This Eugene Beer Week beergarden celebrates 8 years and is excited to be working with Alesong Brewing & Blending on a week long Pairing and Tasting event.
Our beergarden beer buyer, Brianna Gordon, as been working with Alesong on this event since last year. When Alesong founder, Matt Van Wyk, suggested doing a Pairing and Tasting event, everyone was all about it!
6 Alesong brews were chosen- one for each of the food carts at beergarden, and we called a tasting meeting to start putting it together. The food vendors chose their pairing beers, and we cannot wait to see what each of them comes up with.
Pizza Alta will be pairing their Sausage, Gruyere, Broccolini with olive oil base pizza with Alesong’s Maestro, an English-Style Barleywine Aged in freshly-emptied Heaven Hill bourbon barrels
Coco Loco will be pairing their Bacon loaded fries and homemade flan with Alesong’s Senior Rhino, a decadent imperial milk stout inspired by the flavors of a Mexican hot chocolate
Lani Moku Grill will be pairing their Lani Burger topped with brown butter miso aioli, caramelized onion, crunchy lettuce and tsukemono with the Alesong / BG Anniversary Collaboration ale, the BG Bramble, a gin barrel-aged blackberry sour
Nosh will be pairing their Hummus plate with prosciutto and cheese with Alesong’s Rolling Mist, a dark farmhouse ale aged on spruce tip
Moi Poki will be pairing their Lobster Poke Bomb (lobster, bacon, avocado) with Alesong’s Valley Preserves, a jammy sour ale
