Oct. 3: All pumpkin, all the time at The Institute
 |
Next Saturday, Oct. 3, Charlie and Heather Collazo's The Institute (549 N. 12th St.) is hosting the pumpkin beer fest to end all pumpkin beer fests. They'll have 10 whoa-it's-fall brews on tap ...
- Autumn Maple by The Bruery
- Wolaver's Organic Pumpkin
- Lakefront Pumpkin Lager
- Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin
- Southern Tier Pumking
- Dogfish Head Punkin
- Brooklyn Post Road
- New Holland Ichabod Pumpkin
- Elysian Nightowl
- Dock Street The Great Pumpkin
... and they'll offer a $12 pumpkin beer flight, as well. They'll also be doling out score cards to determine which pumpkin beer is king � polish off four or more, and you'll get a free pumpkin pie baked by Charlie himself.
What's more � the kitchen will be cranking out a special pumpkin menu, including some items that'll appear on The Institute's fall menu. Food highlights after the jump.
Pumpkin Custard French Toast: Traditional flan custard flavored with pumpkin and spices, optional spiced walnuts and bourbon-maple syrup sauce
Spicey Pumpkin Plantain Soup: A rich blend of calabaza and regular pumpkin, plantains, coconut milk, and spices served with grilled bread
Stuffed Frenched Chop: Tender frenched pork chop stuffed with sweet potato and chipotle hash browns, creamy spiced pumpkin sauce and served with rosemary-garlic-cranberry fingerling taters
Pumpkin Pasta: Roasted eggplant, green and yellow squash, sweet plantains, served over pasta with spicy pumpkin-curry sauce
Pumpkin layer cake: Rich and moist pumpkin layer cake soaked with cream cheese frosting and cranberry and spiced rum sauce
This sounds like my dream come true. I might have to go to this.
