Starlight Braised Carnitas with Peach-Habanero Salsa
Starlight Braised Carnitas
4 lbs Pork Shoulder, cubed
1 bottle Starlight
4 cloves Garlic, crushed
4 tsp Kosher Salt
Combine pork, garlic, salt, 1 cup water, and Starlight Lager in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer for about an hour until pork is tender. Take the lid off and continue to cook until the liquid evaporates and pork begins to brown, stirring frequently to break up the pork.
Peach-Habanero Salsa
3 large Peaches, diced
1/4 c Red Onion, diced
2 Tbs Cilantro, chopped
1/2 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 Habanero, seeded & minced*
2 tsp Lime Juice
Sugar & Salt
For the salsa, combine chopped red onion, cilantro and peaches, with minced habanero and garlic. Toss with fresh lime juice, a pinch of salt and sugar. Let stand at least 20 minutes for flavors to meld.
*substitute Jalapeño for less heat, Bell Pepper for no heat

Starlight Radler
You can make this classic refresher with soda or sparkling lemonade, but this version takes it a step further with a fresh citrus syrup. Whip up a pitcher for your next backyard cookout and serve it alongside these melt-in-your-mouth carnitas. It will help curb the heat of the fiery peach-habanero salsa!
Starlight Radler
3 large Lemons
2 large Limes
3/4 c Sugar
12 oz Sparkling Water, chilled
2 bottles Starlight Lager
Halve and juice lemons & limes, reserve juice and chill. Roughly chop rinds and toss with sugar. Let stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves completely (about an hour). Add reserved juice to the macerated scraps, stir well and strain into a pitcher. Add sparkling water (mixture should be tart!). Add Starlight Lager and serve immediately.

The World Beer Cup is a biennial competition organized by the Brewers Association to celebrate the art and science of brewing. It's often referred to as the "Olympics" and is the most prestigious beer competition in the world, recognizing brewing mastery in 101 style categories.
Alpenglow struck gold again in the South German-Style Weizenbock category. Staking claim this year in silver was Midnight Moonlight, an American-Style Black Ale.
We are extremely grateful to our committed staff who continue to strive for excellence day-in and day-out. Bringing home these awards underscores their dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
Statistics: 8,234 beers were entered into competition this year from 2,515 different breweries representing 66 countries. That's a lot of great beer!

Starlight German-Style Lager Now in Bottles!
Ultra crisp and perfect for sipping all summer long, Starlight German-Style Lager is our latest release in bottles. With a low 4.9% ABV and delightfully clean, inviting character, this will be your new go-to for an easy drinking, delightful lager. Noble hops lend a subtle bitterness (29 IBU) with floral, grassy aromas balanced by German Pilsner malt.
Starlight gets its name from the Six Point Brewers' Star which symbolizes purity -- a beer that is declared completely pure of additives or extras. The six points represent the most critical aspects of the process: water, hops, grain, malt, yeast, and the brewer themselves. And there's your history lesson for today!

New Happy Hour Specials
Swing by for our ALL NEW Fat & Happy Hour Specials! Aside from enjoying $2 off ALL Fat Head's drafts, we're now also featuring $2 off our entire menu of Munchies & Apps.
Need a little inspiration? How about a basket of crispy, crunchy Frickles, or a Smokehouse Quesadilla brimming with your choice of pulled pork or chicken. If spuds are more your style, grab a heaping platter of fresh-cut fries loaded up with smoky bacon & gooey cheddar (pro-tip: sub Jalapeño-Cheddar sauce if you like things spicy). Or keep it classic with a big basket of Shrooms -- perfect for sharing. Any of these and more are all 2 bucks off weekdays from 4-6pm. Sorry, wings excluded in happy hour pricing.
