Tickets are $50 and also include three drinks. Severance is brewing a Kolsch, which is a style of beer originating in Cologne, Germany. The meal will start with German sausage and pretzel bites with dipping mustards. The main course is rouladen, beef rolled with bacon, onion, mustard and pickles and then simmered in gravy, along with semmelknodel, or bread dumplings, and rotkohl, which is braised German red cabbage. Dessert will be apfelstrudel. Get tickets at severancebeer.com.
