The Iron Press Anaheim - 32North Tap Takeover - Food Specials

One last reminder for you guys…

This Tuesday, September 29th, 2015 A.D., we are hosting our brewski buddies from 32 North for a tap take over of awesomeness!!
Check out the food specials we have planned...

DINNER SPECIAL:
SAY CHEESE!

32 North’s tart “Landfall” beer was definitely our muse for this over the top dish! What goes great with a deliciously tart berliner weisse?... How about a salty, cheesy, crispy, pork concoction of YUM?!?!?! We mound up our sizzling hot criss cut waffle fries and then top them off with our gorgonzola cream cheese sauce (Made from scratch, might we add!), slices of our hot polish sausage, diced up jalapenos and then finished with chopped green scallions.

DESSERT SPECIAL:
FALL IS COMING... WE PROMISE!
For this dessert special, we wanted to remind everyone that even though it’s hot as heck outside, the delicious flavors of Fall are upon us! It starts out with a graham cracker waffle fresh and toasty from the press. Then we top it with warm apple cinnamon compote, a big healthy scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream, a sprinkling of ginger-spiced walnut crumble and then drizzled (with a heavy hand) with our housemade salted caramel. Sweet, gooey and not to be missed!!

Good food! Great beer! Your favorite beer-tenders! Trust us… You definitely don’t want to miss this event. Plus, we’ll have DJ Lex bringing busting out the tunes that make you dance! Hope you can make it!

The Iron Press Anaheim - 32North Tap Takeover - Beer Lineup

It’s going down! Our beer buddies from the South are driving up and they’re bringing some darn tasty brewskis with them. (Let’s hope they bring that beach breeze with them too!) Fear not though craft drinkers, even if it’s another scorcher, you’ll be able to at least wet your whistle with an ice cold pint of artisanal small batch goodness. 32 North is no slouch when it comes to refreshing suds. From their lip puckering "LandFall", to their hop-head minded "Best Coast IPA", your thirst will definitely be quenched! Make sure to have your booties in our stools on Tuesday, Sept. 29th, 2015 A.D. from 5 P.M. to 10 P.M. at our Anaheim location!

You don’t want to miss this line-up of yum!
Check it out...

LANDFALL WITH RASPBERRIES
Berliner Weisse, 4.1% ABV
an almost uncharacteristic-like sourness for a Berliner Weisse. This tart and fruity beer is not only refreshing, but is quickly becoming their most popular beer. This time it comes with a fresh raspberry twist.

LANDFALL WITH PEACHES
Berliner Weisse, 4.1% ABV

peachy and lip puckering! An almost uncharacteristic-like sourness for a Berliner Weisse. Tart and fruity.

BLONDE ALE
Blonde, 5.1% ABV
simple and to the point, this refreshing brew is sure to quench your thirst. A perfect compliment to our dinner special, this blonde beauty has a touch of wheat and sweetness.

COMMON GOOD KOLSCH
German Kolsch, 5.2% ABV
light, refreshing, crisp and cold crashed to perfection. This easy drinker is perfect for Anaheim’s hot weather.

PENNANT PALE ALE
American Pale Ale, 5.5% ABV
pale ale that brings heaps of citrus and tangerine to the nose, and closes with a very well balanced, clean hop induced finish.

VAN PELT ON NITRO
Cream Ale, 5.7% ABV
a very light bodied beer that delivers with a creamy mouth feel.  The nitro lends itself to this subtle beer, giving it another level of complexity.


NAUTICAL MILE IPA
American IPA, 6.5%
it’s sweet floral and piney nose blends beautifully with a smooth, yet resinous, body thanks to a generous dose of Amarillo, Chinook, and Columbus hops that also usher in citrus flavors.

FLY BY NIGHT ON NITRO
Milk Stout, 6.9%  ABV
a coffee-forward, incredibly dark, and curiously sweet beer that will never fail as the perfect cap to any beer tasting foray. Notes of chocolate and carefully curated coffee beans makes this beer feel like desert in a cup.

BEST COAST IPA
American IPA, 7% ABV
this is 32 North’s brand spanking new IPA. Full bodied and bitter, with a tropical fruit finish from the hop profile. This West-Coast style beer is refreshing and hope forward.

SAISON DU NORD
Saison, 7.3% ABV
this delicious Summer ale is booming with ripe fruit and wheat flavors. It finishes with a delicate spiciness from the yeast.

WAIMEA IPA
American IPA, 7.7% ABV
malty goodness and delicious New Zealand hops were swirled in the boil and gave birth to a piney, sweet, fruity and biscuity baby. This would be a fine pour for any hop head!

So... throw on those tank tops and shorts (and, don’t forget your boogie shoes! DJ Lex will be in full effect!) and come beat the heat with us this Tuesday. This is a specialty line-up that you will normally only see out in their San Diego tasting room, and it will only leave you wanting more. Also, make sure to come hungry! The specialty dinner and dessert dishes that the kitchen crew is whipping up for the event are going to be AMAZEBALLS! Sure hope you can make it!

Smoochies,
The Iron Press Crew

Guten Tag party people!  
September is among us and that means Oktoberfest is almost here. We couldn’t think of a better way to kick off one of our favorite times of year than to have one great big German-beer drinkin’-booty shakin’-Bavarian blow out with our friends from Sierra Nevada... and you!

It’s time to bust out your best lederhosen and beer maid outfit and dress up with us (...seriously! We are totally dressing the theme! Because we’re crazy like that!) It’s all going down on Sept. 1st, 2015 A.D. from 5 P.M. to 10 P.M. at our Anaheim location! Sierra Nevada is known mostly for their hoppier beers, but we think this draft list will have you second guessing that notion.

Check out this line-up...

A delicious blend of banana and clove, unfiltered bavarian style hefe; dry, spicy finish.

Balanced amber lager, semi-sweet malty, caramel and toasted bread notes with a subtle hop.

PALE ALE
American Pale Ale, 5.6% ABV
One of the favorites of Sierra Nevada’s core beers. Smooth, balanced and wheaty with a bright American citrus hop finish.

OKTOBERFEST
Marzen, 6% ABV
A seasonal favorite! This robust beer showcases rich German malt, in a clean Marzan style Oktoberfest. It’s basically a flavor party in your mouth and the name says it all!

HOP HUNTER
American IPA, 6.2% ABV

This crisp IPA is like no other. It gets it’s intense hop aroma from farm fresh, steam distilled, hop oil. The dankness lingers and the hop oil is to thank for that!

FLIPSIDE IPA
Red IPA, 6.2% ABV

It’s as if a Red and an IPA had a delicious baby! This beer has a big malty backbone that acts as a support for it’s huge hop profile.

NARWHAL
Imperial Stout, 10.2% ABV
Huge roasty notes of malt, coffee & chocolate. The chocolate sweetness is balanced with some heat from the big ABV.


OVILA DUBBEL (Barrel Aged)
Belgian Dubbel, ?% ABV

Part of their specialty series - Ovila, a collaboration with the monks of Abbey New Clairvaux in Vina, CA. This delicious Belgian style dubbel was aged in bourbon barrels. It’s started out at 8.5% ABV, the aging process has heightened that ABV even more.

So, come get your Polka on with us! We even have ingredients sourced locally from Sierra Nevada being shipped down, so that we can include them in the yummy German faire that the kitchen is whipping up! We hope you’re as excited as we are to get down to the chicken dance… Dj Lex will be here to blair the tunes of Bohemia! Get your stein lifting hands ready! We hope you can make it!
