Dad’s Day! The day when Dad’s everywhere think, “sure wish my kid would buy me a big, bourbon stout and some dang stuffed french toast!” Don’t buy Dad a tie this year; bring him to Big Thorn for some tacos, french toast, beermosas, and the release of our Dad’s Bourbon Stout!
 
Dad’s Bourbon Stout

A big, malty homage to Dad’s everywhere. Aged on bourbon-soaked, freshly charred oak logs from our woods, this beer has a velvety mouthfeel and a round, toasted body. Notes of bourbon, chocolate, coffee, and roasted wood. Bottle-conditioned in our earth-bermed cellar for excellent aging capabilities.
 
We’ll be serving our already famous beermosas, as well as releasing bottles of Dad’s Bourbon Stout (limited amount available on draft). Look for menus coming soon on the event page. No reservations necessary, and extended hours will be (brunch served all day!):
