April 27: Stillwater Artisan Ales Dinner at James
Leave it to the always innovative James (823 S. Eighth St.) to take beer dinners to beyond the simple pouring-and-pairing formula. Ardent fans of Stillwater Artisanal Ales, Jim and Kristina Burke reliably stock the brewery’s sudsy wares behind the sleek candlelit bar. (First time I tasted Stillwater’s haunting Cellar Door was here.) Last year, James and Stillwater did a beer dinner together; this year, they’ve taken it a step further, with sous chef/home-brewer Josh Evans collaborating with Stillwater's Brian Stumke on a house beer, Saison du James, brewed with cardamom leaves, yuzu and basil blossoms. The limited-edish SdJ drops on April 27, debuting alongside olive oil-poached Scottish salmon with chickpea mousse and garam masala-spiced carrot emulsion — first in a six-courser paired with Stillwater's rarest specimens. The dinner is $85 a head, reservations a must. Check out the full menu, with pairings, after the jump.
