Founded in only 1985, Sprecher Brewery was a very cool place to visit. At the conclusion of a brewery tour, it was especially neat to experience a Reserve Tasting. At this gatherin, we tasted ten beers all paired with cheese. Who would have thought that in the same manner cheeses get paired with wine, pairing them with beer would yield the same results.
After our meal, as an exclusive food-blogger dinner opportunity, we received a tour of the roof-top garden and beehives where Chef Kevin tends to his own crop of ingredients. It was quite awesome to eat an impressively assembled meal and then say "oh, here is where he grew the tomatoes that went into that dish."
