The next installment in the Canadian Beer News Dinner Series is set for this Friday, April 27th at 6:30 PM, and it promises to be a fantastic night of amazing food and beer.
The dinner will feature a selection of outstanding international beers from importers Roland + Russell paired with the stunning Canadian cuisine of Victor Barry, co-owner and Chef de Cuisine of Splendido (88 Harbord Street, Toronto), one of Canada’s most celebrated and acclaimed restaurants.
Amongst the eight beers being poured to match the canapé reception and six courses will be several rare and exclusive offerings, including the Ontario debut of Hitachino Nest XH, a Belgian-style ale from Japan that has been aged for three months in sake barrels; and an exclusive appearance by De Struise Double Black, a monstrous imperial stout from Belgium that is so rare only a single case was shipped to Canada.
Only 24 seats are available for this landmark event, so those interested in attending are encouraged to act quickly to avoid disappointment. Tickets are $150 per person (plus taxes and 18% pre-tax gratuity), and can be reserved by calling Splendido at 416.929.7788.
The full menu and other details are available after the jump.
