I have talked about how happy I am that one of my favorite Oregon breweries, Ninkasi is in Los Angeles now and not just in Seasonal Sampler Packs. I love the Oatis and Vanilla Oatis and I have a Sleigh’r in the ‘fridge awaiting the true Holiday ale season (AFTER Thanksgiving).
Further proof was a recent dinner that they held for the L.A. Beer Bloggers at the Library Alehouse. I wasn’t able to attend but the intrepid Rich Rosen was there and sent back the photographic proof……
Here is the menu: Squash meets Ninkasi
Total Domination IPA / Tricerahops Double IPA – Vegetable Curry Served in a Roasted Delicata Squash
Believer Double Red – Spice-Rubbed Chicken Roulade with Yam Puree
Sleigh’r Dark Double Alt Ale & Vanilla Oatis Oatmeal Stout – Pumpkin Panna Cotta w/ Chocolate Ganache and Oatmeal Cookie
If you haven’t had the food at Library Alehouse, it rivals the beer list is all I am going to tell you.
