Potato Pancakes with House-Made Apple Sauce – $5.25
Rank out of 7: 4
Basically, it is what is it says it is. You can taste the onions, hash brown flavor of the potato, and applesauce. It’s a very simple dish, but delivers what it says. With so many other options, we’d probably recommend other dishes. This one’s nothing terribly special.
Toasted Pretzel Bread topped with Black Forest Ham and Melted Gruyère Cheese – $6.00
Rank out of 7: 7
We don’t even know the proper words to describe how unexpectedly amazing this dish was. The pretzel bread was filled with a gooey cheese and black forest ham that oozed out when we cut into it. All of the flavors mix wonderfully together making one of the best items we’ve ever had at Flower & Garden since they started Outdoor Kitchens.
Warm Cheese Strudel with Mixed Berries – $4.75
Rank out of 7: 6
The strudel was a perfect combination of fruit, cheese, and flaky crust. Everything came out warm, making for a very good dessert.
Bitburger Premium Pils, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany (4.8% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.
Bitburger describes their Premium Pils as “bright golden yellow in color, with a lasting white foam head with extra-fine bubbles,” with an aroma of “pure, delicate notes of honey, ripe cereal grains, white bread and aromatic mountain herbs,” and having a “delicate effervescence mixed with a crisp and fruity taste, a touch of malty sweetness, rounded off with a distinctive hoppiness that lingers harmoniously on the palate.”
Stiegl Brewery Radler Raspberry, Salzburg, Austria (2.0% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.
From Stiegl Brewery: “Fruity-sweet raspberry lemonade together with full-bodied Stiegl Goldbräu makes the typical Austrian treat complete. The natural cloudiness of this refreshing beer reflects its all-natural quality. A pleasant, berry opening leads to a full-bodied, slightly tart beer aroma and provides sweet, zesty refreshment for everyday enjoyment.”
*NEW* Flensburger Dunkel, Flensburg, Germany (4.8% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.
From Flensburger Brauerei: “Our amber-colored, bottom-fermented dark beer with a natural malty flavor. Only carefully selected dark-caramelized malts are used in the brewing process. Well-balanced notes of caramel, toffee and mildly roasted coffee round up its taste. Its malty taste is underlined by a fine bitterness typical for our Northern German heritage.”
Apfelschaumwein: Sparkling Wine and Apple Liqueur – $10.50
Rank out of 7: 5
This was similar to ice wine, but it would have been better if it had been colder. The fresh rosemary sprig gave it a nice herbal flavor, helping cut down the overwhelming sweetness of the spiced apple taste. This is a unique drink that you can’t easily get, so we recommend trying it at least once.
