Warm up a bit this winter with a fusion of opposites at Moerlein Lager House’s 2026 Fire & Ice Dinner Series.
Back for another year, Fire & Ice offers an elevated dining experience through immersive themed dinners. Each dinner begins with a welcome cocktail or mocktail curated by mixologist Molly Wellmann and a charcuterie reception, followed by three courses crafted to fit the theme of the night, as well as cocktail, beer, wine or bourbon pairings. As guests dine, they will be able to enjoy fire performers and fire pits.
All the dinners will take place indoors, which will be decorated to create an immersive environment that blends warmth and winter magic. A special guest will host each dinner.
Themed dinners include:
