beer NOLA

 
The Abita Select Four Grain Dinner that I just posted about looks great, but I think this other Beer Dinner looks EVEN better. Dan Stein (Beer Geek and owner of Stein’s Deli), in association with Derek Lintern of Crescent City Homebrewers, Aaron Burgu (owner and chef of Patois), Kelly Picket and the staff of Stein’s Deli have created a dinner pairing some of the best beers you can buy in New Orleans with some of the best food you can eat in New Orleans.

The Dinner will take place on April 8th at Patois and will mark the 75th Anniversary of the End of Prohibition. The coolest thing about this dinner, is that not only will it be your standard beer and food pairing, but it will be incredibly educational AND the food will be cooked in beer, and made with beer ingredients. Things like hops, malt and unhopped wort will make their way into the recipe! Adventurous indeed. Check out the menu and pairings for the $90 (all-inclusive) Dinner after the jump…
