I think DC had two DC Beer Weeks last year. And I think that confusion rolled in to this year but there were a ton of events throughout this week but that is a good thing. Ben joined Teri and I for this brunch at Pizzeria Paradiso in Dupont. Ben had a tight schedule with a flight right after brunch. This brunch had a mix of breweries rather than featuring just one. The menu...
Hot Pepper Jelly & Peach Goat Cheese Crostini
w/ local peaches & thick cut bacon
Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin'
Coddled Egg w/ Roasted Local Summer Squash
w/ roasted local carrots, radishes & Asparagus in an ale hollandaise
Kiuchi Hitachino Nest Nipponia Ancient Ale
Local Soft Shell Crab, Heirloom Tomato, Roasted Corn Pizza
BFM La Douze
Coconut Rice Pudding w/ Toasted Coconut & Lime Shavings
Three Floyds Stay In School
Dark Chocolate Pecan Coffee Cake
w/ Maple Ice Cream
Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout
The crostini was decent. I'm a fan of Little Sumpin' Sumpin'. The Nipponia Ancient Ale was brewed with a malt that came from three seeds from some ancient seed bank. It also had that familiar sorachi ace hop taste. The La Douze was brewed with flowers of salt of Guerande from Switzerland. It had a salty aftertaste. The Three Floyds Stay In School was strong at 10%. And the Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout of course had a big coffee taste that I'm not found of. Ben had to eat the last course quick and boogie. I'm not a fan of coconut or coffee. Not a bad way to start a Sunday though.
