Cheese Curds are a First Draft favorite for a reason—golden, craveable, and even better with ranch and marinara on the side. Pair Cheese Curds with Three Floyds Zombie Dust for a combo guests keep coming back for. 🧀🍺

Macdaddy *** has earned its spot as a First Draft favorite 🍔 Two all beef patties stacked with house-made 1000 island, American cheese, lettuce, pickles, and onions on a toasted brioche bun with sesame seeds make every bite easy to crave. Even better with Bells Two Hearted 🍺

Smoked Pastrami Reuben is one of the favorites at First Draft for good reason 🤩 A half pound of super tender, slow cooked, beef brisket pastrami stacked on marble rye with Swiss, sauerkraut, and house thousand island makes every bite worth coming back for. Even better, it pairs with Pipeworks Ninja Vs. Unicorn 🍺
