Connections-Update on the Meet Up on November 4th

I had planned for the next post to be about the Windsor Craft Beer Festival.  It is almost done and ready but something showed up in my email today that I needed to share.

On November the 4th we, For Barley or For Wort along with Stoneface Dolly's are hosting a meet up.  Why a meet up?  Well we attend a lot of events and tweet about it, blog about and so do many other people. We talked to these people and breweries via social media but it is not often we get to see each other, to meet and shake hands in person.  We decided it was time to change that.  Craft beer is about the community as much as it is about the beer, at least in my opinion. 

We have been planning the event for a couple of weeks now. I have watched the reservation numbers on the eventbrite page go up with great excitement. 

Today Jeff Russell, chef at Stoneface Dolly's sent me the menu for the night. If you aren't sure about coming perhaps the menu will sway you. 

For the night they will be offering:

Lamb burger
Topped with goat cheese, caramelized red onion and peppers.

Almond Encrusted Chicken                  Supreme style Mariposa breast topped with a brie cream sauce and poached pear. Served with garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables. Sun-dried tomato Goat cheese           Goat cheese covered with marinated sundried tomato, basil and green onion and served with homemade crostini. Homemade foccaccia bread                  With your choice of toppings: Choice of basil pesto and bruschetta or eggplant and goat cheese spread topped with caramelized peppers and onions       Black Bean

Chicken or Tofu Bobotie

A traditional South African dish. Baked ground chicken with light curry spices, almonds and raisons served with coconut basmati rice, fruit chutney, yogurt raita, and vegetables.
