Belgian Family Brewers’ Dinner

Posted on: August 10th, 2012

Belgium has a long history of storied family breweries that have kept traditions alive and spirits high through times both fat and lean. We’re honored to celebrate that history with Wetten Bros., importers of fine craft beers. Chef Kevin & Cicerone Elliott have created a 4-course dinner to showcase the quality and food-friendliness of Belgian Family Beers. The dinner plus beer pairings is $55, and representatives from Wetten will be on hand to discuss the beers and their history.

Course One will be a starter of sauteed green beens, wax beans and heirloom tomatoes paired with Het Anker’s Lucifer Belgian Strong Golden Ale.

For Course Two, we will be bringing you milk-soaked, fried chicken livers and peach mostarda served with Van Honsebrouk’s Bacchus Flanders Oude Bruin.

During Course Three, feast upon a grape curried duck confit, with roasted grapes and lentils tying in with Het Anker’s Gouden Carolus Classic Belgian Strong Dark Ale.

And if that wasn’t enough, Course Four should finish you off with a housemade “candy bar” assembled from dark chocolate, almond nougat vanilla cookie, and a gastrique complemented by Van Honsebrouk’s Kasteel Rouge.

Please call 773.235.2930 to make reservations for this night, and make mention that you will be joining us for the beer dinner. Act fast, space is limited!

Cask-Conditioned Prima Cider now pouring.

Posted on: January 14th, 2012

We’re lucky to be the only place in town (for now) that is pouring Illinois’ own Prima Cider. The good folks that hand-craft each batch delivered to us a key keg of cask-conditioned, dry cider that is as refreshing as all get out. Best gotten whilst the getting is good.
We also have in 750ml bottles Prima’s sparkling Brut, which keeps the dry and adds a beautiful unexpected barnyard funk. A great food cider.
-Love, O&E

The wise and sagacious epicureans at Time Out Chicago have eaten their way across the city this past year and whittled down a list of the 100 best things they stuck in their gob. Seems our fry-up, with its rich, pork-enhanced tinned beans, homemade blood pudding, & glowing farm egg, made the list. Thanks!

Nethergate Firkins Pouring

Posted on: November 6th, 2011

After a lengthy trans-Atlantic commute, the firkins of delicious Nethergate beer that we had filled specially for our establishment have arrived. Come in and enjoy a pint of Azzarat English Golden Ale with a Rasher & Egg Sandwich or a dozen briny Watch Hill Oysters with a pour of Old Growler English Porter. And, don’t worry, we ordered big.
