Fox River Brewing Company

Tappers

Dating back to 1846, the city of Oshkosh has deep roots in brewing fine beers http://oshkoshbeertimeline.blogspot.com/. Fox River Brewing Company opened on the Fox River in Oshkosh, late 1995. Under the name of Fratellos (meaning brothers) and Fox River Brewing Co., the Supple Brothers, long-standing restaurateurs, dove into the brewing industry.

CHEERS TO FIFTEEN YEARS

NOW AVAILABLE AT FRATELLOS/FOX RIVER BREWING COMPANY   OSHKOSH AND FOX RIVER MALL, APPLETON

For a limited time.

OUR FIRST EVER BARLEYWINE AVAILABLE ON DRAUGHT

XV

Anniversary Barleywine

1997 - 2012

DESCRIPTION

Barleywine Ale is a traditionally brewed beer but has the alcohol content more akin to that of wine.  Along with the higher alcohols come many fruity flavors common in wine.  These fruity alcohols and yeast esters are balanced by a fresh bouquet of flowery, citrusy hops.  Brewed in celebration of 15 years, XV was brewed with 15 different malts and 15 different hops, and hopped every 15 minutes over a two hour boil.  The result is a complex ale packed with flavor and alcohol.  Great with rich desserts or alone as a digestif.

Served in an 8oz Brandy snifter glass only. Cheers to Fifteen Years.

Game Day

Decisions, Decisions...
Now that game day is around the corner, you need to focus on two key things:

1) Where to watch the big game. (Fratellos Fieldhouse anyone?)
2) Beer.

Which brings us to growlers at Fratellos Waterfront Restaurant.

First things first: growlers. You know them, you love them—they’re those refillable glass jugs you use to take home the sudsy brew of your choice. So say you’re doing a little pre–game practice run to decide which beer works best for the event. Pick up a six pack to go for your drinking pleasure-say, a  few Caber Tossing Scottish Ales, Winnebago Wheat, Fox Light, Blu and a Buzz'n Honey or two. Then time to tip it back and enjoy!
