Beer Dinner
Unleash the flavor of a Thirsty Dog!

Well, we had the "Twelve Days of Christmas Ale Showdown" and now we're "bark for more!"

Since 1997, Thirsty Dog has been meticulously hand crafting beers in small batches using the finest ingredients. High quality malted barley is the source of the beer's sweetness & body. Select American & European hops are used to balance the malt sweetness, and at times to add special flavors & aromas to the beer.

Their carefully selected ingredients, along with our specially designed recipes & brewing processes, give Thirsty Dog beers unique flavor profiles that are hard to find in today's mass-market "one size fits all" society.

Join us is welcoming owner John Najeway of Thirsty Dog back to Grovewood. We've tapped into a great selection of beers, and paired them with a fantastic menu from Grovewood's award-winning kitchen. A complimentary recipe book of the dishes served (but adapted for the home kitchen) will be presented.

Beer

Food Course

Raspberry Ale (3.9 ABV)
The inviting flavor and aroma of freshly picked raspberries is naturally infused in this unique, refreshing fruit beer. Raspberry Ale is brewed in the typical Thirsty Dog fashion, full of flavor and uninhibited.

Crisp Goat Cheese Crouton on baby mesclun greens and toasted hazelnuts, with Raspberry Ale Vinaigrette.

Hoppus Maximus (5.9 ABV)
This beer's name will not disappoint! The complex character of American hops and amber colored caramel malts make this beer very crisp and refreshing. Repeat Silver Medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup.

Aged Cheddar & Yukon Potato Soup.

Orthus Belgian Dubbel (7 ABV)
Orthus was the two-headed hell hound brother of Cerberus, the three-headed dog that guarded the gates of hell. Orthus is a Belgian Dubbel made with 7 grains, 3 hops, Trappist high gravity yeast. Very Drinkable.

Ragoût of Duck Confit and Exotic Mushrooms in puff pastry cup.
(meat free option available)

Siberian Night Imperial Stout (9.7 ABV)
Imperial Stouts are by far the "GRAND-DADDY" of all stouts. They are very, very dark and rich, with a deep-roasted, satisfying flavor. Siberian Night is made in this tradition. Creamy and full-bodied, its complex character is a result of generous amounts of roasted, toasted, and caramel malts. For those who demand flavor, this is the perfect libation. Bronze Medal winner at the 2003 Great American Beer Festival. Gold Medal winner at the 2005 Great American Beer Festival.

Stout-Braised Beef Short Rib with parsnip purée and frizzled leeks.
(meat free option available)

Old Leghumber Robust Porter (6.7 ABV)
This robust porter is dark brown in color and full bodied with a malty sweet taste. Deep roasted, yet silky smooth! Black with red hues. Two types of roasted malts, including roasted chocolate malt give this beer its award winning flavor. World Beer Cup Gold Medalist 2002 and Bronze Medalist 2000.

So, a guy walks into a bar with a dog. He claims the dog can talk. "Give me a beer and I'll show you." The bartender slides a beer to him and the man asks the dog, "Fido, what is that above our heads?" The dog says, "Roof!" The irritated bartender says, "That's not talking, he sounds like any other dog." The man says, "OK, how about this - Fido, who was the best baseball player of all time?" The dog says, "Ruth!" The bartender throws the man and the dog out of the bar. Fido says to the man, "Ya think I shouldda said DiMaggio?" Thanks-we'll be here all night! I hope you can join us!
