It’s the end of August, which means we have a bit of time left for a few more summer specials. Like a shrimp boil. We haven’t had one of those around here for a month of Sundays. So why not.

Just like pickin’ crabs, a shrimp boil is all about being together with family and friends and plenty of cool, refreshing Lager Bier.

The Gunpowder Falls Brewing Shrimp Boil is a blend of Louisiana and Lowcountry styles with red potatoes, corn on the cob, Andouille sausage, and shrimp flavored with garlic and lemon. However, we go easy on the Cajun boil spices and add a bit more J.O. seasoning to it. (Afterall, not everyone this far north can handle true Cajun heat.)

This might make us a bit odd, but we like our food to have flavor. And we aren’t against a bit of heat in it either. (It kind of helps people drink more Bier, which helps us stay in business.) While all our Lager Biers go well with this meal, the clear thirst quencher here is the Helles. It’s light, clean and refreshing.

The Gunpowder Falls Brewing Shrimp Boil is served with our Housemade Bread. (Yes, we’re baking our own bread for this one people.) It comes with a Bier. $22.97 Available Friday, Saturday and Sunday while supplies last.

Jack and Jill went to Gunpowder Falls Brewing to get a plate of thighs

The thighs were fried and came with fries

And a Bier was served as well.

The Bier was a Lager, so clean and sweet

Jill thought it was a mighty fine treat.

As for Jack, he did not stray towards an IPA

Or there’d be no rolling in the hay.

Come roll with us this Thursday night for our Thighs ‘N Fries with a Bier for just $13.97 or our Burger ‘N Bier with Fries for just $16.97.

At Gunpowder Falls Brewing, we ain’t whistling Dixie when it comes to Bier and food. (...but we might give a yodel or two;) We’ve often heard our brewery and restaurant referred to as “that German” place, and we get it. If our Lager Biers weren’t so good and authentic, we wouldn’t have earned that reputation. (Seriously, when was the last time you knew of a brewery referred to as “that IPA” place? Exactly.) However, a fair number of our food offerings aren’t German at all. Take this weekend’s special – Jambalaya. Not very German but that’s what we have, and a damn good plate it is.

Specifically, we’re having Creole style jambalaya. Creole jambalaya (also called "red jambalaya") is made with tomatoes. The meats traditionally used include sausage such as andouille, along with pork, chicken or seafood (which is less common), such as crawfish or shrimp. The vegetables are a sofrito-like mixture known as the "trinity" in Creole and Cajun cooking, consisting of onion, celery, and green bell pepper, though other vegetables such as okra, carrots, corn, chilis and garlic are also used. After browning and sauteing the meat and vegetables, rice is added with seasonings and broth, and the entire dish is cooked together until the rice is done.

While jambalaya is eaten year-round in Louisiana, cool refreshing Lager Bier is definitely needed to beat the heat. Fun fact here. German immigrants are one of the oldest and most foundational cultural groups in Louisiana. Their presence goes back to the 1720s. By the 19th century, they were establishing breweries which meant a fine supply of quenchable Lager Bier. Bier that tempered the spices used in Creole and Cajun cooking. At Gunpowder Falls Brewing there are four year-round Bier styles to choose from, each pairing well with the Creole style jambalaya.

The Gunpowder Falls Brewing Creole style Jambalaya made with chicken, andouille and shrimp. Served with cornbread. Comes with a Bier. $19.97 Available Friday, Saturday and Sunday while supplies last.

Jack be nimble. Jack be quick. Jack better hurry up to Gunpowder Falls Brewing lickity split…The hamburgers are warm. The thighs are fried. This must mean it’s Thursday Night.

For those in the know, every Thursday Gunpowder Falls Brewing has Doorbuster deals with Thighs ‘N Fries and a Bier for just $13.97 and Burger ‘N Bier with Fries for just $16.97.

It’s a noted fact that brown bears and grizzlies love salmon. It’s also a fact that at Gunpowder Falls Brewing we do, too. Coincidence? We don’t think so. At Gunpowder Falls Brewing, we also LOVE our German style Lager Biers. So what’s a brewery to do? Put them together for a weekend special. Duh.

The Gunpowder Falls Brewing Salmon BLT on housemade herb Focaccia with thick cut applewood smoked Bacon, Romaine Lettuce, and summer fresh Tomato. Served with a side of our handcut Fries. Comes with a Bier. $20.97. Available Friday, Saturday and Sunday while supplies last.

About that cool, refreshing Lager Bier, the (Salmon) BLT was clearly meant to go with one, like the Gunpowder Falls Brewing Pilsner. It’s clean, crisp and genuinely pleasant. The way a Lager Bier should be. Frankly, all of the Lager Biers we brew go well with this sandwich. It’s really a matter of which you prefer. (Soda and IPAs, not so much. Those tend to leave a “meh” experience, and there’s far too much “meh” going around.)

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do. Obviously, not a very bright woman. If she was, she would have taken them all to Gunpowder Falls Brewing on Thursday Night where they have a Thighs ‘N Fries with a Bier special for just $13.97 or a Burger ‘N Bier with Fries special for just $16.97.

There’s nothing fishy about this meal. Just a quality plate of fresh caught Cod fried in a golden crust of Gunpowder Falls Brewing Bier batter with housecut fries and a side of coleslaw. Comes with a Bier. $23.97 Available Friday, Saturday and Sunday while supplies last.

The all-American classic hamburger is widely cited as the most popular single dish in the United States. That’s actually quite remarkable if you think about all the different meal options available today. At Gunpowder Falls Brewing, we respect the hamburger with our Thursday Burger ‘N Bier (with Fries) special for just $16.97. And for those who think we should eat more chicken, we also have a fried chicken Thighs ‘N Fries (with a Bier) special for just $13.97, but there’s not much respect there. It’s just chicken.

A little heat. A little humidity. It’s gonna be a nice summer weekend at Gunpowder Falls Brewing. One of those weekends where a number of cool, refreshing, Lager Biers and a plate of Tex-Mex cooking hits the spot just right. A Tex-Mex meal that isn’t very heavy but has flavors of intense savory filling your mouth and the clean, crisp refreshing Lager Bier to wash it all down. Carnitas is what we’re talking about here amigos.

It is a dish made by braising, simmering and frying pork. Making Carnitas takes about three to four hours, and the result is exceptionally tender and juicy meat. It is typically served with chopped cilantro, diced onion, salsa, tortillas, and refried beans.

Interestingly, Lager Bier happens to pair exceptionally well with Tex-Mex. It’s a “thing” like Bier and pizza. Afterall, IPAs could have been the beer of choice for Mexican food, but…no. All the Mexican breweries including those in Texas were started and operated by Germans and Austrians. So…just sayin’. We have 4 exceptional Lager Biers on tap, each is exceptionally tasty with Carnitas.

The Gunpowder Falls Brewing Carnitas Platter. Served with housemade Refried Beans and Mexican Rice. Comes with a Bier. $17.97 Available Friday, Saturday and Sunday while supplies last.

"The sky is falling, the sky is falling!", said Chicken Little. Fortunately, the only thing that fell was Chicken Little and his friends…Gunpowder Falls Brewing will be having its Thursday Night special of 3 Fried Chicken Thighs with Fries and a Bier for just $13.97. Henny Penny suggests the Burger ‘N Bier with Fries Special for $16.97 though.
