March 6: Michigan breweries clash in Beer and Cheese Smackdown at The Sidecar

POSTED: Friday, February 27, 2009, 10:52 PM

Next Friday, March 6 marks the beginning of Philly Beer Week. Start the festivities off right by checking out the Beer and Cheese Smackdown at The Sidecar (2201 Christian St.,215-732-3429, thesidecarbar.com) starting at 6 p.m.

Two Michigan-based breweries, Arcadia and New Holland, are going head to head, matching beers with a lineup of six cheeses provided by the Italian Market's Claudio's. Thirsty/dairy-craving attendees will sample the brews with each cheese in a blind tasting to determine which beer they think complements each queso best. Fred Bueltmann of New Holland and Tim Suprise of Arcadia will be in the house, talking up their beers and pairing prowess while scrapping for Wolverine State supremacy.

And here's perhaps the most nonexistent biggest draw of them all: Yours truly will be hosting the event. There may even be a Felicia D. sighting. Meal Ticket: We exist in real life!

Space is limited. First come-first served tickets are $12 at the door.
