Sit back, relax, have a drink, and enjoy the film at Flix Brewhouse in Carmel!

Talk about a chill night! Flix Brewhouse is America’s Only Cinema-Brewery, featuring a full dining menu and signature beers brewed in-house, creating a complete entertainment experience. Gary Beauregard, Director of Food Experience, Flix Brewhouse, shares how it all works!ABOUT FLIX BREWHOUSE:

– Flix Brewhouse currently has three locations and are opening a fourth location in Albuquerque, New Mexico later this year.

– Guests are invited in to enjoy a movie along with a delicious meal from their menu that consists of a wide variety of options spanning from salads to pizza to burgers.

– The first dish demoed on air was the Hawaiian Tuna Poke appetizer. It’s made with fresh diced sashimi (raw) tuna filet, lightly marinated in ginger-sesame-soy with chilies, sweet onions, and scallions. Served with fresh-fried pita triangles and diced avocado and tomato. This is a great menu option to go for if you’d like something delicious and fresh to snack while you watch your movie.

– No one is ever too old for a grilled cheese sandwich so for the second segment, Gary made Flix’s Grown Up Grilled Cheese. He’s added a unique twist to this simple sandwich by using Sharp Cheddar, Pepper Jack, and Crumbled Bleu cheeses with pepper jelly melted inside buttery, grilled to perfection Texas toast.

– The Flix lobby bar and cafe is open 7 days a week to the public, no ticket required, so you can come in and grab a bite to eat or have a locally brewed beer anytime!
