How do you spot a Party Dad?

The sunnies are on.
The BBQ is fired up.
The playlist is questionable—but the confidence is undeniable.

He’s first to crack a beer and still believes an inflatable flamingo counts as pool furniture.

Party Dad Hazy Pale Ale is juicy, hazy and bursting with tropical fruit and citrus. Smooth, refreshing and dangerously easy-drinking at 5% ABV.

Because becoming a dad doesn’t mean the party’s over. It just starts a little earlier. 😎🍺🦩

Come hungry. Leave happy.

It doesn’t shout the loudest on the menu, but our Montreal Smoked Meat Burger deserves your full attention.

We start with the finest cuts of brisket, house-cure them and smoke them low and slow until they’re ridiculously tender. Then we pile that smoky goodness onto a soft bun with melted cheese, Alabama white sauce and our house-made dill pickles.

Smoky. Creamy. Tangy. Cheesy. Properly good.

So forget the same old burger-and-patty routine. Come meet the quiet hero of the Bad Shepherd menu.

You’re going to want to try this one. 🤤 Pair it our American Pale Ale. 👌
