Beer Pairing Dinners
0 Comments · Tuesday, May 21, 2013
I’ve been to wine pairing and cocktail
pairing dinners, but I just hit my first beer pairing dinner. I guess

Yard House is a restaurant chain purchased
last year by Darden Restaurants, the publicly traded corporation that
brought us Olive Garden, Red Lobster and Seasons 52. The chain’s 44th
location overlooks the Roebling Bridge, a baseball toss from the
homegrown and similarly themed Moerlein Lager House.

The Dishcrawl sounds a lot like a speed
dating with restaurants. Over a three-hour period, spend just enough
time to become acquainted with multiple places and enjoy small courses
to get a representation of what they offer.

Spring Tonic

A “spring tonic” used to be a home remedy
that was supposed to cleanse your system. As grannies would say, it was
“good for what ails you.” This spring, I think I’ll take my tonic the
tasty way — with gin.

Why would Ed Hardy make mints? Because
these mints — King Dog Energy Mints — have a little extra party juice in
them. They are “intensely caffeinated”; five mints equal (according to
the packaging) a cup of coffee. (Having tried them, I can attest to
those numbers.)
