ShakesBeer Happy Hour

Thursday, Feb. 18, 5‐7 p.m.

Junkyard Brewing Company, 1416 First Ave. N., Moorhead

The ShakesBeer Fest Happy Hour features music from Shakespeare’s time and a specially‐concocted drink, as well. Men in Tights and Two Wenches will perform old‐timey music on crumhorns, recorders and tubas. The drink is called Wild Bill’s Braggot. Based off the old drink braggot, that has references dating back to the 12th century, the beverage is a blend of spices and herbs with mead and beer. Wild Bill’s Braggot was made in collaboration with Prairie Rose Meadery using their wildflower honey. The beer is a Belgian strong ale which the honey was added to and as was the wild yeast Brettanomyces, which produced a secondary fermentation. The beer has been fermenting for months in preparation for ShakesBeer Happy Hour.
