Austin Brewed James Beard House Dinner
The team from The Brewer’s Table is coming to New York to cook at the famed James Beard House on Wednesday, June 20th. On the heels of opening in East Austin,TX, Executive Chef Zach Hunter and Head Brewer Drew Durish have planned a menu for the event which showcases The Brewer’s Table’s penchant for cross collaborating in the kitchen and brewery all the while, giving beer a “proper seat at the table.”
At The Brewer’s Table, the idea that beer is food is evident throughout the ideas and processes of Hunter’s menu, as well as his collaboration with Durish. The intertwining ingredients, flavors, and processes in brewing and cooking will also be a thru-line for Austin Brewed dinner at the James Beard House. Guests at the NYC event will be treated to a taste of Durish’s newly ready house lagers. Durish’s six house lagers, all of which will be showcased at the dinner, are fermented in American oak foeders.
