June 12: Spinal Tapas does Yards Brawler for Philly Beer Week
Dating back to October '09, we've talked plenty about Tim McGinnis and Brian McManus (aka Spinal Tapas), Philly Kitchen Share's frequent occupants/dinner party hosts. Here's the latest for yas: On Saturday, June 12, the "McMasterminds" will mix it up with Yards for a Brawler Pugilist Style Ale Dinner. Each course will be paired and infused with the brewery's Brawler — McGinnis says its malty, smooth style is one of his favorites, and that he landed on the concept for the dinner after talking with buddy Tim Roberts, a Yards brewer. "A lot of craft breweries try to knock you over the head with extreme flavors and don't focus on balance," says McGinnis. "When I drink Yards, I can taste their balanced approach to their beers." Brawler's low, session-friendly ABV and near-absence of bitter hops also make it a no-brainer for cooking. Catch the menu after the jump. Get while the gettin's good, 'cause there are only 32 tickets total. The all-inclusive cost of admission is $50, and you can get your stubs for either seating — 5 p.m. or 8 p.m. — online. MENU: - "Manhandled" mussels steamed in Brawler - Alsace curly endive salad, fried poached egg with Brawler vinaigrette - Brawler brined, hickory smoked, schmaltz confit wings - Fiorella's pork sausage sandwich with Brawler mustard, caramelized Brawler onions, brave potatoes - Chuck Wepner chocolate cake ("Chuck 'The Bayonne Brawler' Wepner was a boxer in the '70s — not a premier boxer, but serviceable," says McGinnis when we asked him just who Wepner was. "He fought and lost a fight to Ali in the final rounds. Rumor has it that Sly Stallone watched the fight and was inspired to write Rocky. He was also mockingly called 'The Bayonne Bleeder.' Because of this, a friend of mine suggested a red velvet cake, but I thought it was a bit too literal. The cake is an adaption of Guinness chocolate cake.")
