Every Wednesday we’re teaming up with our neighbors down the hall at ORIGIN Breads for a Pizza Night! ORIGIN makes the pies, and we provide the dining area in our tasting room!
You can order ahead OR day of and enjoy their delicious pizzas with a nice GJ beverage at your side.
If you pre-order, when you arrive to Giant Jones, please tell us your order number; we will then let ORIGIN know that you’re ready for them to fire up your pizza!
About the pizzas: they’re naturally-leavened sourdough pizzas made with the same local ingredients and time-honored processes that ORIGIN Breads applies to their breads and pastries. Each week they’ll have the same core pizzas available, and a different specialty pizza that changes week to week! You are also able to purchase their cookies & brownies to have after your pizza.
It’s our favorite night of the week, so come check it out!
Now that our Wednesday Pizza Nights are back, we’re very excited for summer! So to kick off the first of many delicious summer pizza nights, we’re having a party. Join us & our friends at ORIGIN Breads as we celebrate the return of SUMMER pizza nights!
ORIGIN Breads will be making the pizzas, including a weekly seasonal pizza with the freshest ingredients. A seasonal salad will also be available as well as their tasty baked goods. And we will still be celebrating our 8th Anniversary release beer, a Giant Jones Malt Liquor!
Doors open at 4pm; pizzas start at 5pm. And weather permitting, we’ll have limited outdoor seating in our beer garden!
From Nano to Nature: Heat Flow & the Future of Food
From the strange behavior of heat and light at tiny scales to the food on our plates, science reveals how small processes shape the world around us. Discover how heat can travel in unexpected ways when objects get extremely small, and how local foods connect chemistry, nutrition, and sustainability to support both human and planetary health.
Heat, light, and the limits of shadow puppetry
Dakotah Thompson (Assistant professor, University of Wisonsin-Madison)
Heat is like water, it flows. Thermodynamics says that heat flows from hot to cold. With a skinny pipe, the flow becomes a trickle. But what is the pipe in this analogy? The pipe is what carries the heat. Sometimes, heat is carried by light. We call this thermal radiation. If we picture light as a ray that travels in straight lines, our pipe is like the bundle of rays carving a path between the objects exchanging heat. Shrink the objects, shrink the heat flow between them. BUT. Light is not a ray, it’s a wave. When the objects exchanging heat get really really small, weird things can happen…
The science of local foods for planetary health
Brad Bolling (Professor, University of Wisonsin-Madison)
Food impacts human, animal, and environmental health. We will take a tour of the interesting chemistry, nutrition, and health of local foods in our region. We will learn how a sustainable and equitable food system is an important dimension of planetary health.
