Bierstacheln (beer spike) is the act of poking a beer with a red hot iron. Why?!?! Originally to warm up beers in the colder weather, but pleasantly found that the heat caramelizes sugars in the beer and creates a soft fluffy head and creamier beer mouthfeel (think nitro beer). Join us and Jack’s Abby and get poked at the Bear! FREE tasting glasses from Jack’s Abby while supplies last and a sampling of their brews (until 5:30pm). We will be poking beers all night!
