Beer vs. Beer at Iron Hill
Iron Hill's Phoenixville location hosts Allagash for a little friendly competition over dinner.
Beer vs. Beer at Iron Hill
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.
