This year we’re adding to our annual calendar of events with an autumnal feast to celebrate the equinox, the turning of the seasons and our love of great beer.
Back in 2015, when we ran the Leytonstone Brewhouse and Kitchen, a tiny supper club from our East London home, our events were almost as much about the beer as the food. So, in homage to those previous events, this September’s supper club is very much inspired by the beer we’ll be brewing to match with the food, and of course, the bountiful vegetables we’ll be harvesting from the garden.
For the menu, we’re taking inspiration from the Oktoberfest celebrations in Germany – which despite the name happen mostly in September – and the renaissance of craft brewing in the U.S. Think BBQed sausages, pretzels, mustard, pickles, mushrooms, beets, plums, apples, cinnamon and a bit of zingy feta, avocado and lemon to lighten everything up!
We’ll begin the evening with a beery cocktail and some tasty snacks and finish the night (weather permitting) all gathered around our fire pit with a mint tea and German biscuits.
