They may be sides, but they aren't sidekicks.

BBQ is a meal and the right sides are just as important as the meat. At Watershed we keep it classic, almost. Collard Greens with bacon from our butcher shop, Red Slaw, Cornbread with Sorghum Butter, Watermelon with Hillbilly Tajin, Smoked Cheddar Mac, and a fresh, summery Pasta Salad. Everything you'd hope for, with a little more thought and a little more flavor behind it.

Meet the middle child!

Ridgeline Lager (5.3% ABV) is now on tap featuring a biscuit and malt profile, subtle fig notes, and a snappy finish. This red rye lager fits right in and holds the line between our crisp and easy-drinking Kitsuma Mexican Lager and our smooth and toasty No. 9 Mexican Dark Lager.

If you want to see the work that goes into these beers, swing by for a visit. The Butcher Babe brew team brews right in front of you, no glass, no barriers. Catch them today and tomorrow, May 29th, starting at 11am, and ask them all the questions you want!
