Beer, Bourbon, Bacon and Beyond Dinner at The New Bridge Wine Bar & Restaurant

Tuesday, April 26, 2016 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The New Bridge Wine Bar & Restaurant, 29 Main Street
Warrenton, 20186

We are collaborating with Heritage Brewing, Catoctin Creek Distilling Company and Whiffletree Farm to bring you a twist on our pairing dinners. Instead of a wine-paired dinner, we will be pairing distilled spirits and craft beer with recipes of all things pork (of course, that means some bacon!)

Yes, we know that the spirits from Catoctin Creek are technically whiskey. The name of the event could be misleading, but we liked the alliteration of it! Forgive us!

This is a celebration of sustainable, locally-sourced and organic production methods from farms, breweries and distilleries.

Whiffletree Farm uses farming methods that create the best environment for it’s animals, improves the fertility of the land, and results in the most nutritious meat and eggs for customers. Their beef cattle are 100% grass fed. Turkeys, broiler chickens, pigs, and laying hens live outdoors and are given feed without any genetically modified ingredients.

Heritage Brewing uses 100% Organic base malts and 92% of all ingredients are either organic or locally sourced.

Catoctin Creek Organic Roundstone Rye® is one of the few organic whiskeys in the entire world!

Did you know that Heritage Brewing Amber Ale is aged in Catoctin Creek Distilling Company rye whiskey barrels? How’s that for tying it all together?

The menu is inspired by the book, Beyond Bacon: Paleo Recipes that Respect the Whole Hog by PaleoParents http://paleoparents.com/

Call 540-349-9339 or email elizabeth@thenewbridge.net to make reservations. $80 per person
