Snowbound Pair and Share Event
December 15th, 2008 (Mon)
Left Hand Brewing Tasting Room
Longmont, CO
It's that time to spark your stove, turn on your blender, and drink a beer is here again and Left Hand wants you to make a dish. Every year they do a series of beer and food pairing competitions that not only make for some very happy bartenders, but also make for some delicious recipes for everyone to enjoy. This month they're offering their Snowbound Winter Ale as the inspiration for their Pair and Share event. All you need to do is enjoy a Snowbound Ale, come up with a recipe that either includes the beer or pairs nicely with the Snowbound, and bring in the dish to the Left Hand Tasting Room with at least 10 small servings on Monday, December 15th. All entries need to be submitted by 6:00pm. First, second, and third place get beer to take home, and everyone has a good time.  Web site.
