Find your inner happiness at the next Earl’s Bucks County Tasty Thursdays Five Course Tasting & Pairing Dinner featuring River Horse Brewing Company, Thursday, April 28 at 7 p.m.
Brewer Chris McGrath will pair five year-round and specialty River Horse offerings with an eclectic menu by Chef Tavares. Chris will be your guide as you discover beer’s many hidden complexities and learn that not only does beer enhance the flavor of food, but that food enhances the flavor of beer.
First Course: asparagus/fava beans/mache/Gruyere/artichokes, paired with Summer Blonde – A light, refreshing ale, easy to drink yet complex. Perfect for the warmer months. 4/5 ABV.
Second Course: moules/frites/herbs/ham/Dutch fritessaus, paired with Tripel Horse – This River Horse take on a Belgian style Tripel is fermented with a Trappist yeast strain with hints of vanilla and a variety of complex flavors. 10 ABV.
Third Course: pork tenderloin/nashiki/BBQ/dragon sauce/lemongrass/kumquats, paired with Farmhouse Saison – A traditional Belgian specialty brew with some New Jersey creativity. Notes of citrus with lemongrass and white peppercorns create a dry, tart finish. 7.0 ABV
Fourth Course: short rib sauerbraten/potato dumpling/red cabbage/green peppercorns, paired with Hop-A-Lot-Amus – Continual hopping during the boil gives this Double IPA tons of hop flavor and aroma. Pine and citrus notes are backed by a rich malt base. 8.5 ABV
Fifth Course: chocolate terrine/hazelnuts/pistachio cream, paired with Lager – This crisp, refreshing lager reveals bready notes and a subtle maltiness balanced with just enough hops. 5.0 ABV
About River Horse Brewing Company: One of the oldest breweries in New Jersey, River Horse Brewing Company has been producing exciting craft beers since 1996. Although not a newcomer to the local craft beer scene, River Horse has undergone a makeover in recent years. New ownership in 2007 has lead to a “changing of the guard,” with new faces, new recipes, and even a new mascot. However, the commitment to brew great, local craft beer has not changed. Currently, the brewery is producing five annual, five seasonal and three specialty releases each year. With a wide range of styles that appeal to any beer drinker, River Horse creates well-balanced beers that excite the palate. The brewery is located in Lambertville, NJ, next to the Delaware River.
