What a night! The dinner started at 7:30pm and finished around 11-11:30pm, however most people stuck around until much later.
Steve Thibeault of Unibroue spoke about the history and different styles of beer before the dinner started and in between each course, but only for about 5 minutes or less at a time.
Each course was made with a beer and served with the same beer it was made with. They provided one bottle of beer for two people, so everyone ended up with half a beer of each brew with each course.
Each seat had the menu for the evening along with a little booklet called "Nevada Beer Dinner" with the three brewery logos on the front and a biography of each brewery along with a desciption of each beer served.
Here's the menu:
1) Organic baby spinach, smoked bacon, caramelized red onions, capers & orange vinaigrette.
Beer: Unibroue Blanche de Chambly
2) Cajun spiced jumbo black tiger shrimp, taramind glaze & fresh coconut green chili chambo.
Beer: Cameron's Lager
3) Steamed P.E.I. mussels with saffron, guajillo chilis, shallots, red onion, Auburn Ale & julienne tomato.
Beer: Cameron's Auburn Ale
4) French brie & toni mushroom bastilla served with spicy Indian style mango chutney.
Beer: St. Ambroise Pale Ale
5) Curried free range chicken breast, with rice, jalapenos, pineapple, yogurt sauce & papa dom.
Beer: Unibroue Maudite
6) Tarte tatin with oatmeal stout coulis.
Beer: St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout
The good news in all this is that the reps of all three Breweries were extremely pleased with the way the evening progressed so they will definitely be holding more of these beer dinners, either all together again or on their own.
The other good news is that there were more women in attendance than men. I'd say about 60% of the patrons were women! It's nice to see more and more women appreciating beer and beer cuisine.
All in all, this was definitely worth $30!
