Here’s what’s on tap:

• Warsteiner German Pilsner (ABV 4.8%) – Crisp, clean, and refreshing—the best of German beer engineering.
• Warsteiner Premium Dunkel (ABV 4.8%) – A smooth, dark amber beer with rich flavor.
• König Ludwig Weissbier (ABV 8.5%) – A lively Bavarian wheat beer with fruity aroma and full body.
• Heineken 0.0 (ABV 0%) – A tasty, alcohol-free option that still delivers great flavor.

Sodas and water will also be available.

Please drink responsibly.
