"How funny does a Beer Battle Dinner sound? Let me tell you it was an explosion! Schells Brewing vs Montgomery Brewing with a Turkish theme menu. Each course is paired with a beer chosen by every brewer with a funny twist, not to know what beer comes from the brew. Vote for your favorite pairing after each course and at the end of the night the winner is outdated. I was impressed to listen to the chefs to discuss their vision for this menu from the first hand accounts they took over from the region's visit. To make this real connection to such a unique kitchen, the experience added a depth. After each course the breweries discussed why they chose their pairing of beer, which was interesting as some courses chose them completely different styles. Brewery and chefs kept it short and easy to run the event smoothly and never felt lengthened or a feeling of pulling out that could easily happen with five courses and ten beers! The event was presented for such a large group with an extensive set. I imagine a Turkish theme menu is hard to draw, given the huge selection of spices in the game, but was wonderfully done. The only miss from our table was the dessert course of rice pudding, we simply could not taste/consistency compound, but nevertheless it was a great night and congratulation to Montgomery Brewing for the WIN"
