July Beer Dinner! Featuring Kurlbaum Heirloom Tomatoes

Our next beer dinner is just around the corner! This month, it's our five-course "You Say Tomato. . ." dinner, featuring heirloom tomatoes from Kurlbaum Tomato Farm (check them out on Facebook at www.facebook.com/kurlbaumtomato or on Twitter at twitter.com/kurlbaumtomato). My mouth is already watering, just looking at this menu.  Let's take a closer look at what we'll be serving -

The name in the bold red text is the variety of tomato, followed by the dish, then the beer in the purple-ish color

It's hard for me to predict a favorite right now.  I think the P.B.L.H.T. has a strong chance (pretty sure that translates to Pork Belly, Lettuce, Heirloom Tomato), but I do love scallops, especially if they're paired with a lobster cream.  And lump crab?  Or braised beef toast with a smoked marrow emulsion?  Let's not forget about dessert, either.  I'm very intrigued by the use of tomatoes for dessert; after the use of garlic and peppercorn in the last beer dinner, I'm definitely on board with savory desserts.

As for the beers, well, they're all pretty dang good.  I think Nebraska's Apricot au Poive may be my favorite, but it's actually been a while since I've had most of the others.  This will be a great chance to catch up with old friends.
