FULL MENU

A glimpse into the taproom eats

  • A St. Louis style whole pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, and sausage on a round white plate.

    St. Louis Style Pizzas

    Cheese - Sausage - Supreme - Pepperoni - Sausage & Pepperoni

    WARNING! It is deliciously different in taste and texture than other pizza! The pizza has a thin cracker-like crust, topped with sweet tomato sauce and Provel cheese that gives it a thicker and creamy texture!

  • Paninis & Cold Cuts

    A variety of warm & cold sandwiches served with chips plus soup, pasta salad or chopped salads!

  • A cinnamon sugar pretzel with white icing on top placed on a white round surface, with a stainless steel beverage dispenser with four taps in the background.

    Jumbo Pretzels

    Sweet or savory tooth? We got you! Pick from a classic beer cheese, garlic parm, cinnamon sugar or fall spice cheesecake!
