Thomas Liquors is happy to host Rush River for the first FFF of 2012. Nick Anderson from Rush River will be tasting out all of their bottled offerings and Fitty will be breaking out some hard-to-find beers to share.
Oh yeah, that’s “Fitty’s First Friday,” not the brewery from Munster, IN. 😉
Once again, Hai over at Ngon Bistro has lined up quite the tasting menu for New Years Eve for only $40.
First Course: Coconut Cream & Acorn Squash Soup, candied walnuts and house-cured bacon
Second Course: House Cured Lamb Belly & Daikon Cake, local greens in a wasabi sauce
Third Course: Wild rice crusted Star Prairie Trout & oyster mushrooms with a spicy quava mint sauce
Fourth Course: Five spice Braised Fischer Farms Pork Shank with sweet potatoes & pickled greens
For an extra charge, your meal can be paired with your choice of wine ($20) or beer ($15)–but given that they’ll be tapping Surly Darkness, Surly Five & a firkin of Lift Bridge Farm Girl with Asian plums, I’d opt for the beer.
Reservations can be made at their website or their Facebook page, but make yours today, its sure to fill up!
Harriet is breaking out three varieties of Dry Hopped West Side IPA–with Simcoe, Amarillo & Cascade–for the holidays, growlers filled today and for sale during their normal growler sales:

Perhaps you’ve stumbled upon this initiative already, but if not, you should. The Better Beer Society will be sort of a Better Business Bureau for beer. The Heavy Table has a nice write up today about the effort here.
Al keeps planning ’em so we keep posting ’em.
