By on September 18, 2009in bars/restaurants, beer dinners

Looking to enjoy some delicious Minnesota food and beer (or wine) this weekend?! If so head on over to Ngon Bistro for a 3 Course Farmer’s Market Tasting with Beer Pairing. This menu will be served Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the dinner hours.

3 Course Farmer’s Market Tasting with Beer Pairing

Went to the Dale & University farmer’s market and went a little a little crazy. I think I got about 200lbs of produce on my Surly big dummy bike. If you haven’t been there, they are in the parking lot of Sun Foods. They offer allot of herbs & vegetables that you would not normally find at other farmer’s markets. This weekend we are going to offer a 3 course tasting using ingredients from that market with a MN beer or MN wine pairing.

First Course: Asian cucumber & pear tomatoes with rau rum vinaigrette

Second Course: Minnesota Pheasant Confit with pea shoots, Thai basil, & egg noodles with a pho spiced duck broth

Third Course: Wild Rice Crusted Red Lake Walleye with roasted beets and a sweet corn & rhubarb chutney

Dinner only

The Beer Pairings are as follows:

  • First course: Summit Scandia
  • Second course: Lift Bridge Crosscut
  • Third course: Lift Bridge Farm Girl

And for you wine drinkers:

  • First course: St Croix La Crescent
  • Second course: Winehaven Syrah
  • Third course: Alexis Bailly Seyval Blanc

LSD at Town Hall Brewery

By on September 15, 2009in brewpubs

Don’t get all excited we are simply talking about our newest beer…a Lavender, Sunflower Honey and Date beer. This late summer seasonal is the work of brewer Josh, and it is good. A very interesting herbal aroma and flavor with a pronounced honey character from our local Minnesota honey. The dates give an interesting chewy malt flavor that is a touch woody…..this beer was a hit at Autumn Brew Review this past weekend, stop in and get yours this monday 9/21 5pm.
