Life is busy, and it’s so easy to lose track of time, to fall out of touch, to get swallowed up by the grind, to be inundated with choices and tradeoffs, and it can get exhausting.
Slow down. Reconnect. Rekindle.
We are so thrilled to welcome back one of our most asked about and sought after events, traditional Kolsch service at Brouwerij DuBois. What is Traditional Kolsch Service? Well, in Cologne, Germany, when you visit a Kolsch house, you only get served Kolsch. Nothing else. And table service is the method of choice. So you enter, find a seat, and a server will begin by bringing you a coaster and a Kolsch in .2L glass, which is just over 6 ounces. As you finish one glass, another is brought to replace it, with a tick being added to your coaster for each small glass of Kolsch you consume. When you are done, you can place your coaster on top of your glass to signify that you do not wish for more drink. And when you are ready to leave, you simply pay for each of the ticks on your coaster. Pretty simple, huh?!
But here’s the twist: we want you to take this opportunity to come enjoy Kolsch with friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, church mates, etc., and we invite you to specifically reach out to someone who you haven’t had a chance to spend time with for awhile. In a word, we invite you to Rekindle.
Why do this on Kolsch Night? Well, because it’s the perfect opportunity to let the conversations flow, to really stay in tune with your fellow imbibers, and to avoid distractions and the busy-ness around you. You don’t have to go back to the bar to order, you don’t have to chose between dozens of options, you don’t have to wave down the server, and you don’t have to do much of anything other than just BE with the person(s) you came with. What could be better than that?
And to top it off, we are lining up supper for everyone, which is covered in your payment.
We are currently booking full tables of 2, 4, or 6, plus single bar seats. Choose tables inside or outside when registering. The cost is $22 per seat, which covers each participants meal for the evening. For example, a table for 4 would be $88, but that includes a plate for all four individuals. Participants are asked to “close out their tab” at the end of the night by taking their coaster to the pay station, where our hosts will ring up each tick mark as a $2.50 beer pour.
A few important notes:
1) There are no substitutions on the food menu, and no other bar drinks will be available for the evening with the exception of self-serve ice water.
2) We will begin promptly at 6 PM so we ask you and your guests to arrive by 6:15 at the latest to be seated.
3) Supper service will take place from 6:30 PM to 7 PM for all participants.
4) You can stay for as long as you would like or leave when you wish. You do not have to stay the entire three hours!
5) Registration online is required and serves as a reservation of your specific table, and is therefore non-refundable!
6) Space is limited, so sign up soon to ensure your spot!
This promises to be a quaint, intimate, and fulfilling event crafted to ensure that you and your guests get to truly engage deeply with one another with little distraction. We hope you will join us!
TWO NOTES ON REGISTERING:
1) When you add your reservation to the cart, make sure you then visit your cart (icon in the top corner) and proceed to checkout!
