Happy Birthday Mommy!
Hooray -- today is my birthday!
Last night, our local brew pub had a brewer's dinner (if you've visited us here, I'm certain we took you there for at least 1 meal: The Rockyard) and since we know the Brewmaster and his wife, of course we wanted to go.
Check out this menu (EVERY course was made with beer!):
Lightning Strike Beef Barley Soup (Lightning Strike is one of their micro brews) and served with beer bread made with spent hops. Yum!!!
Slow-roasted Quail marinated in fresh herbs, Double Eagle Ale, and a dash of balsalmic vinegar to arouse the palate. Served with daupiniouse potatoes.
(sorbet)
Pepper crusted venison loin seared and finished with Red Hawk Ale demi glace. Served with white wine poached squash rings and fresh peppers and green beans
(sorbet)
Shrimp Imperial - stuffed with crab meat with Hopyard IPA Buerre Rouge. Served w/pesto cream linguini
(sorbet)
Tender lamb chops rubbed with fresh rosemary oil, grilled and topped with Lightning Strike Stout hunter sauce. Served wtih grilled portabellos and red peppers.
(sorbet)
Each course (except the soup) was served with a different glass of beer and the grand finale was a fabulous spice cake with pumkin ale ice cream. Served with this year's debut of Plymouth Rock Pumpkin Ale -- MAGNIFICENT! Hands-down, the best pumpkin beer I've ever tasted. Andy bought a growler for us to take home.
One of the best meals we've had since moving away from New Orleans!!
The tables were set up to be long (14 to a table), so we got to sit near our friends, and make some new friends too. It was a fabulous night, and fortunately, we were able to find a last-minute babysitter right here in the neighborhood!
Hooray!
So what are we doing TODAY for my actual b-day? Who the heck knows? I have an appt with my acupucturist and other than that, it's pretty open. So we shall see....
