Brewery Ardennes Taproom & Kitchen

So we *may* have been a little excited about the premiere of The Great British Bake Off, so much so that we made 3 scrumptious desserts for this week's menu! Belgian Chocolate Panna Cotta, Pumpkin Spiced Crème Brûlée and Grape & Cheese Tart. We could be convinced to make them into a dessert flight... 😀 The secret to pairing desserts with beer and/or wine? Don't make the bake overly sweet.

Time to cozy up with one of Chef Jayden's Weekly Features! This savory bouillabaisse of cod, mussels and shrimp has a flavor-packed saffron & tomato broth with fennel, leek & roasted red pepper rouille. Pairs great with our newest releases Oktoberfest Märzen or Fresh Hop IPA. Yum!

Count your lucky starch: there's a few days left of September to celebrate National Potato Month Belgian style! Dip these handcut, twice fried Frites with abandon with housemade sauces like customer fav garlic aioli, Belgian-inspired tangy andalouse sauce plus new additions like zesty sauce (horseradish lemon) or roasted tomato parmesan. 🥔🍟🍺🍷

Ooooh - did you know there are just TWO Jazz Five Thirsty Thursday Happy Hours left this season?! Join us tonight for some amazing guitar from 5:30pm-7:30pm with the Dennis Winge Duo with Drew Serafini plus Mussel Madness!

Caption this gaze of Brewer & Cellar Master Cory from today's brew session.

"Nearest experience to Belgium I have ever found in the US. Fabulous beer, food, service, ambience. Housed in a restored 1909 barn that has been beautifully restored - great in any weather." Thanks to all for visiting this past weekend, which felt like our first taste of Fall! Come by and visit this week for delicious Chef specials and a pint of Oktoberfest Märzen and Belgian Pumpkin Ale before they're gone.

The key to mischief: a Frenchie with a grin.

3 down…1 to go…

Belgian Fresh Hop IPA is here! Within hours of harvest, Chinook hops from our Beer Gardens and Comet hops from Pedersen Farms were added to the brew kettle. Fresh or wet hop IPA are mild and generally lack bitterness - they're surprisingly delicate with light floral notes, a touch of citrus and aromas of fresh herbs. Come try a pint or ask us for a Sidecar pour to give it a try - you might be a convert!

We're pouring today until 8pm and tomorrow 11am-6pm. Come enjoy the Beer Gardens on this beautiful Fall day - both before and after the cows come home!

In celebration of National Sour Day, we're excited to release our latest batch of Flanders Red which has slumbered in French oak barrels for almost a year.

A style that's uniquely Belgian, Flanders Reds are fruity with notes of plums and raspberries. The addition of wild yeasts make it pleasantly sour These ales are often described as the most "wine" or "sherry" like of all beers with Rodenbach's Flemish Red Ale and Duchesse de Bourgogne from Brouwerij Verhaeghe - Vichte as great examples.

Come try this wonderful style and take a bottle home for your cellar!

Honored to be on this list with other amazing breweries - great spots to hit on a fall roadtrip!

It's almost time for madness...Mussel Madness that is! Come in for a pot of Savory Mussels with garlic, shallot & mustard or get a little crazy with Chef Jayden’s Zesty Mussels with summer corn, habaneros and a touch of coconut milk. We'll help you pair a great wine or beer with your pot for $20. Plus live jazz with Jim E Leggs tonight - what's not to love?!? 🍺 🍷 🦪 🎶

From bine to brew kettle: hops harvest of our farm hops and lots more from went straight into the brewhouse for this year’s fresh hop Belgian IPA. Coming in about 2 weeks to a glass near you!
