Midnight Brewing at Wegmans

Thursday night, we had the pleasure of attending an amazing beer dinner collaboration between Wegmans and Midnight Brewing. The event was at Wegmans’ newest and most Southern location in Midlothian, Virginia. At our arrival, we were greeted with a house brewed shandy and hors d’oeuvres. I was glad to see both the Chef and Brewer mingling with guests. After introductions, we were seated, and the first course arrived. 

The first course of baked brie and fig jam paired beautifully with the Cairns Wee Heavy. The sweet maltiness of the brew and the sweet jam were balanced wonderfully by the phyllo wrapped brie.

The second course achieved balance with the bitter spinach, salty pancetta, and sweet house honey mustard coming together to be paired with a crisp, refreshing New Beginning Kolsch.
