NYCDAT goes "Loco for Local": Artisanal Food and Craft Beer Pairing

Herbivore? Carnivore? Locavore!
In honor of Good Beer Month*, Mary Izett and Chris Cuzme of The New York City Degustation Advisory Team go "Loco for Local" and pair a variety of local artisanal foods with local craft beers to make mouth parties of delectable bliss.

Pairings will include such local beauties as Russ & Daughters house cured bacon, Rick's Picks, Salvatore Ricotta Cheese, Mast Brothers Chocolate... as well as perhaps a couple never before seen treats. Also making a fresh appearance will be the Official Beer of Good Beer Month*, a smoke ale brewed by Sixpoint Craft Ales (to be debuted one day prior, at www.meatopia.org).

This will be held in two sessions (subject to change contingent upon interest):
Session I: 6:30pm to 7:45pm
Session II: 8:15pm to 9:30pm

NYDCAT is dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of craft beer through creative and delectable food pairing.

Mary Izett is a certified beer judge by the BJCP and currently writes for Ale Street News, is President Emeritus of The Malted Barley Appreciation Society (MBAS), and is behind the online blogsite www.mylifeoncraft.com.
