TONIGHT: Swiss Craft Beer Event at Fork & Barrel

This evening, Fork & Barrel (4213 Ridge Ave.) will host Jerome Rebetez of small-batch brewery Brasserie Des Franches-Montagnes for an evening of dropping some serious Swiss craft beer knowledge, pouring from two firkins and at least two kegs of difficult-to-attain Swiss brews such as La Douze and Abbey de St. Bon Chien Grand Cru Vin Jaune. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., the event will allow you to pay as you go, so you are not bound to a sit-down dinner, though F&B has prepared a very special menu to pair suggestively with Rebetez's bottle-conditioned artisan beers. Options include oysters with green curry salad, black pepper pound cake with vanilla tea ganache and pink pepper brittle, or black cod with fresh tarragon and preserved lemons and shallots. The tasting will go on till midnight, but beer geeks should definitely arrive early to sample all of the goods.
