Burgers & Craft Beer With Brass Works Brewing Sept. 29 at Good News Cafe

Good News Café’s next craft beer & burgers event Sept. 29 will feature the beers of Brass Works Brewing Company of Waterbury.

No bottles or cans this time, just gorgeous pints poured from casks to accompany Carole’s Zeeburgers, with members of the Brass Works team on hand to mingle and talk about their beers and the taproom and brewery on Thomaston Avenue.

After a tasting at the taproom with Brass Works’ owners, three beers were chosen that perfectly pair with the burgers: Brass Nail Session IPA, Abel Porter and this year's just-released Oktoberfest.

Those beers will accompany a burger line-up that includes the Juicy Lucy blue cheese-stuffed beef burger; The Diablo Manchego burger; a Zatar lamb & feta burger; the “Lean & Mean” seven-ounce Antelope burger; an Asian tuna and salmon burger; a veggie burger, and the black bean burrito.

The cost is $25 for a burger or burrito and a pint of Brass Works beer, with side dishes available a la carte and additional pints priced at $6.

No reservations are needed, though these burger-and-beer nights have been so popular that calling ahead (203-266-4663) to secure a table is a good idea. The restaurant is located at 694 Main Street South in Woodbury.
