Holidays are almost here!

Greetings!

Are you thankful? The holiday season is here. Which means soon all of your relatives will show up, invade your space, and eat you out of house and home. Let B3 help with the latter with our tasty crowd-pleasing platters. Or bring the whole gaggle on over here for a private party (call soon for party reservations).

 

Need to put a little pep into your step each Monday? Start your week off at B3 for the hilariously entertaining Earth Trivia (psst. It's not about the planet!) at the café every Monday night. Come out, have some fun and put all of your useless knowledge to good use. Check out the link to see what you're missing! Earth Trivia.
 
 

Note: Open Thanksgiving Eve until 8:00 PM. Closed Thanksgiving Day. Open the day after Thanksgiving at 8:00 AM.
 
Don't forget to support your local small stores for SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY on November 26th! "When we all shop small, it will be huge."

November Beers: The Stars at Night are Big and Bright... 

 

Spoetzl Brewery (Shiner) Texas' oldest independent brewery.

 

Founded in 1909, Spoetzl Brewery still practices the art of brewing, hand-crafting each brew one at a time, and then aging each Shiner Beer naturally for no less than thirty days to guarantee its exceptionally smooth taste in the tradition of Bavarian Brewmaster, Kosmos Spoetzl. It's a Lone Star taste you're sure to love.

 shiner beer

Shiner Bock, Texas - This distinctive beer with a rich full-color flavor and deep amber color reflects the tradition of genuine Bavarian beers, as a brew only a craftsman like Kosmos Spoetzl, trained in the "Old Country," could bring to life. Shiner Bock demonstrates the care of a handcrafted brewing process to bring forth a mellow taste, free of bitter aftertaste.  4.4% ABV

 

Shiner Hefeweizen, Texas - Hefeweizen recalls the classic beers of Bavaria as a true unfiltered wheat brew. This beer captures old-world Munich Malt, wheat grist used in a scant 1% of all brews worldwide, orange and lemon zest in a classic example of bottle-conditioned beer. Adding clover honey and yeast just before its bottled touches off a unique, secondary fermentation process inside every bottle. 5.4% ABV

 

Shiner Blonde, Texas - Blonde made its debut as the original recipe Kosmos Spoetzl brought to the "Little Brewery." A golden lager that pays tribute to its Bohemian roots, Shiner Blonde carries a distinctive flavor followed by a satisfying, smooth finish. Although Shnier Blonde owes its heritage to the German homeland, it represents the best of a true American lager. 4.4% ABV

 

We will also be serving other fine beers from the brewery including Shiner Bohemian Black Lager, Shiner Kosmos Reserve and Shiner Brewers Pride Old Time Alt.

Wines: Sweet and Simple 

 

Alright people, put your pinkies down and get your noses out of the glass. This month we're inviting you to take a break from dissecting your wine and, instead, simply enjoy it. We're offering up two very unpretentious, wonderfully delicious and endlessly drinkable sweet wines. We're keeping it sweet and simple!

cherries 

Cherry on Top Sweet White Wine (Blend), CaliforniaInviting floral aromatics, sweet lively fruit and easy-to-drink. This sweet white wine has lifted aromatics of peach cobbler complimented by fresh stone fruit and a honeyed finish. This blend is crafted from Muscat, White Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc and Viognier. If you love Moscato, you will love this!

 

Cherry on Top Sweet Red Wine (Blend), CaliforniaDeliciously sweet, lush, fruit-forward, easy-to-drink,with a smooth finish.  This sweet red wine features enticing aromas and flavors of bright red cherry, baking spice and vanilla. The luscious blend is crafted from Syrah, Zin, Merlot. 

 

For those that like their wines to be a bit bolder we will also be featuring Terrazas de Los Andes Malbec from Argentina. Terrazas de los Andes was named by Wine Spectator as "One of the 20 worldwide wineries which year after year delivers consistent high quality wines." The vineyards are in the foothills of the Andes, where each varietal is grown at the ideal altitude for optimal development. The pre-phylloxera vines are irrigated with snowmelt from the Andes. The Terrazas de Los Andes Malbec is a terrific red with sturdy, black fruit flavors; firm on the palate; soft tannins in the finish.
