From Roger Baylor's blog, here is an announcement about a beer dinner they are doing this Thursday. We have a wine tasting the same night, so feel free to stop in The Keg, and then head down the street for one of the best bargains I've seen in a beer dinner:
Trevor, Tish and I have been working on this one for a while. The idea is to pair cold-weather, winter-themed beers with a hearty menu conceived by Jerome Pope, Stratto’s chef.
Yesterday’s advertisement in the Tribune featured my name in a ridiculously oversized font (am I obliged to provide comic patter, soft shoe and perhaps karaoke to justify the billing and my comp?), but more importantly, it quoted a price for all this of only $20 per person!
Folks, that’s a steal. Call Stratto's for reservations at (812) 945-3496. The restaurant is located at 318 W. Lewis & Clark Parkway, Clarksville.
I’m off to practice my warbling … I think some Bobby Darin would slay them.
Meanwhile, here’s the menu and pairings.
