Brewer's Dinner with the Victorian Belle and Gigantic Brewing
Join us for a five-course tasting menu dinner at the Victorian Belle featuring the beautiful pairings of our own Chef Jorge Castillo Quintal and Gigantic Brewing. The brewmaster from Gigantic Brewing will guide you through the subtleties of the craft beers for each course.
Gigantic Brewing
Gigantic Brewing has been around for 12 years. Owners Ben Love and Van Havig have a long history of brewing in the PNW.
Ben Love's passion for beer began in Portland's early craft days with frequent visits to the Horse Brass Pub and Belmont Station. He can credit his early brewing career to some of the biggest breweries around, Pelican Brewing Co. and Hopworks Urban Brewery.
As a brewer, Van continues to question convention in terms of beer styles, brewing methods, and brewer dogma. His appreciation of old-world styles and methods leads to unique takes on new styles.
Friday, July 26th
Doors and Bar open at 5:30 pm
Dinner begins at 6:30 pm
After dinner, join us for billiards on the third floor, enjoy a stroll around the grounds, or explore the mansion's three floors at your leisure.
