Because one can’t live on beer alone. Featuring Brewery Vivant in Cans Wednesday, January 16th • All Day No shotgunning please. At Brewery Vivant, they draw inspiration from the small farmhouse breweries that dot the countryside in Southern Belgium and Northern France. They take notes from these breweries’ artistic approach and explore their own interpretations of traditional styles using a mix of old world and new world ingredients and methods. They package in cans for the sake of the environment. We’ll be featuring four different beers, so come raise some cans and experience their take on the ancient art of brewing. New Holland & Arcadia Brewer’s Throwdown Thursday, January 17th • 6-8pm • $45 per person We cook. They pair. You judge. You will not want to miss this! Arcadia’s Tim Suprise and New Holland’s Fred Bueltmann are throwing down for a second time – and the battlefield is your palate. We will prepare a menu of 4 small plates, Fred and Tim pick their pairings, you blindly taste, and then vote for your favorites. Great food. Great beer. May the best beer win.
