German beers are an art. And the folks at Midtown’s 7 Monks Taproom on Michigan Street have a special night devoted to this delicious craft of brewing these unique beers.
For starters, it is summer, which makes many of the six different styles on tap at German Beer Night that much more inviting, since many of these beers taste (in my opinion) best on a hot summer night.
Jumping on tap at 7 Monks Taproom this Thursday will be German lagers, Weiss bier, and Kolsch served alongside a special night of German menu items.
The published tap list includes: Schneider Aventinus, Sunner Kolsch, Ayinger Brau Weiss, Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock, Weihenstephan Original Lager, and Kulmbacher Pils.

7 Monks is also offering on this night a German pretzel knot with mashed potatoes, hops mustard, and mettwurst—a raw pork cured and smoked sausage.
If you feel like noshing with friends over a Deutschland beer, then order the special sausage board, which Thursday includes a variety of authentic German sausages from Kerns with pickled vegetables and nutrient-rich sauerkraut.
You have a lot of extra sun during the summer, so why not squeeze in a stop at 7 Monks Taproom to enjoy this special night of beers. It is a hellavah lot easier than grabbing a flight to Germany or a drive Frankenmuth to replicate this taste experience.
