Greenbush Beer Dinner at LaSalle Grill

I received an email from the manager over at LaSalle Grill last week about the Greenbush Beer Dinner they are doing on May 10th, and totally forgot to post it, so here it is...

Some really incredible beers on that list, all of which I've had at one point or another, with Brother Ben, Anger and Distorter being some of my favorites. I've never actually been to LaSalle before, but I hear they have great food, wine, and are definitely taking craft beer seriously.

For all my guy readers with wives/girlfriends/whatever-you're-into, you can easily count this as date night, while enjoying some great food and beer. As Michael Scott would say, it's a win-win-win.

New Belgium Beer Dinner at Club LaSalle (South Bend, IN)

New Belgium Beer Dinner Menu

I just received a bit of information from Ben Amster of Indiana Beer regarding a beer dinner on October 13th at Club LaSalle in South Bend featuring craft beer from New Belgium Brewery.

What was the reasoning behind choosing New Belgium specifically for this event? According to Ben, the choice was simple...

"Choosing NBB was an easy choice.  There are few breweries available in our area that are as versatile in their catalog as NBB when it comes to gastronomy.  From flawlessly crafted fruity Belgian ales, to west coast hop bomb IPAs, to unique sours, to dark roasted malts, and everything in between, New Belgium’s beers cover every corner of the taste spectrum, which makes them ideal for creating a beer dinner with some real depth."

As for selecting Club LaSalle as the location for this dinner, he had nothing but great things to say about them...

"Club LaSalle is always a top choice for dinners.  They put on more beer and wine pairings than any other restaurant in the region, and have a staff that has a one minded vision of making these events spectacular.  The chefs are extremely experienced and therefore easy to work with.  More importantly, their clientele always shows up in droves for these events, because they know that they will always get something special.  This will be I believe my 7^th beer dinner with LaSalle in the last 2 years, and I think I am more excited for it than any of the previous events."

So if you are looking to have a great time in downtown South Bend on October 13th, make sure to attend! Reservations can be made by calling 574.288.1155 or visitng the Club LaSalle website.
