#5Beers5Bites Beer Dinner at The Southern Gourmasian

I was fortunate enough to attend Stone's Throw Brewing's monthly #5Beers5Bites beer dinner at The Southern Gourmasian restaurant last night and I must say if you haven't been to one of these you're really missing out. Assuming you love food and beer. The pairings are great and the whole things is very interactive, informative and above all delicious. Watch for the next one.

Here's a bit more on last night's:

Pork belly corn dogs, sweet and spicy mustard
Aceypalooza Pale Lager

2nd
Bourbon smoked octopus, white beans, celery, red onion
Kupfer Munich Dunkel

3rd

George Reisch Beer Dinner

I had the pleasure of attending this great event a few weeks ago (I even pop-up in the video at 1:17). George Reisch, AB Brewmaster, has a vast knowledge of beer, literally growing up around it. A fifth-generation brewmaster, Reisch’s family operated the Reisch Brewing Co. for 117 years. During his career, he worked for Schlitz and Miller before finding a home at Anheuser-Busch. He's a great storyteller as well, which seems to be a prerequisite in the beer industry lately. The food and beer pairings were great and the setting made everything even better.

Check out the very well done video below from the guys at Beer Loves Little Rock recapping the event a bit:

We're at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library for a Anheuser-Busch sponsored dinner! The AB Brewmaster, George Reisch, lets us in on his vast knowledge of brewing and GREAT food parings!
