Central City Bacon Tasting Menu

Friday, August 20th, 2010 | Events, Food and Recipes | 3 Comments

Back in the colonies one of my favorite breweries is doing something extremely rad.  Central City is offering a bacon tasting menu all September using bacon cured with their own beer.  The three course menu only costs $35 and features bacon and corn cakes paired with Red Racer Lager, country bacon terrine with Red Racer ESB, and maple chocolate bacon cheesecake prepared with Red Racer Stout.  Can you believe that? A three course meal and beer pairings for $35 based on bacon, the world’s most delicious food (fat and salt, mmmm)!  I might have to fly back for this.

Cheers,

Chris

Father’s Day Beer Dinners

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010 | Beer | No Comments

In case you’ve forgotten, it’s Father’s Day this Sunday!  To celebrate the occasion a few BC breweries have got themselves involved in some Father’s Day beer dinners.  If your Dad likes eating good food and drinking good beer, then I can’t thing of a better Fathery’s Day gift than a trip to one of these dinners:

• Central City in Surrey will be offering a three course meal, each course made with beer as an ingredient and paired with beer, for $35 anytime between 4PM and 8PM on Sunday, June 20th.  I haven’t been to one of the Father’s Day dinners at Central City before, but I’ve seen pictures and heard Erik’s account of last year’s dinner.  Without yet seeing the menu I can say, and trust me here, it’s worth the money.
• R&B Brewing is doing a Father’s Day dinner with DIVA at the Met in Vancouver.  This dinner is a five course affair with each course paired with an R&B beer.  On Saturday, June 19th from 7PM to 9:30PM this dinner can be yours for a mere $49.  Again, I wasn’t there last year, but I heard the reviews and saw the pictures.  It looked amazing, as does this year’s menu below.

Cheers,

Chris
