beer NOLA

The only thing better than Beer, is a Beer Dinner. You get the best of both worlds, delicious beer with food paired around the beer to complement it (or is it the other way around?).

Abita continues their popular Abita Select Dinner Series on April 3rd at Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse in New Orleans. The Select Dinner Series usually consists of an Abita being paired with a few courses, but more importanly, their latest Select brew is often paired with the main course. This time around Abita’s new Four Grain is being paired with an 8oz Rib Eye. I don’t have much information on the Abita Four Grain at the moment, obviously one of the grains will be barley .. I wonder what the other 3 could be? Is it just 4 different kinds of malt? Will they use the trendy new beer ingredient Sorghum? I’ll let you know as soon as I find out!

Everything looks great, including a Dessert paired with Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager which looks fantastic! Anywho, the menu for the $75 all-inclusive Dinner is after the jump.
