To all Beer and Food Enthusiasts in RI and SE Mass!

     If you like food and beer as much as I do, you'll be interested to know that this Saturday night, the Westport Rivers Winery and Vineyard in Westport, Mass. will be hosting a Beer Pairing Dinner, sponsored by GreenGal Events and Catering and Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project


     "What's on the menu," you might ask? Well, autumn is the time of year to pick pumpkins and pears, to hunt rabbits while they're fattening up for the winter, and also when steer get turned into steak.  For the first course, a Roasted Pumpkin Bisque accompanied by Pretty Things’ flagship beer,Jack D'Or, an American take on the Belgian saison. Next up, Braised Rabbit Ravioli served with  Baby Tree, Pretty Thing's Belgian-inspired dark beer brewed with dried plums. Their Babayaga Stout is the perfect match for a Wolfe’s Neck Farm Ribeye with Stout jus. Top it all off with Poached Pears and Dark Chocolate Ganache served with Just Beer’s 1602 Colonial Porter. As with all GreenGal events, all the food is locally and organically grown/ sourced.
     I had some input on the menu design for this dinner, and that gave me the opportunity to taste these beers a couple of weeks ago in a menu brainstorming session , and MAN ALIVE! are they ridiculicious! Anyone who has doubts about beer pairings should make reservations and be astounded at the breadth, depth, and complexity of these pairings! And beer lovers should not wait! Get your reservations now!Space is limited!
Reservations are available by calling Sonya @ (508) 294-7087  $70 per person, including tax.
Remember, "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."--Benjamin Franklin

Love, Peace, and Bacon grease!
