LIBERTINE

Our new Head Chef Matt Reddick steps up to the plate this month for his first Libertine Bar Beer Dinner. Matt is looking forward to putting his own stamp on this dinner and explains a little of what to expect:

“North Coast Brewing Company beers are all exceptional brews that have immense depth of flavor. I want to highlight that by using the beers in each dish, both complimenting flavors and accompanying them. For instance, with the Red Seal ale dish i am using the beer in a broth with sweet potato gnocchi and blue crab. The beers rich maltyness and bitter/spicy hops should accentuate the sweetness of the gnocchi and crab.”

The North Coast Brewery, located in the town of Fort Bragg off of California’s Mendocino coast, has become one of the most highly decorated breweries in California to date.Their impressive array of fine ales, lagers and stouts have wowed crowds since 1988 but most of their recipes date back much further. With Brew Master Mark Ruedrich at the helm, North Coast has managed to spread to 47 states as well as Europe and the Pacific rim. We have featured fan favorites such as the Red Seal Ale, Scrimshaw Pils, Old Rasputin Imperial Stout, Brother Thelonious and the Pranqster. Finally our continually developing relationship with this gem of a brewery has manifested in a this much anticipated beer dinner.

1st Course: La Merle marinated beet salad with roasted almonds, apples and pears w/ La Merle Saison

2nd Course: Red Seal broth with sweet potato gnocchi and blue crab w/ Red Seal Ale

3rd Course: Pork loin ballotine wrapped in prosciutto with Old Rasputin glaze and roasted root vegetables w/ Old Rasputin Imperial Stout

4th Course: Braised ham hocks with savory Brother Thelonious pear chutney w/ Brother Therlonious

5th Course: Blood orange granita with a Pranquster reduction syrup w/ Pranquster Belgian style golden ale

As always the price is $50 per person (plus tax) and the dinner starts at 7pm. Reservations are required and can be made on 214-824-7900 or with one of our friendly staff members.
