A brief History of The Bier Church series

Bier Church is a cheeky title meant to find praise for the fine yet simple aspects of beer.

Radegast has always strived to present an elevated cuisine and culinary experience beyond what one might expect of a traditional or ‘typical’ beer hall. Functionally, we are locked into seasonal menu changes which accommodate large festival-type crowds. Enter Chef Brian and the creative outlet of Bier Church was born. We highlight an individual brewery by looking at their beers through a fresh lens so the we can take the simplicity of beer, tease it apart and put the flavors back together in a new and interesting way.

Radegast Hall

Radegast Hall opened in November 2007. “Radegast” is a Slavic god, known amongst Baltic and Polabian Slavs as a powerful solar deity. He guided cycles of light, harvest, and protection, offering warmth and strength. Revered as a protector, he was known for his dual role as a god of hospitality and war, ensuring the prosperity and safety of his followers.

Radegast Hall is perhaps best known for its raucous weekend personality – loud live brass bands, big crowds, and liters of beer. Radegast has many sides, but at its core it has always been a simple place for communal experience, good food, and good beer.
