If you’re not already thirsty when you arrive at Perennial on Lockwood, the salt-crusted, perfectly browned and chewy pretzel monkey bread is a great way to prime your palate for sampling some of the brewery’s delicious house beers. A cluster of soft and fluffy pretzel balls is served in an adorably miniature cast-iron skillet with silky beer-cheese sauce and grainy, slightly fruity mustard for dipping. For the ideal bite, we recommend a one-two dunk into both condiments; the warm, creamy cheese pairs beautifully with the mustard’s sharp spiciness.
