Beers

Lindeman’s Lambic Cassis (Belgium) 8.
A Lambic made from local barley, unmalted wheat, and wild yeast. After spontaneous fermentation the Lambic is aged in oak. Black currants are added creating a secondary fermentation and yielding ale of exceptional flavor and complexity.
Food Pairing: Pork, scones, cheesecake, and fresh fruit.

Corsendonk Abbey, Pale Ale (Belgium) 6.
Dry, with a great deal of finesse. A deceptively potent ale in the tradition of Belgium’s Trappist monks, this beer has living yeast in the bottle, a clean palate, beginning with a dry, lightly citric fruitiness, and finishing with a distinctive and delicate, perfumed, hop character.
Food Pairing: Salmon cakes, Turkey Pot Pie, Roast Chicken, Lamb Pies, Gravlax

Saison Dupont Vieille Provision 25 oz (Belgium) 12.
Brewed at one of Europe’s last farmhouse breweries, this bright clean ale in the Saison style has a dry refreshing body.

Mother’s Milk, Keegan Ales (New York) 4.
