If you like wings then you have to try this Japanese style of cooking them. You get to decide between two sauce types: garlic soy or hot. Do not underestimate the spice level on the hot, they are truly hot. The garlic soy is a safe bet and it is very good. It is a must try while visiting.

This is not an activity that you can do with children. When you spend $5.00 you get to tour the brewery and leaner about the brewing process. There is a section of the tour that you get to sample four styles of the brand. After the tour I definitely recommend sitting in the Beer Hall and ordering a pretzel. The sauces that come with it are amazing!
