Tuesdays — Let the Dice Pick Your $5 Beer
Choosing from a tap list can take a while. Der Nachbar Bottleshop & Taps has a Tuesday tradition that leaves at least part of the decision to chance.
Every Tuesday, Tuesday Toss gives you a shot at a $5 draft determined by a roll of the dice. Whatever tap numbers you roll become your options, and you can choose a $5 pour from either one. Maybe the dice land on something you already know you like; maybe they send you toward a beer you never would have ordered on your own.
Since Der Nachbar’s taps rotate, the possibilities can change from week to week, adding another unpredictable element to the whole thing.
You can check the current draft list here before you go—or skip the research entirely and let the dice do their job.
