More than a Beer and a Shot

AventinusThis week, we’re focusing on a unique group of brewers who are also making distilled spirits from their beers, and you can join us tomorrow (Wednesday, March 23rd) for “More than a Beer and a Shot” where you’ll sample five different beer-spirit pairings curated by George Flickinger of B. United Imports.  Expected pairings for the evening:

  • Aventinus spirit and Aventinus beer – Edelster aged in whiskey barrels
  • Schlenkerla spirit and beer (rauchbier)
  • Uerige (alt bier) spirit and beer
  • Reissdorf Kolsch spirit and beer
  • Hitachino spirit and beer – distilled Hitachino White ale aged in white oak barrels

Be sure to get your ticket ($35) here.

And if you prefer beer with a pork chaser, be sure to drop by on Thursday (March 24th) for our “Pig and Belgians Last Supper,” a five-beer pairing dinner featuring a whole roast pig! (Tickets are available here.) Artisanal Imports and co-host Alex Forbes will curate the beers (subject to last minute change):

  • Trappe Witte
  • St. Feuillien
  • Wals Belo Sao Francisco
  • B.O.M. Full Moon
  • Cuvee des Jacobins Rouge or Cuvee des Jacobins Kriek

And speaking of the whole hog, we’ll have a Lechon Lunch option this Sunday (March 27th) for Easter.

It’s been a time of change with all these great food and beverage options, and as we approach the one-year mark of last year’s East Village explosion, we want to thank everyone for dropping by and offering your support. Cheers to Spring!
