Summer Trivia Contest

We're still putting the finishing touches on, but I wanted to give you triviaheads some advanced notice.

We're going to have a summer trivia contest running July and August where the team that amasses the most points (or victories, I told you we hadn't figured everything out yet) gets a cool neon from our collection.

The contest starts tonight and runs through the end of August, so if you like neons and trivia, check it out!

July 4th Schedule

Like last year, we'll be closed July 4th weekend for BBQing, family gatherings, and the usual deep cleaning/maintenance that we sneak in every chance we get.  We'll be CLOSED Saturday, July 4th and Sunday July 5th, reopening for breakfast on Monday, July 6th at 8:30am.

But, not wanting to miss out on a chance for a party, we're celebrating...

INDEPENDENCE DAY EVE 

(a.k.a. Friday July 3rd)

10am to Midnight 

Apple Pie Shots   3.99

Just like Mom used to make...

Jim Beam Shots   3.99

Just like Mom used to drink...

Red, White & BEER!   3.99

1/2 liters of Hoegaarden, America's favorite Belgian Witbier...

Vienna Beef Frank Basket  5.99

America's best hot dog in a basket with fries and slaw.  Add additional hot dogs to your order for $3 each and pretend you're Kobayashi at Coney Island.

OK, seriously, please don't go trying to break any hot dog eating records at Shultzy's.  First of all, we have a lot of hot dogs, but not enough for record attempts.  Secondly, it looks very unpleasant and will probably ruin your weekend and the day for those who have to watch you endure the ordeal.  That being said, a double hot dog basket for 8.99 and a cold Hoegaarden sounds like a pretty good way to kick off the weekend.

Summer Hours are here!

Monday-Wednesday: 8:30-midnight

Thursday-Friday: 8:30-2am

Saturday: 10:30-2am

Sunday: 10:30-midnight

(Breakfast on weekdays only during the summer)

Wondered what it was like to work in the kitchen at Shultzy's?

 Leslie Kelly (former Seattle P-I and Memphis Commercial Appeal restaurant reviewer) has been working with us this past week learning how to be a Shultzy's Brat Jockey. We've had a blast having her with us, and, as expected, her article on her Shultzy's experience is a fun read.

** No Trivia Competition Tonight ** (Sorry!)

Our trivia master is temporarily missing after the long weekend, so there will be no Tuesday night trivia this week.  We apologize for the inconvenience/disappointment.  If Jeremiah and I tried to fill in for him, all questions would involve beer and/or hockey.  OK, maybe that wouldn't be so bad, but we're still not having trivia night tonight.  Sorry.

Shultzy's will be closed Sunday (May 24) and Monday (May 25)

Shultzy's will be closed tomorrow (Sunday) and Monday of this Memorial Day Weekend.

We'll be open for business at 8:30am Tuesday morning for Breakfast Burritos, Caffe Vita Coffee, and my favorite, the Humpty Bob.

Enjoy your weekend off (we'll be cleanin', paintin', fixin', and maybe we'll have a little time for some relaxin'). :)

Dark Lager lovers get ready for Seattle Beer Week at Shultzy's

IT'S BACK (FOR A SHORT TIME)!

Dinkel Acker Dark Lager has been a perennial bestseller at Shultzy's and a favorite among fans of German Schwartzbiers.  Sadly, Dinkel Acker stopped distributing their draft beers in the USA, much to the disappointment of American dark beer fans.  We tried our best to horde all we could, even getting kegs shipped up here from as far away as Colorado to satisfy our thirsty patrons.  Sadly, no more exists to be purchased.

BUT... deep in Shultzy's strategic beer reserves, we have secreted away a handful of kegs of this nectar, and we're going to be tapping them this coming week in honor of the first annual Seattle Beer Week .  So, come on in, drink a beer, and shed a tear in honor of the last USA kegs of Dinkel Acker.

P.S.  Don't forget that Wednesday is the Shultzy's event for Seattle Beer Week and we'll have special beers and hopwurst (sausage made with beer hops as a flavoring).  Don't miss it!

Nice post on Shultzy's lunch in Seattle Weekly's Voracious

Shultzy's: Feels Like Lunch, SBW Pairing Event 5/13

Maggie Dutton, the author, captured lunch at Shultzy's perfectly:

"Walk in here at 12:45pm and every seat is full, 75% of the people have a beer in front of them, soccer is on the tele, and you can barely hear yourself think."

I couldn't have said it better myself. Today was especially fun; you should have heard the explosion from the lunch crowd when Barcelona scored in extra time to advance to the UEFA Champions final against Manchester United.  Wow!  The only bad part is we have to wait three weeks for the final match (May 27th at lunch time).  It will be on all six TVs, the sound will be up, and Hoegaarden will be on special that day -- see you there!
