While the grills are firing up and your uncle is explaining how he “almost enlisted” for the 14th year in a row, we’re taking today to remember what Memorial Day is really about.

Today we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave everything in service to this country. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

So from all of us at Hessen Haus — Thank you.

Also… we are CLOSED today. To give our dedicated schnitzel slingers a day off.

We’ll be back at it tomorrow pouring liters, passing boots, and pretending patio beers count as hydration. Stay safe and enjoy the holiday, Des Moines!
