About this Event

Welcome BiteWelcome Bites
A selection of chef-composed small bites
Paired with: Prague Days - Pale Czech Lager

A rich pale lager with considerable malt and hop character and a long, rounded finish. Complex yet well-balanced and refreshing.


First Course


Short Rib Tamale (on the Bone)
Mole Calico Amber braised short rib, blue corn masa, ajoblanco sauce, Verde mojo
Paired with: Calico Amber Ale
With its balance of caramel malt, toasted depth, and assertive hop character, Calico Amber Ale stands up to the richness of the braised short rib and mole while adding enough bitterness to sharpen the finish and keep the pairing lively

Second Course


Ricotta Agnolotti
sticky roasted pork, spring peas, ramps, Sculpin IPA mornay
Paired with: Sculpin IPA
Bright citrus and hop-driven structure from Sculpin cut through the richness of the pork and mornay while bringing energy and contrast to the sweetness of the peas and the earthiness of the ramps.


Third Course


Roasted Duck
Duck breast, duck and pork sausage, rhubarb, dark Czech Lager, and sherry demi, leek and potato purée
Paired with: Prague Nights – Dark Czech Lager
Prague Nights offers layered malt character, subtle roast, and a smooth finish that pairs seamlessly with duck, sherry demi, and rhubarb for a savory, elegant progression.


Fourth Course


PB & J Magic mushroom
peanut butter milk chocolate mousse, cherry compote, strawberry milk snow, chocolate air cake, fresh strawberries
Paired with: Victory at Sea – Imperial Porter

Rich notes of coffee, vanilla, and roasted malt make Victory at Sea a decadent finish, amplifying the caramelized depth of the cake and tying the evening together with a bold final impression.
