Hotel Viking of Newport, Rhode Island Kicks off 9 Weeks of Beer Dinners on March 9
Newport, Rhode Island (PRWEB) February 19, 2016 -- Hotel Viking kicks off 9 Weeks of Beer, a series of innovative menus paired with craft beers from some of New England’s top breweries, on March 9. First up, Hotel Viking Chef Barry Correia and his team offer a menu designed to pair with brews from Samuel Adams. The fixed-price menu starts with an appetizer of endive salad with pistachio brittle, pickled cauliflower, shaved red onion and herb oil, followed by a main course of fried cod served over mashed rutabaga with savory braised kale. And to finish: cheesecake (beer-flavored, of course).
This year’s 9 Weeks of Beer continues Hotel Viking’s winning streak of theme events including its widely popular Spirits & Stogies nights and its Viking Wine Festival. For reservations, call 401-848-4813.
“Our beer distributors helped us compile a list of breweries that would be interested in participating,” said Chef Correia. “Each week, we’ll pair a three-course dinner with three beers from the featured brewery.” The series will run for nine weeks on Wednesday nights. Beer parings are served in 6-oounce pours.
“Newport is breaking out of cabin fever at this time year,” said Correia. “We’ll have a fire blazing in the fireplace on our outdoor patio. We invite diners to stick around and have a cigar or a drink by the fire.”
