Wren House's Ahwatukee beer hall is open

Zoom in: All of the Wren House classics are on tap, in addition to some authentic German brews, including Schneider Weisse Helle Weisse and Hofbräu Dunkel.

What to watch: The cozy neighborhood bar plans to start serving food in the next week or so.

• Their menu — designed by James Beard-nominated chef Derek Christensen of Bacanora — will include obatzda (a delicious Bavarian cheese spread), onion rings made with roasted apple schmaltz and a brat burger, The Arizona Republic reports.
• I will be back ASAP to review the food — in the name of journalism, of course.
