Brooklyn Mash 2016 Austin Preview (Nov. 10-13)

[Sponsored Post]

As we announced in full recently, Brooklyn Brewery’s Mash tour is hitting the road again in 2016, with stops in nine world cities, including London, Stockholm, Chicago, Philadelphia, Paris, Washington D.C., Boston, Austin and New Orleans.

Next in the series is Austin, Nov. 10-13. As in every other iteration of The Mash on this tour, the festivities will be broken up into multiple events structured around a full weekend, celebrating themes of exploration and discovery.

Dinner with Friends at Italic — Nov. 10 at 7 p.m.

Brooklyn Brewery Chef Andrew Gerson will be teaming up with Italic Chef Andrew Curren to create a night of rustic Italian cuisine and (of course) Brooklyn Brewery beer. This one-night-only family style menu will feature experimental beers alongside inventive cuisine, and is built for “exchanging bites and comparing notes.” The menu will include:

Fritto Misto of Local Vegetables
Roasted Mushroom and L’ottavio (cow’s milk cheese from Piedmont, Italy) Pizza
Bacatini Amatriciana
Dandelion Angolotti with Speck Brodo
Braised Short Ribs, Roasted Chicken and Rustic Potatoes
Chocolate Budino

That menu will be supplemented with rare “Ghost Bottles” from the Brooklyn Brewery reserve, including the likes of Galahad (a strong Belgian golden ale aged on cider lees in bourbon barrels) and Kiwi’s Playhouse (a sour ale aged on kiwis in bourbon barrels). Reservations are open now.
