Bacon & Belgians, Sour Beer Weekend to Welcome June

This 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!
• 1^st Course: BLT Crostini / St. Feuillien Saison
• 2^nd Course: Crispy Veal Sweetbread with St. Fueillien Bacon-Mushroom Ragout and Leeks “vinaigrette” / St. Feuillien La Blanche
• 3^rd Course: Bacon-wrapped Market Fish “En Pappilote” with Spring Vegetables / St. Feuillien Belgian Coast IPA (collaboration beer with Green Flash, brewed in Belgium)
• 4^th 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:
