Bethany Blues bourbon dinner set April 10

Enjoying bourbon is one of the cornerstones of the Bethany Blues philosophy, and they are always aiming to bring their customers exciting experiences to sample new bourbon. The chefs at the Bethany location are preparing a culinary adventure where high-end barbecue meets smoky bourbon for a coursed bourbon dinner for 12 from 6 to 9 p.m., Tuesday, April 10. 

“This menu showcases culinary ability and features bourbon paired perfectly with each course,” said Tiffany Cordeaux, event coordinator for the Bethany Beach location. Pairing bourbon with meals, she explains, is different from pairing other alcohol in that it’s meant to be a complementary partnership. “Bourbon packs a punch, and so we match that in the cooking with bold flavors that stand up to some of our smoothest whiskeys.”

The experience of a bourbon dinner is perfect for those well-versed in bourbon as well as novices, and everyone in between. Each dish will feature bourbon in both the culinary aspect and the hand pour. With five succulent courses, beginning with a charcuterie board and moving to an oyster truffle chowder and on to courses featuring duck and pork shank, the evening is crafted with every detail in mind.

Those who come to dine that evening will be treated to an exclusive selection of top-shelf whiskey and bourbon from the private collection. Many of the dinners have featured the elusive Pappy Van Winkle, a coveted bourbon, as well as hard-to-find Japanese whiskeys and many more. Diners get to make their selections for each course, and can jot down notes on their favorites throughout the meal.

A total of 12 tickets are available for $165 each (gratuity included). For more information or to purchase entry to this exclusive culinary experience, go to www.bethanyblues.com and click on the store section to purchase tickets.
