New Holland Beer Dinner - Esplanade Bier Markt - October 15t

Pretty sweet looking beer dinner coming up to celebrate the launch of New Holland into Ontario. I think this may be a BarTowel scoop and this news is not widely distributed yet, so you should grab a ticket if you're interested - there aren't many to go around.

It's all about the Hatter apparently. Maybe they'll have that as an extra though, since it's coming to the LCBO?

Apparently there are still a few tickets left for this, which is a bit surprising to me - that's a great looking menu, and the debut of these beers in Ontario is pretty exciting, IMO.

Hope to see a few of you there!

I was there, and aside from the somewhat pedestrian dessert (basically flourless chocolate cake, not as exciting as the description), the food was quite good.

Michael Cipollo is a pretty great chef. Not boundary-pushing, perhaps, but he knows how to work well with flavours, and can pair with beer better than most chefs in the city. Like any corporate chef, the food being served day-to-day may not reflect this, but I've enjoyed any meal I've had where he was heading the kitchen.
