Winter Solstice Vertical tasting


Celebrate the Winter Solstice at Lantern with special beer choices reflecting the culmination of darkness and a slow return to lighter days.

To represent the darker side of this season, we'll offer a vertical tasting of 5 years of our dark and complex Abbey style Quadrupel: Sombre 2015-2018 and our newly-released Sombre 2019, aged in oak wine and spirits barrels. We'll also have a set of light favorites to help guide us back toward the lighter days and provide some balance.

  • Special tasting flights offered and regular (half) pours available as well. Due to very limited quantities, growler fills will not be available on the Sombres.

  • Saturday 2-10pm Food Truck @ 4pm: Smokestack Lightning BBQ

  • Sunday 2-8pm: Serving Kaffeeklatsch German style pretzels (with special Lantern beer cheese sauce available)

This will be a special and memorable night of tasting extraordinary beer, offered only once a year. Please join us if you're able; please also note that these specials are heavyweight choices, so as always ensure you've got a DD/Lyft/Uber/walk home plan.

Cheers!
