Crave + Sixpoint Craft Ales Four-Course Pairing Dinner

RESERVATIONS REQUIRED for this one-night pairing dinner hosted by Crave. Meat options may be replaced with tofu by request.

Restaurant organizers say: "Beer is an all too underrated complement to haute cuisine, but the combination of Crave's comfort food-inspired flavors and the hoppy, spicy and even herbal aromas that hover above the head of a well-poured Sixpoint (or four) makes for full and happy food and beer lovers."


Menu:

Amuse Bouche

    Spiced corn soup topped with sweet pea foam

    paired with Sixpoint Crisp Pilsner which offers light, crisp grain and soft caramel flavors.

First Course

    Caramelized onion and brie tart with a Telicherry balsamic reduction, baby arugula and dehydrated tangerines

    paired with Sixpoint Belgian IPA which exudes a clean and refined aroma with hints of citrus, pine and spice and ends in a snappy finish.
   
Second Course

    Mini lobster club sandwich with applewood smoked bacon, ahi amarillo mayonnaise and micro greens on toasted brioche

    paired with Sixpoint Mad Scientists Release #1, a spelt wine with citrus and wheat tones, herbal character and a spicy hop finish.
