Schwarzbier and sauerkraut fans will soon have a spot to raise their steins and bellow "prost!" in downtown Boise. Prost German Pubs, which owns four German-themed concepts in Seattle and two in Portland, Ore., plans to open a seventh location, Prost Boise, on Eighth Street adjacent to Red Feather Lounge. Part-owners Missy and T.J. Sayles recently relocated to the Treasure Valley to run the German pub, which has a projected opening date of March 1, 2015.

"I worked for the owner of Prost for six years in Seattle before I moved to California with my husband," said Missy. "My husband has done several of the remodels, as well as one of the original build-outs in Portland. We just had a baby and we were wanting to move to a new place where there were more recreational opportunities."

Prost Boise will only serve imported German beers, including iconic brands like Bitburger, Hofbrau and Paulaner, along with rotating rare and seasonal selections.

"We'll have some wheat beers, lagers, ales, pilsnersall classic styles," said Missy. "Obviously we don't do any IPAs or anything like that; they'll all be German handles."

Prost plans to serve its German beers in the traditional glassware.

"We have the proper glassware for the actual drink, so for instance, if you order a Kostritzer lagerwhich is like a Schwarzbier, one of the dark onesit will come in the proper Kostritzer glass. But you can get either a 0.3-liter, a 0.5-liter (which will be somewhat comparable to an American pint) or you can get 1 liter."

In addition to 11 or 12 tap handles pouring imported German beer, Prost Boise will offer an array of German bar food. Since the space has a small kitchen with no hood, Missy and T.J. also plan to utilize the pub's Eighth Street-facing patio to grill up sausages.

"We'll have bratwurst, bratwurst sandwiches, liverwurst pate, a Brotzeittellerwhich is an assortment of meats and cheeses with rye breadwe'll have beet salads, potato salad," said Missy. "It's pretty standard German fare. ... We're wanting to step it up a little bit, too, with making some specials once a week with local produce that has a German flair."

T.J. will be doing the build-out on the space, which will include wooden flourishes and shared community tables.

"It's dark wood, warm and cozy and just feels like an awesome neighborhood bar," said Missy.
