Be Local Northern Colorado announced today the first annual Bounty & Brews Farm Dinner, an event that pairs six local breweries with seven local chefs, all collaborating to create a farm-to-table beer dinner extraordinaire.
Food will be served farm to table fashion at common tables, decorated elegantly with seasonal plants and produce. This event will be hosted at Fort Collins Nursery, 2121 East Mulberry, on Oct. 27 from 5 to 10 p.m.
The dinner is an opportunity for the community to dine together and raise our glasses to local producers. Bounty & Brews is the current premiere fundraiser for Be Local Northern Colorado and their farm and food program and will help them continue to serve their mission to cultivate a living economy of independent, uniquely local businesses and farms through community advocacy, consumer education and business promotion.
Each course will be paired with a brew from a local brewery. Hors d’oeuvres will be prepared by Ace Gillets and Fish, paired with Equinox Brewery; Second Course will be provided by Gravity 1020 and Fort Collins Brewery; Third Course will be by El Monte Grill paired with Funkwerks; Fourth Course will feature a dish by Café Vino paired with a brew from New Belgium; Main Course will be presented by The Canyon Chophouse and Odell Brewing; and Dessert will feature Restaurant 415 paired with Paneros Creek.
