Moeller Brew Barn Releases Holiday Beers

By

Moeller Brew Barn is preparing for a successful end to 2020 with the release of several new brews, including Peppermint Bark Silo Seltzer and Roasted Hazelnut Milk Porter in early November.  To pair with Troy Main Street’s upcoming Enchanted Wonderland Weekend, the Troy location, along with the Maria Stein location, are set to release a Peppermint Bark Silo Seltzer.

“We are so excited that Moeller Brew Barn is joining our downtown merchants in the festivities by releasing their new Peppermint Bark Seltzer. It has been so much fun to have Moeller Brew Barn in downtown Troy and we love all the ways they work to support the Troy Community,” mentioned Andrea Keller, Executive Director at Troy Main Street. “We hope everyone will come enjoy downtown Troy’s Enchanted Wonderland Weekend, and we hope that while you’re here you’ll grab a bite to eat and try a new holiday drink at Moeller Brew Barn!”

The Enchanted Wonderland Weekend will be held the first weekend of November with the Peppermint Bark Seltzer being released on Friday, November 6. The beverage will be the first wintery Silo Seltzer in Moeller’s history. A week after its release, the Roasted Hazelnut Milk Porter will hit the taps, an annual tradition.“Our milky-sweet chocolate porter is blended with roasted hazelnuts,” said Moeller. “If you’re looking to indulge, this is the one for you. It’s a perfect pair for the cooler temperatures.”

In early October, Salted Caramel Coffee Ale was released in both Taproom locations. The success of the ale, with 5.2% ABV and 25 IBU, has proven significant. Six-packs can be purchased at participating retailers statewide, and Salted Caramel can be found on tap in both Moeller Brew Barn Taprooms and at various establishments across the state of Ohio. “This year’s salted caramel coffee ale boasts a big aroma of something salty and sweet. All the flavors round out well in its medium body and hop bitterness. Crack one open, give it a vigorous pour, and enjoy,” said Nick Moeller, owner of Moeller Brew Barn.

Every week through November and December, additional seltzer and beer releases will be announced to celebrate the season. To learn more about these various releases, visit Moeller Brew Barn’s online untappd menu or www.moellerbrewbarn.com.

The McRib is Coming Back

By

I’ve never understood the fascination with this pork sandwich that McDonald’s seems to roll out about once a year for a limited time.  If it was all that great, wouldn’t the add it to the menu?

But for those of you that are fans, mark your calendar for December 2nd when this fan-favorite returns. Not familiar? It’s seasoned boneless pork, swimming in a smoky, tangy barbecue sauce. It’s then topped with slivered onions and tart pickles on the bun to round out the flavor profile.

The McRib has been a beloved menu item at McDonald’s since its inception nearly 40 years ago,” Linda VanGosen, vice president of menu innovation, said in a statement. “There’s nothing quite like the taste of the McRib. To our customers, it’s become more than a delicious, saucy moment … It’s a season, and it’s taking the internet by storm. That’s why this year, we’re proud to serve the McRib nationwide for everyone to enjoy.”

New Tipp City Burger Delivery Opens Tomorrow

By

Chef Rob Scott, a Tipp City native and the owner of Greenfire Fresh, is launching a new eatery that will operate out of the same kitchen and only serve their gourmet burgers for delivery.

This concept, known as a ghost restaurant, has become very popular around the country during the pandemic.   These virtual restaurants or cloud kitchen, are foodservice establishment that offers take-out only. These “ghostly” eateries don’t have a storefront, so customers can’t come to pick up their own food. Ghost restaurants deliver food directly to their patrons.

Burgers & More, according to their website, will offer Chef Rob’s classic 6oz burger with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and  house made garlic aioli. Served on a broche bun with fries, a Jerk Burger, topped with red onion, pineapple, lettuce & munster cheese with a side of fries,  a Salmon burger, buffalo chicken burger or a spicy black bean burger- all burgers run $13.

Other menu offerings include fried pickle spears, spinach artichoke dip, wings, gyro,  chicken bacon ranch and buffalo chicken flatbreads.

Igloo Dining Anyone?

By

It’s hard to miss these two large plastic igloos when you drive down Second Street.  Mudlick proprietor Jen Dean explained that with the popularity of their patio during the pandemic they were really worried about what the change of weather would do to their business, so bringing in these plastic pods made sense.

Their patio seating has been very popular, and the cities support of the pop-up-patio extensions has been a huge factor in Mudlick being able to stay open during this pandemic. With the loss of business from things like theater being cancelled and area businesses working from home it’s been a rough 8 months for this downtown buisness. Being able to extend the outdoor dining season will make a big difference to the bottom, Dean shared.

Two igloos were  put up on the patio yesterday, with a third on backorder.  When dining in an igloo you’re completely insulated from other people. So you’re not only further than 6 feet away, there’s actually a barrier between you and everyone else.

Each igloo will seat a party of up to eight, will be warmed by electric heat, and  sanitized in between parties.  On a nice, sunny day just with solar energy from the sun will  warm up the igloos, very similara to a greenhouse.They have a zippered door that can stay open in nicer weather and two small triangle shaped windows that can be opened as well.

 

Dean says phones are already ringing with people asking about them.  They can be reserved in two hour increments, with a minimum spend of $200.

Of course, socially distanced inside dining is still an option and Mudlick does have a 2nd floor that can be booked for parties of up to 60, keeping six foot spacing in place.

To reserve your igloo experience call the restaurant or email [email protected]
