New Belgium Beer Dinner at Peter Chang China Cafe Next Week

Place Your Crazy Bet At Center of the Universe Tonight

COTU Crazy BetHead up to Center of the Universe tonight Friday April 5th as  they release their latest beer.  From the imagination of head brewer and armchair historian, Mike Killelea, COTU’s Crazy Bet Imperial Amber is named after Elizabeth Van Lew a prominent Richmond resident during the Civil War, who used her Church Hill mansion to hide escaped slaves and Union prisoners of war.

Crazy Bet has a base of English mild ale malts with different caramel malts to adding sweetness and a deep ruby color.  Hop additions in the boil include Columbus, Mount Hood, and Nugget in order to balance the bitterness and intense aromas. As a final measure, the beer is dry-hopped with Columbus and Nugget.

COTU will tap the new beer starting at 4pm.  Head over to the Facebook event for more information.

Hardywood & The Magpie Present Your Dinner This April

UPDATE: Due to timing issues, this dinner has been canceled.

In my few trips to The Magpie, I have become very impressed with Chef Owen Lane’s food.  I’m really intrigued by this beer dinner menu he has put together with Hardywood on Tuesday April 9th at 6pm.  I’ve been afraid of trying sweetbreads before but the General Tso’s preparation should add a familiarity for the uninitiated.  Oh and a Hardywood tripel? Yes, please!

Magpie Hardywood Beer Dinner 040913

The cost for the dinner is $70/person plus tax and gratuity. Call The Magpie at (804) 269-0023 to make your reservations now.
