Heavy Seas Beer Expo set in Bethany Beach Feb. 19
Bethany Blues in Bethany Beach is known for hosting innovative pairing dinners. From its scotch whiskey-centered dinner to bourbon dinners and beer pairings, Director of Operations Zach Warner knows a lot about food and beverage parings that work together to enhance the dining experience. As a riff on those already successful ventures, Warner is rolling out a beer expo featuring Heavy Seas brewery that welcomes a new format with a casual twist. The Heavy Seas Beer Expo is set 6 to 9 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 19.
The beer expo at the Bethany location will feature a laid-back atmosphere and lots of food stations that each have a paired beer option. The beers are not only being served alongside the food selections, but they are incorporated in the food preparation as well. This adds a playful element to the expo, and gives guests a little something extra to help broaden their palates. Making the menus is half the fun for events like this, and Warner works closely with the staff to achieve a culinary vision that marries well with the beverages of choice.
The five stations include burger sliders with beer-battered onion rings, tacos with beer-braised chicken, street corn, homemade pretzels with beer cheese, and for dessert, a s'mores station. Each dish has a signature beer paired with it, and they are covering the map from creamy stouts to lighter golden beers. The stations give a laid-back vibe to the event, and everyone can come and pace themselves and enjoy the casual ambiance of Bethany Blues.
Tickets can be purchased for $50 and include everything needed to have a great time. Only 50 tickets are available for the event. To purchase, go to www.bethanyblues.com or call 302-537-1500.
