Look who we found?! It's Jon & Will and they are headed to our biergarten TOMORROW, THURSDAY, JUNE 11.

Music starts at 6:30. The beer is cold! Some of the food is too!
And the night will be HOT!

No worries! We have a hose and happy to soak you down! Let's embrace the summer-like weather and show them some love!

Hey gang! How’s your summer going? Kids out of school yet? Got that pool open? Grill up some glizzies? You betcha.

Summer brings such a special energy. We will be kicking off our summer Thursday night at Kernel Benny’s. Bring a lawn chair, kick off your flip flops, sit back and relax with a cold beverage… we’ll handle the rest.

Our first Local Vocal was LOUD AND PROUD with Papa Kiszka Voortex Jazz and Blues Band
WE had the greatest time wtih all of you! Thanks for being patient with our little crew.
And speaking of that.... Kernel Benny's Popcorn Frankenmuth has the greatest and hardest working team (family).
Judy Scharrer cooked ALL of your meals, Stephanie Kahn stood like a soldier in the kitchen making cocktails, Colin Bernreuter, Mary Zeller and Ron Greenia kept the coolers stocked, the storefront moving and the kegs changing... Ben Robertson had the worst case of dishpan hands from washing every dish imaginable and and myself tried our best to keep up with everyone on the patio.... THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE!
A big shout out to the band and family who truly brought a pretty epic party to the patio!
We are grateful for all of you and our community and are thank you for your continued support and all the encouraging words!
