Annual Chile & Beer Dinner

Annual Chile & Beer Dinner

 

Each year we look forward to the 70 mile trip to Tierra Vegetables where we meet brother/sister team Lee and Wayne James, tour their beautiful farm and pick through the most flavorful peppers we can get our hands on. Relying upon sustainable farming practices in an excellent climate for what has been over thirty years now, Lee and Wayne grow more than twenty varieties of chilies and sweet peppers each year. Eric Tucker and his team select the finest specimens of the harvest and create a delicious 5 course menu at the beginning of each Fall. Because we want Bell Pepper and Naga Jolokia lovers to be able to sit at the same table, we let you control the capsaicin while we quench your thirst with a delicious specialty beer pairing..

This year we are fortunate to have Master Cicerone Nicole Erny with us for the dinner! Nicole was the youngest person and first woman to become a Master Cicerone in 2011 and now she is one of only thirteen people with the certification. She will pair a range of fabulous beer with Eric's menu and will be on hand to talk beer throughout the evening.
