DRINK FALL 2016

The Brewhaus

T

he Brewhaus on Chattanooga’s North Shore is approaching their fifth anniversary and will be celebrating it alongside their 5th Annual Oktoberfest Party.

For those unfortunate few who don’t know of Brewhaus, it’s the only pub of its kind in Chattanooga; in fact, it is the only pub in town where you will find authentic German food. We’re talking some seriously delicious sauerkraut here, people. Some visitors have gone so far as to say that the quality of the menu items at Brewhaus is better than what you would find in Germany itself.

Of course, you’ll only know for sure once you experience it yourself, and with the specials Brewhaus offers, there isn’t a wrong time to try it out. Specials include $3 half liters on Mondays, Live Team Trivia on Tuesdays, Wednesday beer tastings with live music from Dan Pinson and Running for Brews, German Wine Nights on Thursdays (starting in October), and Sunday Brunch 18 • THE PULSE • SEPTEMBER 22, 2016 • FALL DRINK GUIDE • CHATTANOOGAPULSE.COM

with $3 Mimosas and 15 percent off drafts, cocktails, cans and bottles.

They have a special every day of the week which changes every few months, so you never know what kind of deal you’ll get when visiting the restaurant. Which is all the more reason to visit frequently.

Perfectly positioned on the North Shore, Brewhaus caters to a large patronage of both local and tourist visitors. Tourists are blown away, while locals know just where to go for their German eats.

Along with amazing food, Brewhaus also has an incredible selection of American and German draft beers. Offering twelve beers on tap and over 30 bottle selections.

Two of their most popular German beers are Schneidier–Weisse and Riessdorf–Kolsch. Go out on a limb and try one! We’re sure the bartender could suggest one hell of a pairing for you to enjoy.

With the laid back atmosphere Brewhaus sports, it’s the perfect setting for Chattanoogans to grab a cold one and just kick back.

Raw Bar & Grill L

ocated downtown on Market Street, you’ll find Raw Bar and Grill. The only dance club in the city that has video mapped 3D walls, Raw surrounds it’s partiers with more music and color than they can imagine. Two DJ’s that mix the latest dance tunes and best mix of music in Chattanooga, keeping the entire place on its feet all night long. For those who would like to take a seat in style, there is a VIP area that overlooks the dance floor and features direct bar access.

You’ll want that direct bar access because when it comes to drink specials, they have one for practi-

cally every day of the week so you won’t be alone in asking the bartender for a drink or two…or five.

For those of you working in the service industry, stop by in your work uniform or bring in a pay stub to get $2 domestic longnecks, $3 well liquor, $5 Fireball and 10 percent off menu items. On Friday and Saturdays, they also have “Power Hour” from 10 to 11 p.m. where domestic longnecks are only $1.50.

After you’ve gathered some liquid courage, head up to the second floor where the dance floor is open Thursday nights (with no cover charge) as well as Friday and Satur-

day nights. Beyond the DJ’s, Raw features live music. The best local and regional bands play live music every weekend and occasionally during the week. Check out the calendar on their website to see who is playing when and what time so you can plan your next night out.

Besides the entertainment, Raw has a full menu of great foods and drink specials as well. From pizza

and calzones to hoagies, wings, and many more appetizers, it’s safe to say you won’t be nibbling on peanuts to sober up, but rather enjoying a beautiful pizza pie.

If you are looking for a place in Chattanooga to dance all night long, throw back some fantastic drinks, and finish it off with some killer food before you climb in that Uber, check out Raw.

Chattanooga's Top Cocktails We went our searching around town to find some of the best cocktails the city's finest drinking establishments have to offer. Our tireless research (in the name of editorial accuracy, of course) has resulted in a fine collection of some of the best libations you can try.

"Up In Smoke" Created by Puckett's Grocery & Restaurant's Team Chattanooga, the "Up In Smoke" cocktail features Corsair Triple Smoke Whiskey, sweet vermouth, simple syrup, a dash of bitters and a diced pear garnish.

Perfect for any meal or all by itself.

"Ms. Beauregarde" "Signorina Masala" "Autumn Delight" Leave it up to the Flying Squirrel mixologists to feature two cocktails: "Ms. Beauregarde" (with cucumber infused gin, creme de violette, lemon juice, lavender syrup) and the "Traveling Mule" (with vodka and Pure Sodaworks spicy habanero ginger beer).

24 • THE PULSE • SEPTEMBER 22, 2016 • FALL DRINK GUIDE • CHATTANOOGAPULSE.COM

Created by the folks at Chattanooga Whiskey, this cool concoction combines Chattanooga Whiskey 1816 Single Barrel, Positiffitea Chillin' Chai Tea Infused Cocchi Vermouth di Torinom, Demerara simple syrup, fresh cranberry juice, egg white and cinnamon.

Totto, Frazier Avenue's premier Sushi restaurant, is especially fond of the "Autumn Delight" this time of year, which features 12 year old Japanese single malt whisky, apple cider, a dash of ground cinnamon, topped with an apple slice and a cinnamon stick.

"Bourbon & Mint Lemonade"

"Rum Runner"

"Aromatherapy"

Everyone knows that Big River Grille & Brewery is home for great beer. But it's also home for the "Bourbon & Mint Lemonade" featuring Maker's Mark Bourbon, mint leaves, and fresh lemonade for a minty tart new taste.

It always feels like Summer at Full Moon Burger & Bar on the North Shore with a classic "Island Rum Runner" featuring Blue Chair Banana Rum, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, orange juice, coconut and grenadine.

The latest cocktail from Alleia, it includes Gala Apple infused Titos Vodka, cranberry juice, shaken and strained in a coupe glass, topped with prosecco and garnished with an orange peel and a zest of cinnamon.

"Stark Raving"

"Cider Punch"

"TN Margarita"

The award-winning mixologists at Easy Bistro & Bar love the "Stark Raving" cocktail, featuring Trianon Tequila Blanco, fesh lime, grenadine, a dash of Pernod Absinthe, and their special apricot salt as a tasty finish.

For a touch of class, head over to Matilda Midnight at The Dwell Hotel for a classic cider punch featuring Afrohead Rum, lemon juice, Tuaca, sparkling cider and Cardamom bitters. Not much into rum? Brandy also works just fine.

Downtown's Bluewater Grille also has a great bar...and their "Tennessee Margarita" cocktail features Chattanooga Whiskey, Cointreau, and their Housemade Margarita Mix, combined together for a refreshing taste.

AmeriPride: The Customer-Oriented Brand I

n the drive to increase profit margins, some uniform companies are mass-producing standard restaurant aprons or corporate logo apparel as cheaply as possible.

AmeriPride, a leading supplier of uniforms and linens in the United States, chose to head in the opposite direction.

“By partnering with world-class clothing manufacturers such as Red Kap, Chef Works and Dickies, we decided to focus on being a leading customer service company rather than manufacturing,” Director of Marketing Michael Shearer

says.

With 150,000 customers served weekly and nearly 6,000 employees, AmeriPride focuses on the Food & Beverage, Industrial, Automotive, Healthcare and Food Processing markets. Founded in 1889 by the Steiner family and headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, AmeriPride operates 130 plants and service centers throughout the United States and Canada. The company remains family-owned and is continuously investing in its facilities to ensure they have the most up-todate technology and equipment.

“We’ve done more than anybody in improving the sustainability of our plant equipment and fleet, and we were recently recognized as the largest Textile Rental Services Association of America (TRSA)-certified ‘Clean Green’ company in our industry,” Shearer says.

Along with being conscious of its environmental impact, AmeriPride’s primary goal is to make it easy for customers to do business with the company. Enter the Complete Customer Care (C3) service program and online Customer Portal. With C3, every Customer Ser-

vice Manager (CSM) uses a tablet that connects with AmeriPride’s proprietary Windows-based C3 mobile application. Employees are able to remotely pull up a customer’s history and read any new messages from the client sent to them via the Customer Portal.

“It’s about managing those accounts and making sure our CSMs have their customer information available at their fingertips at any time,” Shearer says.

Southern Burger Co. S

tarting out as a local Chattanooga food truck in 2011, Southern Burger Co. has transformed into a food service powerhouse. With its restaurant location stationed in Ooltewah, just minutes from downtown Chattanooga, Southern Burger Co. has become a local staple. The company strives to consistently provide its patrons with delicious food, top class service, and a warm inviting environment for family and friends alike.

Taking much pride in the quality of their food, Southern Burger Co. utilizes only the freshest ingredients. They grind their own beef,

cut their own fries, and make all of their sauces in house. What they do not make in house, they use locally sourced goods such as buns from local Nieldov’s Breadworks.

Outside of their phenomenal food, environment, and service, Southern Burger Co. hosts weekly events such as College Night on Wednesday and Thursday Pint Night; giving it that social aspect that is often craved by restaurant patrons. They do a fantastic job of getting people in the door, and once inside they are provided with a great experience.

The food choices are unmatched.

They have all of the fixins’ one

could want for a burger or chicken sandwich. They even offer lean meat bison, and turkey choices for the health minded, and an eggplant option for the vegan munchers; but the all-star selections lie in the traditional burger choices.

The stand-out burgers are the Chorizo, Raleigh, and Big & Spicy Burgers. The stand out chicken sandwiches are the Nashville Hot Chicken and the Chicken Philly.

It is often hard to pick, so several visits are the only way to truly experience this outside of the box establishment. With so many cookie cutter restaurants flooding the eatery market, it is often hard to find places that break the mold.

Southern Burger Co. has no idea what a mold even is, so it is a safe location for foodies that are looking for great food, and a fresh take on eating out.

Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom

I

t’s hard to believe October is right around the corner, but we’re beginning to get our first feels of fall in the mornings as well as starting to see it around town in specialty items. But nothing makes us more excited about fall than football season and the array of beers that come with Oktoberfest.

“We’re running a football special all day Saturdays and Sundays, as well as Mondays and Thursdays the hour before the game,” says Old Chicago Pizza and Taproom general manager Lauren Gholz. Red Zone Combos let you choose a combo of items from Sicilian pepperoni rolls, buffalo chicken rolls, boneless or traditional wings, or a one-topping pub pizza, either two for $9 or three for $12. Also be sure to check out their Tailgate Grill Menu featuring bacon burgers, steak sandwiches, and more, each pairing perfectly with a cold brew.

Speaking of brews, during this football special, pints and talls of Blue Moon, Miller Lite, and Leinenkuegul will vary from $3.50, $4.50

and $5.50. Football season ends in February and so will this special, so we suggest gathering up your NFL or college football friends and heading over to Old Chicago while the offer still lasts.

The delicious food, sweet beer deals, and the fact that the place is filled with flat screen televisions... where else would you go to watch the game? And on the days of the week that there is no football, fear not, because Old Chicago always has you covered with beer and sustenance.

Each table has a book featuring how and what to pair with certain beers, or you can ask Russell, their resident beer expert. Ask him which beer you should drink to kick off your personal bout of the World Beer Tour.

Drink different beers to get sweet shirts, coozies, glassware, and more.

Drink all 110 beers and have the satisfaction of accomplishing a goal some only dream of and get your name highlighted on the Wall of Foam.
