Beer vs. Beer at Iron Hill

POSTED: Tuesday, October 23, 2012, 2:46 PM

Dinners with beer pairings are good, but here’s what’s better: dinners with two simultaneous beer pairings that pit brewery against brewery in an all-out death match. Such is the plan for Iron Hill Phoenixville’s (130 E. Bridge Street) Beer vs. Beer Dinner on Tue., Nov. 6: the brewery’s own beers will feature alongside selections from Allagash with each of five courses. It’s up to you to decide which pairing prevails.

The dinner starts at 7 p.m., carries a price tag of $85-a-head (inclusive of gratuity), and requires reservations. After the jump, we’ve got the full menu, which runs from light seared Hamachi to country-fried duck confit with biscuits and foie gras gravy, book-ended with a terrine and dessert that flaunt their fall pedigree to the fullest.

Autumn Terrine
butternut squash, goat cheese, chestnuts, pears, micro greens and buckwheat honey
IHB: Honey Saison -vs- Allagash: White
 
Rare Seared Hamachi
smoked fish roe, spiced plum puree and tempura fried fennel
IHB: Smokin’ Blonde -vs- Allagash: Fluxus
