HOBNOB Neighborhood Tavern chef Mark Nelson is frothing to host a five-course Bell’s Brewery Firkin Beer Dinner with beer pairings from the Michigan brewery. It all comes to a heady brew fruition at the Midtown restaurant on Wednesday, April 5 at 6:30 p.m. A Bell’s Brewery rep will pour out knowledge on the various featured beers: Special Double Cream Stout Firkin, Two Hearted Ale, Oberon Ale, Oarsman Ale and Lager of the Lakes. Giveaways are a given. Buy tickets online: $49 per person in advance, $69 at the door.
Michigan brewers are eager
to kiss their own winter goodbye and cart their summer ale south for a March
beer launch. Warm days mean cold beer. Bell’s
Brewery, based in Kalamazoo, Mich., is launching their seasonal
Oberon
ale on the patio at Marlow’s
Tavern in Alpharetta on Tuesday, March 25 from 6-10 p.m. To
accomplish the same in Michigan this time of year would require much more
outerwear. Word is that the Bell’s gang is packing swag with their beer for
games and a raffle. Marlow’s is whipping up appetizer sampler plates of crab
beignets, mozzarella flatbread and goat cheese bruschetta ($9.50) to keep your
beers company.
