| Have a beer, dear. |
Saturday, Oct. 31 is the deadline for entering your best home-brewed beer into Mémé’s (2201 Spruce St.) second homebrew competition going down Nov. 3. Visit the restaurant Wednesday through Saturday between 1 and 4 p.m. with a sample of your best-home brewed offering for chef/owner David Katz to try: the top ten entries will be judged by attendees as well as beer experts George Hummel (Home Sweet Homebrew), Suzanne Woods (BeerLass) and Chris Fetfatzes (Bella Vista Beer Distributors) for a winner-takes-all prize of Best In Show.
The $25 event ticket buys samples of all the homebrews, plus plenty of beer from sponsors Sly Fox, Victory, Unibroue and Ommegang. Guest chef Joe Chmiko of Resurrection Ale House will be plating up lamb skewers, roasted cauliflower with sweet and sour onions and pan con tomate, homemade grilled bread with chorizo, tomato and manchego cheese — all items from Resurrection’s lunch/dinner menu. Host chef/owner David Katz will throw down tasty bites as well, but today is the man’s birthday and we’re not calling him on his day off.
