Secret location will be announced the week of the event to those
attending. Featuring two beers never before poured in the US!!!!
Our friend at TastingTable told us about Craig Perman. We paid a
visit to his beautiful wine shop soon thereafter. Craig has one
heck of a palate. We are delighted to be collaborating on a very
special "intime" beer dinner featuring Belgian regional
recipes. We promise you that Craig's special chefs will be presenting
dishes you have never been offered in Chicago before and a special
taste of Maitrank. We bet you have never had that either!
I’m back and very excited to formally announce “A Taste
of the Belgian Provinces” Beer dinner in conjunction with
X-Marx! From time to time I have worked with a local team of Chef’s
called X-Marx. We have collaborated to offer exciting food and wine
dinners in the past. Now we are back after a brief hiatus with what
promises to be a delicious, entertaining and educational beer dinner
focusing on Belgian beers matched with a take on food from their
provinces.
We are honored to be joined by Don Feinberg and Wendy Littlefield
of Vanberg & De Wulf. Two of the most authoritative figures
on Belgian beer in the United States. Their import company brings
some of Belgian’s best beers to our tables here in the United
States.
It is no secret that Belgium has some of the most extraordinary
cuisine in the world. Throughout the country regional dishes are
paired with local beers. This evening is meant to explore the wonderful
world of Belgian beers and their provincial pairings. Six beers
will be poured alongside six dishes specially created to match.
Two of the beers have never been poured in Chicago, so this will
be an evening of exciting new discoveries.
