Big News: Beer Garden at Huber Haus

image: wikipedia.org

I'm especially excited about this news.  For many years I've longed for outdoor seating at the Huber Haus.  After visiting Germany several years ago, I really got a taste for beer gardens and I've been itching for someone to do it here in Omaha.

Starting Fri, Jun 15, the Huber Haus will open a summer beer garden with seating for 50 people.  It will be located just outside the Huber Haus back door, and will be open from 4:00 p.m. until midnight on Fridays only.

They will have a grill with great German food for purchase in addition to beer specials.  The beer garden will be seasonal.  The full schedule of dates will be announced soon

Something else to note, the beer garden will be non-smoking.

In other Huber Haus news, they will have 4 new beers in bottle form starting this week…

“First we have two from the Weltenburger Abbey Brewery, a Benedictine monastery in Weltenburg in Kelheim on the Danube River in Bavaria. Founded in 620 it is the oldest monastery in Bavaria.


The first beer is Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock, (6.9%) a strong, dark Doppelbock. It is malty-aromatic, sweet, pleasantly heavy, with an intensive fragrance and strong flavor named after a brilliant painter and architect Cosmas Damian Asam.


The second is the Weletnburger Kloster Barock Dunkel (4.7%) known as the world's oldest dark beer. It is full-bodied, with fine malt aromas, slightly bitter with some sweetness, overall creamy and delicious. This one could bring back vacation memories for some of you.


Next is Innstadt Stadl-Bier, an Oktoberfest or Marzen seasonal from Passau Germany. This Bier pours a golden yellow,  it is medium-bodied, crisp, with malty, sweet flavors, showing just a hint of hops bitterness on the finish (5.4%).


Lastly, is Schlägel Doppel Bock, brewed by Stiftsbrauerei Schlägel in Austria, this is a full-bodied, refreshing and robust beer. The flavor is rich and malty, bready, a touch of caramel with the warming presence of alcohol on the palate. The hops are present on the finish providing a subtle bitterness to cut the sweet ever so slightly (8.3%).


All of these bottles are regularly priced at $6.75, but this Wednesday they will be $5.50 for Mug Club members only giving you even more reason to try them.”
