- A bartender is making a beer-based mixed drink.
-
- They had a good assembly line running.
-
- Roasted Butternut Squash Melange was paired quite well with Galahad.
-
- The Venison Tartare was excellent and paired well with “K is for Kriek,” an excellent beer.
-
- This was Chef Andrew Gerson’s menu! He is the Chef & Head of Culinary Programming at Brooklyn Brewery.
-
- I enjoyed the scallop crudo but it was a little delicate to pair with beer. It was paired with Sorachi Ace, a citrusy farmhouse saison. I do love saisons!
-
- The Lamb Duo featured included ribs and shredded lamb and was my favorite dish of the evening. It was paired with Raspberry Whisper, a Belgian strong golden ale.
-
- The poached apple with apple caramel and semolina crumble was great and paired well with The Inensified Coffee Porter. I was surprised this pairing worked, but it did. The crumble was more of a cookie but delicious.
This “Ghost Bottles” (Galahad and Raspberry Whisper) are not available for sale. Galahad was my favorite beer of the evening.
Brookyn Brewery’s Secret Supper was held last night at Maurice Electrical Supply (a block from Union Market) in partnership with Dinnerlab. The rain prevented this form being an outdoor dining experience, but there was plenty of room inside for us all. Above are images of the evenings highlights, including all the dishes we were served.
Tomorrow at 3pm will be Brooklyn Brewery’s 3 Headed Beast event near Waterfront Metro. There is still time to get tickets ($35) for it, but it is not a vegetarian friendly event.
I also had the pleasure last night of trying Honeycomb Grocer‘s Pickled Watermelon Rind (made from heirloom Bradford Watermelon) and a great cocktail (Hemingway Daiquiri) from Prequel‘s Brick & Mortar (a speakeasy-like bar in the basement). Yes, it was a busy evening.
