Boneyard Bistro/Bruery Beer Dinner
Boneyard/Bruery Beer Dinner: October 13, 2011
12 courses, paired with thirteen rare Bruery Beers
Our approach when putting together a beer dinner at Boneyard is a little different than most. Where many pairings simply match beer and foods which will taste good together, we try to take it a step farther and really focus on the beers. Our goal is not simply to find beers that pair with certain foods, but to design food around a specific beer; to identify specific flavors in the beer, and then use food to highlight those flavors. The pairing is designed to showcase the beer, with the food providing a supporting role. This not only allows the beer to be shown in the best light possible, but hopefully exposes characters in the beer which are subtle or not present when the beer is consumed on its own. If you've been to one of our dinners in the past you already understand, for those of you who have not - come experience what beer and food pairing can be. $115 per person, seats are limited, please purchase tickets in advance.
Below are the beers, the flavor or flavors in each we've decide to focus on in italics, and the food to be paired with it.
