AlwaysPartying: Brooklyn Cheese Experiment
Arthur Bovino — September 14, 2009
Pete Taylor, Josh Knowlton & Billy Denniston of Propeller Pale Ale, unanimous homebrew winners.
On Sunday at the Bell House (view site) in Park Slope, Brooklyn, amateur cooks and homebrewers battled to see whose cheese-based dishes and beers would take top prize at the Brooklyn Cheese Experiment. The well-attended and much-photographed event was sponsored by Murray’s Cheese Shop, the Vermont Cheese Society and Council and Sixpoint Craft Ales and presented by thefoodexperiments.com hosts, Theo Peck and Nick Suarez. It featured 17 cooks and 8 teams of homebrewers who were competing for cash prizes and gift certificates to Brooklyn Brew Shop, Brooklyn Homebrew and Whisk. A portion of the ticket sales were being donated for ovarian cancer research.
A judging panel included: Bon Appétit’s restaurant editor, Andrew Knowlton; Taylor Cocalis, the director of Education at Murray’s; the Vermont Butter and Cheese Company’s Adeline Druart; Chanterelle’s fromager, Adrian Murciathe; and the brewers of Sixpoint Craft Ales. They awarded top three categories for best food and beer. Audience members also voted on their top three favorites. Alyssa Lees’ cheese puff was given special distinction and awarded her two tickets to a show at the Bell House.
AlwaysInformed: Bacon & Beer Tasting
September 08, 2008
With Josh Ozersky (aka Mr. Cutlets) on a brief hiatus before he kicks things up over at CitySearch, what better way to celebrate his free time than with a Beer & Bacon tasting over at Jimmy’s No. 43. Hardly a stranger to bacon, Cutlets has MC’ed the event a few times before, and there couldn’t be a better Meat-Master of Ceremonies to guide you through the deliciousness that is smoked pork belly. Whether you sit at 6:30 p.m. or 8:30 p.m., you’re guaranteed one swine-tacular experience and some chilly brews to wash it all down.
