The Savory Grain Is Making Me Hungry With Their Virginia Craft Beer Month Photos
Apparently, we are all missing out on what Savory Grain has been cooking for Virginia Craft Beer Month. Yesterday, they posted this Instagram of their menu board as they welcomed Blue Mountain Brewery for the night.
Both items sounded delicious but unfortunately I could not make it. Maybe I should have moved heaven & earth so I could have enjoyed this Blue Mountain Summer Haze Marinated Grilled Boar.
Scanning through the rest of the Instagram feed, I found they had two tasty dishes feature Legend Brewing on a day I almost made it to.
Legend Locomotive Lager Marinated Pork Chop
Legend Brown Battered Red Fish topped with a Cajun Creme Fraiche
Tonight, Wednesday August 14th, Savory Grain is hosting Strangeways Brewing for a tap takeover starting at 5pm. I’m anxious to see what they will come up for the menu tonight. Who’s with me?

Pre-Game Virginia Craft Beer Month At Strangeways Compendium of Curiosities
Virginia Craft Beer Month officially starts tomorrow Thursday August 1st but you can get your party on with Strangeways’ Compendium of Curiosities tonight.
The compendium is all new tonight and includes:
I. MONKEY PICKED WALLONIAN DAWN HONEY SAISON: We have to start by saying that this is not a joke. Growing on some of the steepest mountains in the world are the highly sought after Golden Oolong tea leaves (used in this Imperial Reserve blend), which are infused delicately into this one of a kind creation. It is so dangerous to procure these leaves that man requires the aid of only the most talented and agile of climbers…monkeys that have been carefully trained by Buddhist monks. We do not recommend A.F.M. to make this scintillating climb unless he has only been drinking our Super Session-able Saison. A perfect match!
II. CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY WOODBOOGER BELGIAN BROWN ALE: Emperor’s Chocolate Elixir provides subtle hints of dark chocolate which are then accentuated with luscious red raspberries and interwoven in the deep textures of our complex Belgian Brown Ale. Liquid dessert!
III. SAMURAI CHAI MIXOLYDIAN RAG RYE BOCK: A unique Japanese tea is formed by blending roasted and popped rice with an amazing green sencha. Then a healthy addition of fresh ground chai spices is made. The result is a nutty infusion with a bit of spice to add to the slightly smoky Rye Bock base. Prost meets Kanpai!
The beers will be tapped at 4pm. Head over to the Facebook event for more details.
