Fall new release keg tapping of Dunkel Weizen with live music, schnitzel and a keg tapping parade at Hofbräuhaus Pittsburgh.
Hofbräuhaus Pittsburgh is tapping a new keg on Wednesday, November 4, and this one is built for the fall. The beer is Dunkel Weizen, a dark wheat beer that fits the season better than almost anything else on the tap. If you're not familiar, it's a Bavarian style that hits the middle ground between a hefeweizen and a dunkel—you get the wheatiness and carbonation of the former with the malty, toasted notes of the latter. It's a beer that tastes like autumn, and it's the center of the whole night.
There's more to it than just the pour. The evening kicks off with a keg tapping parade, and live music runs throughout the night, so it's a full session rather than just a quick drink. On the food side, they're featuring Schnitzel Paprikash, a pan-fried veal or pork cutlet served in a creamy paprika sauce that pairs well with the darker, malty profile of the Dunkel Weizen. It's a hearty, savory dish that makes sense when the weather starts to turn.

For context, Hofbräuhaus Pittsburgh is a German food, beer, and events venue in the SouthSide Works Cinema complex at 2705 S Water St, Pittsburgh, PA 15203. They serve authentic Bavarian fare like schnitzel and bratwurst alongside burgers and cream puffs, and they tap a fresh keg of authentic Bavarian beer the first week of every month. They also run a Stein Master Club for beer connoisseurs and a 'Kids Eat FREE' deal every Sunday, with one free kids meal for each adult entrée. The Dunkel Weizen tapping is the next in that monthly rotation, and it's the one that marks the shift into November.
