We hope you’ve been following Jimmy Carbone on Twitter as he celebrates Liquid Lent, and we’re looking forward to several events we have planned in the next week featuring Monk’s brews!Coming up first is tomorrow’s $20 Tuesday Tasting (on March 18th), where we’ll be sampling chocolates courtesy of The Chocolate Life‘s Clay Gordon paired with four different Belgian style beers, including:
-Crooked Stave, Surette Sour
-Embrasse by de Dochter – a dark candied sugar Belgian
-Het Nest, Ten of Clubs – a Belgian Quadruppel ale
-Element, Interval Ale – an imperial Pilsner made with local grains source via Valley Malt (Massachusetts)
Then, next Monday (March 24th), it’s the return of our famous (infamous? oh, no! it’s Lent… we won’t be infamous this time around) Vegetarian Nonsense dinner. When better to celebrate with vegetarian dishes than during Liquid Lent. Five courses to include:
- Assorted cheese toasts with cheese from Saxelby Cheesemongers
- Carrots cooked in milk, over NY grits
- “Mad for Turnips” – turnips three ways: pickled, roasted, au gratin
- Wild mushroom “farro” risotto
- And for dessert: Elvis tea sandwich bread pudding with peanut butter and honey
Exact beer pairings TBA, but will be a selection of Belgian and Belgian-styles from select breweries such as Crooked Stave, Ommegang, Het Nest, Jolly Pumpkin and Scaldis. (This is a ticketed sit-down dinner, so please purchase tickets here.)
And then next Tuesday (March 25th), we’ll be hosting the first of two Belgian Beer 101 tasting events: Only $20 to sample Belgian (and Belgian-style) beers with B. United Importers.
And of course we have a full list of pay-as-you-go beer options to choose from all week long. Pair with food from our Craft Beer Kitchen! We hope to share Liquid Lent with you soon!
