There’s no duo quite like beer and soft pretzels, and the ones from Krause’s are as authentic as they come. Served with grainy mustard and beer cheese, these tasty morsels promise love at first bite.

Speaking of pretzels, the Pretzel Platter is such a fun meal the entire table can share. The “pretzel” on the right isn’t actually a pretzel at all - it’s bratwurst in the shape of one! There are two other family platters, as well, and both feature an assortment of delicious German fare.
