Bottle Beer Dinner Pairings & Barrel-Aged Beers coming to Encontro North Park
Exciting things are happening at Encontro North Park including Bottle Beer Dinner Pairings and some special Barrel-Aged Beers! We had the chance to sit down with the masterminds behind the bar & kitchen, manager Kyle and Chef Jason, to discuss what’s new on the menu.
Special Beers are coming to Encontro
This year, Encontro is participating in Founders Brewing Company‘s barrel-aged program. This means that periodically throughout the year, Encontro will be receiving 6 different barrel-aged specialty beers from Founders. If you follow Encontro on TapHunter, you’ll be able to see what’s currently on tap and will be the first to know when they receive these hard to find barrel-aged brews!
Bottle Beer Dinner Pairings
If you haven’t had the chance to stop by Encontro to enjoy their dinner menu, this may put them at the top of your list of places to try. Kyle and Chef Jason worked together to create a special pairing between bottle beers and their dinner menu. To no surprise, we cannot wait to try the four pairings they came up with as they sound mouthwatering!
The Pairings
- Prime Pork Chop paired with TO OL Smoke on the Porter Fire in the Rye. It’s a beautiful pairing of caramel and toffee along with smoky, peppery notes that is savory.
- Ribeye Steak & Frites paired with the Tahoe Mountain Primrose Hybrid Ale. The Primrose is an ale aged with Malbec grapes in oak barrels, so the beer is very wine-like. The body of the beer is bright with a strong influence from the Malbec grapes and it finishes crisp and dry. Pairing it with a juicy ribeye is the ultimate palate pleaser.
- Fresh Catch paired with Logsdon Organic Farmhouse Ales Seizoen. This is a wonderful Farmhouse style saison with plentiful notes of banana, clove, pepper, citrus, and a little barnyard. It pairs beautifully with the grilled albacore and rainbow carrots.
- Fried Chicken and Waffles paired with the Libertine Wild IPA. This wild fermented IPA is an explosion of flavor far different than what you would expect from a normal IPA. It is funky, floral, and hoppy, showcasing hop aroma rather than bitterness. It’s a fun pairing meant to be palate wrecking. The tastes that you’ll be experiencing with this pairing are spicy, sweet, sour, and savory or Umami.
