Freaktoberfest
At Bobbique
October
20, 2008 – Patchogue, NY. Eric Rifkin, award-winning
chef and restaurateur announced last week that his restaurant,
Bobbique, would team up with GreatBrewers.Com and the
Shmaltz Brewing Company to host a freak show themed dinner
and beer tasting event on Tuesday, October 28th, 2008
at 6:30pm. Bobbique is located at 70 West Main Street
in Patchogue, NY.
Lager
freaks and beer geeks will step right up and witness both
the Shmaltz Brewing Company’s new line of Coney
Island Craft Lagers™ and a selection of the Shmaltz
Brewing Company’s signature beers paired with a
5-course tasting menu prepared by Chef Rifkin. The exhibition
of rarities will include the flagship brew and main attraction,
Coney Island Freaktoberfest, plus other sideshow attractions
including the He'brew Genesis Ale, He'brew Rejewvenator,
He'brew Lenny's RIPA, and the newly released
Albino Python, a seasonal white lager brewed with spices.
“With Halloween just around the corner and the release
of the Shmaltz Brewing Company’s Coney Island Lagers,
I couldn’t think of a better time to host this event,”
said Rifkin. “Of all the dinners we’ve hosted
as part of our monthly brewmaster dinner series, this
will definitely be the most entertaining. Attendees will
enjoy great beer paired with great food and unique entertainment,”
he added.
In the center ring, Chef Rifkin will be preparing a tasting
menu including traditional matzo ball soup, crispy pumpkin
ravioli with pulled pork, smoked shrimp caesar salad,
a beef St. Louis and babyback rib sampler, and a
red velvet cup cake will complete the menu. Each of Rifkin’s
creations will be married with a beer from Shmaltz to
deliver spot-on pairings and pure gastronomic amusement.
The Sword Swallower steel hop lager will be offered with
a variety of treats during the pre-event reception. The
freak show amusements featuring Donnie “the human
blockhead” Vomit will continue all night long and
guests are encouraged to stay and be freakishly amazed.
Just
like the freak show tents of yore, seating is limited
and reservations are strongly recommended. The evening
begins at 6:30 pm with a delicious lineup of hand-passed
appetizers. Starting promptly at 7:00 pm, the lagers will
be paired with a five-course tasting menu sure to showcase
Chef Rifkin’s extraordinary talents. Tickets are
$45 each and are inclusive of tax and gratuity. Bobbique
is located at 70 West Main Street in Patchogue, NY. For
