Football is back!

We’re excited to celebrate the Wisconsin Badgers season opener on Friday Aug. 31 with a Watch Party.

Of course, the game will be on our big screen as Wisconsin hosts Western Kentucky at 8:00 p.m., but that’s not all.

We’ll also be introducing our Badger game drink special we’ll have all season long with $12 buckets of Badger Club Amber from Wisconsin Brewing Company.

It will also be the first Badgers game we’ll be offering our Tailgate Bierock, which is only available on Packers and Badgers game days until the end of the season.

The Tailgate Bierock is stuffed with bratwurst, cheese curds and sauerkraut, seasoned with caraway and wrapped in a dough like all the bierocks on our menu.

To honor our northside roots, the bratwurst comes to us courtesy of Jim’s Meat Market via Capitol Centre Market.

Jim’s Meat Market recently closed its nearby Northport Ave. location after its lease ended when Kwik Trip purchased PDQ.

The cheese curds come to us from Carr Valley in La Valle, Wis.

We’re hoping the Badgers give us reason to “Jump Around” that evening.

On Wisconsin!
