Dallas Beer Snobs Dinner at Il Cane Rosso

The Architect and I will see you there tomorrow.

Clink!

For awhile now I've been wanting to have a semi-regular feature that focuses on cocktails and spirits. I've finally decided to make that a reality. The purpose of Clink! is to focus on cocktail and drinking events around Dallas and talk about what the Architect and I are drinking.

So let's get started. In the next few weeks there will be quite a few cocktail and beer events happening around town.

1. This Thursday is the Dallas Beer Snobs beer dinner at Il Cane Rosso in Deep Ellum. Spots are still available but going fast. Info here.

2. On Monday, May 2, 2011, The Cedars Social will be hosting a cocktail tasting with liquor distributor Haus Alpenz. The tasting will feature pre-prohibition cocktails made with lesser known liquors such as Crème de Violette, Dolin Vermouth’s and Velvet Falernum. Cocktails will be 4.00 each. Tasting is from 6 to 7:30pm.

3. May 13-14, 2011 is the North Texas Beer Festival at the Plano Center. There will speakers, classes, live music and of course, beer tastings.

Beer Dinner at Il Cane Rosso

Do you like a good pizza? How about a frosty pint of beer? Well, if you answered "yes" to both of those questions you better grab your place at Il Cane Rosso's first beer dinner on April 28, 2011.

My friend Tim over at Dallas Beer Snobs set up the event. The details are:

"The fine folks at Il Cane Rosso in Deep Ellum have graciously agreed to co-sponsor a special event for our beer loving fans. On Thursday, April 28th at 7:00 pm chef Matt Reddick will be serving unique dishes prepared specially to be served with a selection of beers chosen by the snobs.

There will be 4 food courses and 5 beer selections for you to enjoy. The cost will be $45/ person and you must leave your credit card number to reserve your space. We are limited to a maximun of 30 people so please make sure that you reserve early.

The theme will be spring/seasonal beers and we would like the Beer Snobs family to help make the selection. Heck, if you are going to drink it you may as well choose your poison. Please email us at dallasbeersnobs@gmail.com and tell us what you would like to be served, local if possible, but definitely seasonal and we ask that you send your choices to us by Sunday evening the 17th of April.

Please contact Stepanie Meyer at (214) 741-1188 to make your reservation."

We look forward to seeing you there!
