ESB, IPA, barrel aged strong beer and session styles. This classic list is balanced with more experimental styles: milkshake IPA’s, 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 new Executive Chef, Mikey Staniewicz is bringing fresh farm-to-table flavors, while staying rooted in pub classics. We source from local bakeries, dairies, and farms ( including our own ), 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.”
