Beer Week Collab: The Chef, The Brewer and The Farmer dinners

Start

This year, Beer Week (which kicks of today!) will feature The Chef, The Brewer, and The Farmer dinners, too-good-to-be-true trifectas of the regions best edible creations. Local culinary geniuses will collab with brewers and farmers from throughout the region to produce one-of-a-kind food-tastic events.

Bill Covaleski, Victory Brewing Company Head Brewer and one of the events’ organizers believes that, “this series of ultimate foodie beer dinners challenges [local chefs] to focus their thoughts on ‘local,’ for the benefit of all Philly foodies.” We couldn’t agree more.

The fist event kicks off this Sunday, June 5th at Osteria, with chefs Marc Vetri and Jeff Michaud, brewers Carol and Jodi Stoudt of Stoudt’s Brewing Company, and Ian Brendle of Green Meadow Farm. Individual prices and menus will vary by event. All dinners are expected to sell out, so reservations, which can be made by directly contacting the restaurant of your choice, are highly recommended.

Be prepared to delight your palate with expertly prepared fare that will highlight PA’s unique crop of producers. Whether headed to a four-course dinner at Fork paired with Victory beers infused with local herbs from Green Meadow farm, or to an all-you-can-eat outdoor pig roast with chef Luke Eschbach at Marathon Restaurant, you will enjoy an unrivaled experience, and some of the top food and beer around.

The dining experience is always reliant upon a collaboration of sorts, and during a week celebrating Philly’s finest beers, we must also celebrate the fine food and its sources that pair so well with these local libations.
