Asian Glow is back đžâš
We are excited to collaborate with our good friends @lostgenbrewing and @asianfestivalonmain on this special release, created to celebrate identity, community, and AAPI heritage â€ïž
This 5.5% ABV sour ale is brewed with dragon fruit, Alphonso mango, plum, and passion fruit, Asian Glow 2.0 is a bright, fruit-forward sour ale inspired by something many Asians know well. Asian Glow, also known as alcohol flush reaction, is a genetic variation that affects almost exclusively East Asian descendants. Yes, some of us turn red after a sip of beer đł Instead of hiding it or feeling ashamed of it, we are choosing to celebrate it with pride and joy.
This beer is a toast to our AAPI families, friends, and allies, and to the beauty of embracing what makes us who we are đđ»
Even better, @lostgenbrewing is donating 10% of proceeds from Asian Glow 2.0 to support Asian Festival on Main đ
4-packs are now available at High Side, and you can also find it on draft in the Beer & Karaoke Garden during AFM 2026 this Sunday 5/17 from 11am to 6pm.

Cold sesame noodles on a hot Wednesday just make sense.
Chilled noodles coated in a rich, nutty sesame sauce with garlic, vinegar, soy, cucumber, and just enough brightness to keep every bite feeling light, savory, and deeply satisfying. It is the kind of dish that cools you down without giving up any flavor. Simple, comforting, and exactly what a warm day calls for.

Weâll be closed on Sunday, April 5, so our staff can take time to celebrate Easter with their families and loved ones.
Weâll be back to regular hours after that and look forward to seeing you soon.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Some days call for one thing. Wednesdays call for the full spread.
Dan Dan Noodles for the heat, the richness, and that savory, nutty depth that keeps pulling you back in. Pork Belly Bao for something soft, rich, and packed with flavor in just a few bites. And the Braised Pork Belly Rice Bowl for pure comfort, with tender pork belly, braised egg, pickled daikon, and everything you want in a bowl.
This is the kind of Asian street food we love. Bold, satisfying, and built for sharing, or not sharing at all.

Happy Hour | TuesdayâThursday | 4â7 PM | Dine-in only
