As most beer hunters know (in truth there can be only one) and most oenophiles would agree, Belgian and Belgian-style beers are among the most complex and perfectly-paired ales in the world. For a real Belgian-inspired epicurean treat head to Fire Works Pizza in Arlington for their Ommegang beer dinner on Tuesday, May 24th at 7:00 P.M. Chef Frank Mayo has crafted a menu tailored for several exciting offerings from Brewery Ommegang.
Tickets are $75 (gratuity included) and this entitles you to 6 beers and 5 courses. To make a reservation via email, contact courthouse@fireworkspizza.com or call them at (703) 527-8700. This meal should be a great introduction to anyone straddling the craft beer fence. The offerings and pairings are as follows:
First Course: BPA – Mussels with BPA-Garlic Broth and Pommes Frites
Second Course: Hennepin – Caramelized Apple, Maytag Blue, Pancetta and Candied Walnut Pizza
Third Course: Rare Vos – Lobster on Corn Bread and Shitake Mushroom-Chive Cream
