Beer, Food and Tanks
Last Wednesday night I invited a couple of friends over for a little dinner party at my house, needless to say that The Bruery’s beer was center stage. We started the night out at our local Belgian beer bar with bottles of Chimay White, Foret, and Fantome. After we were primed and ready it was time to start cooking. We had somewhere between six and eight different beer and cheese pairings that I wish I could remember (that’s what alcohol does to you when you drink too much!). I do remember I wasn’t a fan of the extra aged gouda; it tasted like I was eating cardboard which I could have been doing after drinking all day! For dinner my friends and I grilled up three different types of chicken: one beer butt chicken cooked with Orchard White and two others using Stone’s grilling sauces (have to support our distributor!). We sauteed some asparagus with Trade Winds Tripel and grilled up some corn to compliment the chicken. This was the first time I have cooked with The Bruery’s beer and it won’t be the last! The beer butt chicken was the favorite dish of the night along with the Tripel and Levud’s. I never knew my friends had good taste in beer; I must be converting them over. It ended up being one of the most fun nights I’ve had in a long time and something I needed after that whole mash incident.
