BRU Craft & Wurst is Celebrating Their 10th Anniversary With a Block Party With Live Music and Games
Yup, believe it or not it’s been 10 years since BRU Craft & Wurst opened its doors. Now Craft Concepts Group and Owner Teddy Sourias look tocelebrate a decade of business with a block party on Sunday, April 2nd from 11:00am to 8:00pm.
The all-day festival and party will take place both inside BRU at 1318 Chestnut Street as well as outdoors on Juniper and Chestnut, which will be closed for the day to traffic to make way for the festivities until 8:00pm. BRU’s signature German menu will be served all day and in full inside, and select items will also be available outside – including some of the original signature dishes that made BRU famous back in 2013. Menu items will include Bratwurst, Spicy Fennel with Sweet Mustard, Knackwurst with Kraut, Chicken Apple, Jagerschnitzel, Currywurst, Potato & Apple Pancakes, Bru Fries, Bavarian Pretzel, Mixed Wurst Plate and more.
Outside, Polkadelphia will have crowds dancing on Juniper Street, along with the dancers from GTV Almrausch. Contests will include Bobbing for Brats, Cornhole and Stein Hoisting. BRU will tap a number of special and rarer kegs inside and out – plus feature more of BRU’s decade’s favorites outside on Juniper St on the draft trailer. Food and drink are pay-as-you-go. There is no charge to attend the festival.

FROM THE KITCHEN
BRU’s German signature dishes – some from the early days of BRU and some current favorites – will include the following for Sunday:
Wurst Sandwiches on toasted roll served with fries:
* Bratwurst with Bavarian Mustard and Beer Kraut (pork)
* Spicy Fennel with Sweet Mustard, Caramelized Onion & Arugula (pork)
* Knackwurst with Kraut & Spicy Mustard (blend)
* Chicken Apple with Sweet Mustard, Pickled Red Onion & Arugula (chicken)
For the event, BRU will be sourcing knackwurst from Rieker’s Prime Meats – as they did in the early days of 2013. This is a traditional southern German sausage, whose name comes from the sound it makes when you bite into it. Knackwurst has a mild flavor with a hint of garlic, with a smooth blend of beef, pork and veal. This special Knackwurst is the perfect sausage for use as a “currywurst.”
Additional menu items will include:
* Jagerschnitzel – Breaded veal cutlet served w/ warm potato salad & sweet, sour red cabbage and onion gravy
* Currywurst – Sliced & fried Knackwurst w/ fries and curry ketchup, very traditional German street food
* Potato & Apple Pancakes – blend of shredded apple and mashed Idaho potato, seared and served with horseradish sour cream
* Bru Fries – Crispy fries topped w/ shredded muenster cheese and smothered in bacon and sausage gravy
* Bavarian Pretzel – Bavarian soft pretzel served warm and salted with a side of beer cheese sauce
* Mixed Wurst Plate – One of each of our four wursts served with warm potato salad, kraut, and onion gravy
