Bacon & Belgians, Sour Beer Weekend to Welcome June

20130505_104436This week we are celebrating (finally and we hope for good!) the return of nice weather, longer days, and some very amazing beers. Coming up tomorrow, we welcome back Bacon & Belgians with a meet-the-brewer event and prix fixe dinner featuring the beers of Dominique Friart, fourth generation owner of Brasserie St. Feuillien from Belgium.

Modeled on our “Bacon & Belgians” event, this sit-down dinner (tickets here) will pair Belgian beers from Artisanal Imports with various bacons, charcuterie and bacon-based entrees created by guest chef Annette Tomei.

The menu includes:

  • Bacon and Herb Popcorn for all!
  • 1st Course: BLT Crostini / St. Feuillien Saison
  • 2nd Course: Crispy Veal Sweetbread with St. Fueillien Bacon-Mushroom Ragout and Leeks “vinaigrette” / St. Feuillien La Blanche
  • 3rd Course: Bacon-wrapped Market Fish “En Pappilote” with Spring Vegetables / St. Feuillien Belgian Coast IPA (collaboration beer with Green Flash, brewed in Belgium)
  • 4th Course: Heritage Pork Summer-style Carbonnade on Zucchini Noodles / St. Feuillien Brune
  • Dessert: Dark Chocolate Pudding with Ginger and Maple Candied Bacon / St. Feuillien Grand Cru

Later this week, we’ll be celebrating Sour Beer Weekend. From June 5th through June 8th, we’ll have a special selection of lambics, bretts, gueuzes available for purchase. Plus, as this weekend is also the Big Apple BBQ, we are inspired to offer a tasting that combines sour beers with some of our favorite bacons! On Saturday at 4 p.m., you can join B. United’s Jon Lundbom with a very cool line-up of sour beers that we will pair with our favorite smoked pork treat! Beers will include:

  • Hanssens Cassis
  • Ichtegem’s Grand Cru
  • Alvinne Wild Undressed
  • Prof. Fritz Briem 1809 Berliner Weisse
  • Montegioco Quarta Runa
  • Del Ducato Beersel Mattina
