Mostly Barrel Aged Beer Dinner Menu

DSC_5203

Below is our menu for the Scala’s “Mostly Barrel Aged Beer Dinner” for San Francisco Beer Week.  We’re excited about this combination of local food and local beers.  The beers represent a wide selection of “mostly” barrel aged beers.  We’ll be exploring beers that have spent time inside a barrel, and the flavors they imparts.  Barrels of all sorts are included, ranging from bourbon to wine to port.   The effects of these barrels offers a huge variety of flavors, from the farmhouse funk of brettanomyces to the silken vanilla flavors from a bourbon barrel.  Alongside is an indulgent meal designed specifically to pair with these beers from Chef Jen Biesty and her kitchen.

Brewmasters from many of the breweries will be joining us to talk about their creations, and the process that lead them to your glass. Many of these beers are rare or limited releases, and some, such as the blend from Drakes, are specially blended just for this event.   It’s going a night not to be missed, for beer and food lovers alike.
