Great Heart Brewing 1 Year Anniversary
GHBC turns one on Valentine's Day !
We are almost one year old. It feels unbelievable that we opened our doors on 2/14/2025. Over this past year we met so many incredible people. Thank you all so much for your support. We learned a lot and changed along the way. Some of you may even remember the time before full service (it feels like that was a long time ago ). Our menu expanded and we showed our chef Munich to gather new ideas and inspiration for the year ahead.
Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday this year. We will be open from 11:30AM to 10PM and are planning a full day of celebrations. Will you be our Valentine?
Live music will set the tone throughout the day. Jess will play the accordion from 12 to 2 PM, followed by our Olivette neighbor Jeremy on the guitar from 7 to 9 PM.
We will be offering a special three course set menu with optional beer and wine pairings starting at 3 PM. For the occasion we will also be releasing a Rauchbier, smoky yet still incredibly drinkable.
We are excited to serve Bier vom Fass all day (or until we run out!) We ordered barrels and will be tapping a Fass at 11:30 AM. Beer from the barrel gradually loses a bit of carbonation but gains smoothness and drinkability. It is a very special way to experience beer and a common tradition for house beers in Munich. Once tapped, the barrel must be enjoyed that day.
On the patio during the day we will be stacheln beer with a hot poker. This gently warms the beer, caramelizes the foam, and enhances the overall drinking experience.
