Craft beers can transform a meal from ordinary to extraordinary.
Learn how to pair craft beer with cuisine from the experts at “Brewing Up a Meal,” at Table 9 in Morgantown on Thursday (Aug. 17) from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This popular event is hosted by WVU Continuing Professional Education.
Eat scrumptious cuisine and learn what styles of craft beer to pair, or not to pair, during this fun and relaxing evening.
Bryce Capodieci, a certified cicerone and beer judge, will be on hand to answer questions regarding the craft beer and food served and to help you understand how the flavors and aromas of craft beer compliment or contrast with gourmet food to make a memorable dining experience.
Chef Mark Tasker, the owner of Table 9, will also speak about the cuisine as it is being served. Tasker has served as a sous chef and managed several exquisite, well-known restaurants such as Newton’s Table in Washington, D.C., and Eleven Madison Park in New York City.
The menu will include four courses, with two craft beers per course. The courses include:
- Shrimp wontons, ginger, scallions and soy
- Scotch egg, beer mustard and arugula
- Grilled filet, onion ring, and garlic herb butter
- Olive oil cake, blackberries and vanilla ice cream
For each course, one craft beer will heighten your dining experience as an excellent pairing, and a second one will not quite pair as perfectly, so that you can see the differences in the beer and food interactions.
Table 9 is beautifully situated along the Monongahela River at The Wharf District. Parking passes for the Wharf parking garage will be provided.
