Winter Beer Dinner features beers from Two Brothers Brewing Company, located
just west of Chicago in Warrenville. This four-course meal is $35 per person,
excluding tax and gratuity.
The meal starts with Polpo Grigliato, grilled octopus
with fagioli gigantic, marinated sundried tomatoes and lemon vinaigrette, which
is paired with Two Brother’s Ebel’s Weiss,
a German Hefeweizen. This is followed by Polpetti Agnello, lamb meatballs
with spicy San Marzano tomato sauce, arugula and lemon. This makes an excellent
partner for the Cane & Ebel red
rye ale. The third course features Gnocchi con Pancetta, sweet potato
gnocchi with cipollini onions, pancetta and brown-butter sage. This is paired
with Resistance, an India Pale Ale.
The final course features Brasato di Bue, beer-braised beef
ribs with parsnip puree paired with Two Brother’s Northwind beer.
