Dogfish Head at the Blue Monk

Last night Michelle and I attended the Dogfish Head dinner at The Blue Monk. The event paired Dogfish Head beers with 4 dishes that also included beer as an ingredient. 90 Minute IPA onion soup, Aprihop spinach salad, Spare ribs with brown ale BBQ sauce and Chicory stout brownie & ice cream. The food and beers were excellent, and the brewer was also there pitching his book and his beers. He shared a little of Dogfish’s history and explained how they had hoped to create unique and significant beers with a regional individuality. Which they’ve done quite well.

As a surprise, everyone got a sample of the World Wide Stout after desert. It was awesome. We didn’t stay for the show after though, being full and exhausted. Maybe next time.
