dianeRFD-1_1.JPGJoin the Alexanders of Brickskeller fame, and myself, for a celebration of chocolate, both sweet and savory, and the flavors of craft beer. We’ll have a great menu, featuring the special Curry Ginger Carrot Soup recipe from Diane Alexander, sampled at the Great American Beer Festival!

We had a tremendous evening of RFD cuisine inspired by the cookbook, with special pairings selected from Dave’s cellar:Reception beer: Unibroue Quelque Chose 2002

Bittersweet Salad, with Carr Valley Cheese Co.’s Cocoa Cardona goat cheese, paired with Lost Abbey Red Barn Ale, a farmhouse style

Diane’s Ginger Curry Carrot Soup with Unibroue’s Ephemere Pomme

Cocoa-spice rubbed braised pork with Rogue Ales Hazelnut Brown and New Belgium La Folie

Chocolate Noir Cake with Bell’s Java Stout and New Glarus Brewing Co. Wisconsin Belgian Red Cherry Ale

and as a delectation at the end, we’ll have a toast with an import, JW Lees Vintage Harvest Ale….truly a wonderful spectrum of pairings.  P1010198-1_1.JPG
