Despite the unfortunate connotations of its name, this Sunday’s eight-hour event sounds pretty fun.
From noon-8 p.m., Brat Haus will have pretzels, brats, a pig roast, and various pickled goodies.
Special brats will include:
- Umami Brat: A ramen-style brat made with pork, ginger, scallions, sesame and ramen noodles.
- Das Feure (The Fire): A pork habanero pepper brat with ghost peppers and Pepper Jack cheese.
- Sunshine Beer Brat: Made with New Belgium Sunshine Wheat beer, pork, bacon, orange zest and coriander.
- Jerk Chicken Brat: Made with chicken, pork, seasoning, rum and scotch bonnets.
- Minnesota’s Pride: Made with venison, wild rice, fernet and gold flakes.
- The Hossenphefer: A rabbit brat with sweet onions simmered in red wine.
Brat Haus also will make a massive 80-foot brat that patrons can purchase in portions ($1 per inch, 6 inches minimum) with 50% of the proceeds going to the ALS Association of Arizona.
Other activities will include Arizona’s largest pretzel, sausage-making demos, stein-holding contests, brat-eating contests, and beer garden games.
Tickets are $8 in advance or $10 Sunday at Brat Haus. You also can buy tickets online.
