Independence Day at City Tap

This Independence Day, City Tap House is going straight ‘Merica with a two-day Backyard BeerBQ that will have you grubbing, drinking, playing and singing.

On July 3 and 4, City Tap is teaming up with Jack Daniels and Sam Adams to bring a taste of Americana to Fort Point. City Tap’s al fresco area will proudly display an oversized American flag on their façade while the stars and bars also will be featured prominently throughout the space in all their glory. Hot from the grill, there are specials including a Freedom Frank ($14), a grilled beef ‘dog topped with bacon, Colby jack cheese, jalapeños, relish and mustard served with hand-cut fries; Red White & BBQ ($25/35), a half- or full-rack of slow-cooked BBQ pork ribs with pineapple coleslaw and hand-cut fries; and the Stars & Stripes Sampler ($33), a combo plate of two All-American burger sliders, a half-rack of BBQ pork ribs and a Freedom Frank complete with corn on the cob and potato salad. To sip, there’s Liberty Lemonade ($15) – a frozen lemonade topped with Jack Daniels – and Sam Adams American Light ($7 per 10oz/$10 per 14oz), a newly released lager made with all American ingredients.

Give into your competitive side with giant Jenga, Connect 4, corn hole and Plinko (the latter that will score you Sam Adams’ t-shirts and koozies!) while DJ Liz Ladoux mixes top-40 and American-themed classics late-night on Wednesday. Make sure to guzzle those Sam Adams American Lights because with every pour, you’ll be entered to win prizes – a branded boombox or a sling chair – over the two days. From the Jack Daniels crew, swizzle those Liberty Lemonades because one whiskey-loving loyalist will take home a Yeti cooler filled with a JD grilling kit, their signature smoking chips and more.
