From Bell’s Brewery:
COMSTOCK, MICHIGAN – On May 9 and 10, Bell’s Brewery, Inc. will be one of 76 small and independent craft breweries represented at SAVOR: An American Craft Beer & Food Experience. Presented by the Brewers Association and in its seventh year, SAVOR is the premier beer and food pairing event in the U.S.
SAVOR returns to the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. following its New York City debut in 2013. As in past years, each brewery will pour two of its craft beers, accompanied by a reception-style sampling of sweet and savory small plates designed by Brewers Association culinary consultant Adam Dulye, chef/owner of The Monk’s Kettle and The Abbot’s Cellar in San Francisco.
“We are bringing two unique and relatively new beers that have never been poured outside of Kalamazoo. Chef Dulye has created some very exciting and interesting pairings to go with each and we’re looking forward to trying both,” said Laura Bell, Vice President of Bell’s Brewery, Inc.
“SAVOR provides a world-class and unparalleled atmosphere where small and independent craft brewers showcase their flavorful beers alongside a menu of strategic pairings,” said Julia Herz, craft beer program director at the Brewers Association. “Attendees also have the unique opportunity of being personally served by the visionaries behind the brands.”
During SAVOR, Bell’s will be serving Boon Companion, an ale with resinous and tangerine hop notes along with lemon verbena, paired withcured salmon with lardo butter and powdered lemon.
This beer has palate magic written all over it. With so much going on from the beer, take a moment and allow the salmon to hold it all for just a bit longer, noted Chef Dulye.
Bear Hug, a hop-forward Imperial Stout, paired with foie gras with lingonberries, will also be served.
The gentle sweetness in this Imperial Stout lets the lingonberry shine and the dark roast flavors cleanse the foie gras off the palate, Dulye also noted.
