Seven reasons to salivate
This isn’t set in stone yet, but I wanted to give you a peek at the possible full menu for the Big Sky/Blue Canyon Beer Dinner that is happening on Jan. 23, 2009. I went last year, and the pairing of Big Sky’s many specialty beers this year promises to be a rare treat indeed.
A couple weeks ago, Big Sky Brewer Matt Long and I went to Blue Canyon with a few bottles of some of the barrel-aged and other specialty beers in hand. We tasted a bit, and chef Larry would run off to the kitchen and cook something based on the flavor profile he picked up from the beer and our discussions. This is how this menu was created. So be tempted by this, it’s an amazing meal, and if you’re not a beer connoisseur yet, you will be after this.
