## 🥨 A Journey Through Germany: Traditions & Tastes

While it may not be October, it’s time to grab your lederhosen! Join us for an immersive exploration of Bavaria, the Black Forest, and beyond. We’ll dive into the origins of German traditions while sampling a feast prepared by our resident chef, Joe.

### 🍴 The Tasting Menu

Chef Joe has curated a massive spread featuring authentic flavors and house-made specialties:

• The Main Event: Traditional Sauerbraten with Gingersnap Gravy.
• The Schnitzel Station: Both Pork and Chicken varieties, served with Mushroom Gravy (Jäger) and Creamy Rahm Sauce.
• Sides & Staples: Authentic German Mashed Potatoes and handmade Knödel (potato dumplings).
• From the Fire: Joseph’s custom three-meat Bratwurst, grilled over an open flame.
• The Kraut Comparison: A deep dive into fermentation!
• German Style: Caraway and juniper.
• Bavarian Style: Simmered with onion, bacon fat, and white wine.
• The "Taste Test": Compare a 2-week ferment against a 1-year-old batch for a unique malolactic flavor profile.
• Dessert: Classic Black Forest Cherry Torte.

### 🍻 Pairings & Spirits

To wash it all down, we will be sampling:

• Kirsch (Cherry brandy used in our torte).
• A curated selection of German Beers and Wines.
