Located in quaint, downtown New Carlisle a stone's throw from our B & B. Real German beer. If German brewing standards are your thing, you'll enjoy Stiegl. Our fav is Stiegl Radler- the perfect beer for a hot day. Outdoor seating. A great place to unwind after the game, or just because. Lunch served.
