Marcus^® Hotels & Resorts’ three Milwaukee properties, The Pfister^® Hotel, InterContinental^® Milwaukee, and Hilton Milwaukee City Center, today announced it will be serving and selling bottles of an exclusive Single Barrel Jack Daniel’s Whiskey at select food and beverage outlets during the Harley-Davidson 110^th Anniversary celebrations.

In June 2013, Ed Carrella, general manager of Mason Street Grill, traveled to the Jack Daniel’s Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, on behalf of Milwaukee’s Marcus Hotels, to sample and hand-select a barrel of whiskey to be served during the anniversary. While sampling the single barrel whiskey—a premium class of whiskey in which each bottle comes from an individual aged barrel—he was looking for an overall well-balanced flavor.

“We do not want the whiskey to overpower the guest’s palate,” explained Carrella. “But we also don’t want the whiskey to get lost in a drink. Bold, yet smooth is really what we were looking for—and we found it with the barrel we selected.”

The chosen barrel was bottled and delivered last month and will be served at several Marcus Hotels outlets.  Bottles are also available for purchase at any of the three Milwaukee hotels and dining outlets for $110 for the first bottle and $75 for a second bottle. Alternatively, at any of the hotels’ outlets, including Mason Street Grill, Lobby Lounge, Blu Bar & Lounge, Kil@wat, CLEAR Bar & Lounge, zenden, Miller Time Pub & Grill, and Monarch Lounge, guests can purchase commemorative bottles of the select Jack Daniel’s Whiskey for $150 to be kept behind the bar, so they can request a drink made with their own private reserve whenever they visit.

Each of the three hotels are planning to host complimentary tastings of the exclusive Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Whiskey. Jack Daniel’s girls will pass samples at Miller Time Pub & Grill on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2013 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m., CLEAR Bar & Lounge on Friday, Aug. 30, 2013 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m., and Mason Street Grill on Thursday, Sept. 12, 2013 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Miller Time Pub & Grill to Introduce New Brand with Grand Reopening Event

New menu and renovated space create a neighborhood restaurant feel,

features food and beer pairings

Milwaukee, Wis., May 13, 2013 – Downtown Milwaukee’s Miller Time Pub & Grill, which is owned and managed by Marcus^® Hotels & Resorts, has announced a grand reopening event on Thursday, May 16, 2013, from 5:30 – 10:00 p.m., to introduce its new brand to the public.

The free block party event will take place on a closed-off section of 5^th Avenue between Michigan and Wisconsin Avenues, and will offer guests live music throughout the evening, and a taste of the new menu with complimentary food and beer samples from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.

Event-goers can also enjoy a free build-your-own-burger bar that will allow them to customize their burger, name it, and submit it to Miller Time Pub & Grill for a chance to see it featured on the restaurant’s menu as the ‘Grand Reopening Burger.’ Guests also will have the opportunity to sample and vote for the restaurant’s new signature house brew. All guests will be entered into a raffle to win gift cards, promotional items and more.

The party will continue from 8:30 – 10:00 p.m., with a special performance by ‘Uprising.’ Miller Time Pub & Grill will be offering dollar taps of Miller products and guests can order from the restaurant’s new menu.

New Brand: Neighborhood Restaurant Featuring Perfect Pairings

Miller Time Pub & Grill is all about the perfect pairing of beer and food. The comfortable, new neighborhood restaurant features a full menu with craft burgers, salads, entrees, desserts and an extensive draft beer selection. The restaurant also will feature certified cicerones and servers who are trained and tested on their beer knowledge and will help patrons find perfect beer pairings for every menu selection.

The restaurant was recently renovated and features iconic memorabilia, photos and vintage ads that reflect the restaurant’s relationship with MillerCoors. The original 30-foot bar will continue to serve as a focal point in the space. A comfortable loft area with leather furniture offers a more casual, comfortable space, while the main dining room features new booths and tables. A retail area where guests can purchase Miller memorabilia, as well as Miller Time Pub & Grill merchandise, also was incorporated.

“While guests will enjoy a great menu, updated layout, and new furnishings, we think they’ll also appreciate our continued focus on beer and the storied history of MillerCoors,” explained Chris Anderson, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Brand Development for Marcus Hotels & Resorts. “And Miller Time Pub & Grill’s unique brand is a great addition to the Milwaukee market.  It is all about pairing the perfect bite with the perfect brew.”

Originally opened in April 2001, the former Miller Time Pub was developed in association with MillerCoors (Miller Brewing Co.) and was the first Miller-themed bar and restaurant to be built outside of an airport.

Miller Time Pub & Grill will soon expand to other locations in Wisconsin and beyond. In fall 2013, the restaurant will open a location at The Cornhusker, A Marriott Hotel in Lincoln, Neb. Plans for additional locations are in the works.

Miller Time Pub & Grill is located in downtown Milwaukee at 509 West Wisconsin Avenue,
on the corner of 5th and Wisconsin Ave. Visit the restaurant’s new website, www.millertimepubandgrill.com, follow it on Facebook (facebook.com/MillerTimePub) or on Twitter (@miller_time_pub).
