If you're anything like me, you're always looking for something to do and that can be a tough task with so many dinner events going on. They all sound amazing. This week I chose the Summer Craft Beer Dinner at Sobo's Winebeerstro in Salisbury. MD. It was the best decision I made in quite awhile. My senses are still recovering from the hedonistic assault of aromas, flavors and textures that Chef Patrick Fanning crafted for us.
Each course was paired with a Summer Craft beer and the lineup was stellar. All the beers are excellent on their own and are well worth stocking your fridge and beer cellar with. Many people consider it a hefty a price tag but it is a great deal if you consider the amount of food and beer you actually consume at the event. Plus it is a great way to meet new like-minded food and beer lovers.
1st course
EVO Summer session
Beer battered Fiji apples on a caramelized onion pancake and a caramelized lemon rind syrup.
This was a good pairing, the crispness in the beer was a great compliment to the battered apples.
2nd course
Anchor Steam summer
Summertime squash bisque, smoked bacon, frizzled pickled shallots
The malt in this beer was a great compliment to the creamy sweetness and light spice of the bisque.
3rd course
Sierra Nevada summer
Hand chopped Bison tacos, heirloom tomato pico de gallo, roasted sweet corn salsa, chipolte, aioli, smoked cheddar.
My favorite pairing of the night. The crisp, clean flavors of the beer with the light floral aromas were just magnificent with the spices in the taco. The Bison was just super tender and full of flavor.
4th course
Buffalo Bills Cream ale
Orange and Mint creme brule
Lots of interesting flavors going on here. Creamy, light and lots of orange!!
