Supper Club - 2012 Spring Edition

IMBC Supper Club - Spring 2012 from maddalenna.

We recently had our 2nd supper club this past Saturday in Long Beach. It was larger, and more successful than our Winter edition with 18 people showing up to sample our brews and eats. My sister was in attendance, and she obliged to capture some footage of the night. Big ups to Madelene Farin for capturing and editing the footage. Follow her tumblr, maddalenna.



Added more tables to accomodate everyone. Big ups, to my wife (<3) with setting up the ambience. I had my brother and cousin with me in the kitchen, which  made food service pretty smooth. I cooked and served 8 people for the Winter edition, and I wanted to see how far the Farin Bros could push ourselves with 18 people. I created a menu in which I could cook the majority of things a day before and minimize the cooking during prep.



For the starter, we had a duo of sausage. The hot italian with homemade whole grain mustard. The curry chicken pork belly with a roasted parsnip and sweet potato puree. We paired the starter with our Irish Red.

For the main, we had beer braised short ribs with citrus gremolata, prosciutto wrapped asaparagus and confit fingerlings. We paired the main with our Oaked Porter. It's the same porter from the Winter edition, we just added bourbon soaked white oak chips to add flavor while it aged.

For the dessert, we had a berry and stone fruit medley dressed with a honey mint lime sauce. We paired dessert with our Black Wit.

Brewer's notes to follow for a detailed description of each of the beers.

From the feedback we received, everyone enjoyed the food and beer pairings. The overall favorite of the night was our Oaked Porter, Irish Red, and the SD Session. Our main focus was to enhance the beer tasting experience with food. Watch out for our Summer and Winter editions coming later this year in SD. Especially our Winter edition. DO NOT SLEEP. It will be ridiculous.
