This week DiBrunos hosts Lancaster Brewing Company, right out of Amish country. Their Milk Stout and Amish Four Grain look particularly interesting, but mostly I’m curious to see what the cheesemongers pull out of the cave. Two weeks ago, I sampled a wedge of peanutty Red Hawk and a gulp of Troegs chocolate stout, and I went weak – weak, I tell you – in the knees. The combination tasted like a boozy Snickers bar. Last Wednesday, I melted for some perfect Taleggio, paired with Iron Hill Pilsner.
If the tasting whets your whistle, head down to the Royal Tavern for a smoked-gouda burger, and if you find youself eying the truffled popcorn – go for it. It’s perfectly salted, lightly buttered, and wickedly truffley. Confession: for two days, I ate it for breakfast.
I can't wait to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI must start attending these tastings! I love the tastes of Lancaster Brewing Co. and have visited their brewpub/brewing company several times -- great group of people.
ReplyDeleteWhile not necessarily a fan of beer I am definitely a fan of a Snicker's bar (a boozy one can only be better!) I also love the truffle popcorn and make it at home all the time - black jewel popcorn, butter and black truffle salt - delicious!!! Thanks for sharing:)
