M'tucci's & Marble German Beer Dinner
/One only needs to look at the menu for the October 12th German Beer Pairing Dinner with Marble Brewery at M’tucci’s Italian to realize that something very special has been created. Chefs Cory Grey and Shawn Cronin along with Marble Brewmaster, Josh Trujillo, collaborated on a menu for those who love lagers and creative cuisine inspired by Germany.
“When we decided we wanted to do a German food and beer dinner, we looked around for local German-style beers for our pairings. When Josh and Marble stepped up and said that they have enough German styles to supply the entire dinner, we were thrilled,” said Company Chef Shawn.
”Admittedly, one of my favorite Marble beers is their German Pilsner, which to my knowledge has won 6 awards in worldwide judging. We all knew this was going to be amazing. Josh, aka Head Brewer/Beer Master, has an amazing food palate so every time we work together it's a blast talking about pairings.”
“Germany is a country known for beer and when you try Marble's German styles, it's hard to believe that Josh didn't grow up there. From the Marblefest to the Pilsner Burquell to the Vienna Lager, they are all really incredible and true to style,” he said.
Spend some time talking with Josh Trujillo (while sipping one of his beers) and you’ll quickly discover his passion for great food and beer - especially German/Czech/Austrian-style lagers. He said that he likes brewing and drinking those styles of beers, because they are harder to make. The technique and the balance of ingredients has to be right. You can’t hide bad technique with an abundance of hops.
“The Pilsner Burquell is our take on a traditional Czech-style pils, it’s got a quite a lot of Czech Saaz hops in it. It’s a little sweeter and more malt forward than our regular house pilsner. It’s delicious,” Trujillo said.
The second course features the classic Marble Double White Belgian beer, but with pumpkin pie spices.
“It’s really well balanced, I’m excited to taste it with the Roasted Bone Marrow Ravioli,” he said. “The Belgian yeast pushes the clove and the cinnamon spices up a little more than nutmeg and mace.”
“Vienna Lagers are a bit more maltier and toasty and ours drinks very dry and crisp. It has a big malt profile and is toasty and nutty and holds up well to fatty, caramelized meat,” he said.
Josh and the Chefs will be there to talk about the Pairings with you. Space is limited, so book your table now.
