This HAS NOT been nailed down, but here's the tentative menu for the UMMO '06. It will be a south-west, Tex-Mex theme. Seats are limited. This will sell out. Sign up here: http://www.mnbrewers.com/events/mashout/beerbanquet.htm ----- Original Message ----- A Texas Chili Bar Beef and Pork Chili with all the fixings, including Lime Wedges, Shredded Cheese, Diced Peppers, Onions, Jalapenos, and a nice basket of Beer and Cheese Corn Muffins Smoked Carolina Pork Butt with Beer Mop Hickory Smoked Pork cooked until it falls off the bone, mopped with a Vinegar and Beer style mop, served over Beer Herb dinner rolls (like a mini shredded Pork sandwich for those who chose to make it so) we would offer a Slaw, probably creamy although a traditional Carolina Slaw is more vinegary, than we would have a few other "Midwestern-Style" Bar-b-que sauces available at the table as well. Traditional Chicken Mole Poblano Braised Chicken in a dark/spicy ale or beer with onions, peppers, and tomatoes, finished with bitter sweet chocolate, and peanut butter. Garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds, this dish would set up well next to some Mexi-style Rice prepared Pilaf style. Chipotle Marinated Beef Pot Roast with Mexican Vegetables, including Choyte Squash, Potatoes, Carrots and Onions, all stew cut. Served with Corn and/or Flour Tortillas Dessert Table: Pecan Diamonds, Chocolate Decadence, Beer Cheese Cake, and a Bread Pudding with either a beer sauce, or beer in the custard. All dishes would be made with beer, what kind or whose I'm not sure, but we will make it work whatever we get.
