Dec. 14: Italian Beer & Food Experience at Farmers' Cabinet

The Farmers' Cabinet (1113 Walnut St.), purveyor of all things excellent to drink, is hosting the Italian Beer & Food Experience this Wednesday. For $90, you’ll get nine rare Italian beers (many on draft) from the likes of Del Borgo, Del Ducato and Almond '22, a microbrewery making chestnut-honey barleywine and pink-peppercorn IPA in the mountains of Abruzzo. Matthias Neidhart, who pioneered bringing Boot-bred beers to the States via his B. United International importers, will be on hand at the dinner to discuss the beers, as well as the brewing revolution in Italy. Meanwhile, chef de cuisine/paesan’ Steve Forte will be cooking housemade cotechino, gnocchi with lamb ragu, a take on vitello tonnato and more Italian plates to pair with the brews. Full food/drink details after the jump; call F-Cab at 215-923-1113 for reservations.
