In Monroe County:
2 Cents in Key West is hosting a very special beer dinner with Cigar City Brewing. It will be a 4-course meal paired with three limited selections from Cigar City and an original 2 Cents cocktail to round out the meal. This dinner is limited to 50 people and is $55 per person.
Check out their menu below:
- First Course - Chicken satay and lemongrass shrimp skewers with pickled cucumbers and peanut sauce. Paired with a 2 Cent cocktail
- Second Course - Green papaya salad with long beans, tomatoes and bean sprouts with a Thai chili dressing Paired with Peach White Oak IPA - 7.5%
- This beer starts as Jai Alai IPA then goes through a treatment on Dried Peaches and White Oak Spirals. The end result is a truly unique IPA with hints of Peach, Tropical Fruit, and hints of Oak.
- Third Course - Smoked duck breast soup with cellophane noodles and shitake mushroom. With Thai basil and mint Paired with Black Ash - 7%
- This Black American Lager is a collaboration with Max Lagers from Georgia. This American Black Lag is smokey and roasty, but still thin in body. The final product is then treated on Ash Wood, which leaves a distinct campfire roast flavor. While the beer comes across extra smokey, we did not use any smoked malts in the production of the beer, which makes this one time brew extra unique.
- Fourth Course - Sweetened black Thai rice pudding with coconut milk, ginger and mangoes Paired with Raspberry Wit - 5%
- This beer starts as Florida Cracker, and then is treated with several pounds of fresh Raspberries, which leads to a pink tint in the color of this beer. Very seasonable beer with hints of wheat, coriander and raspberries. There is a hint of tartness to this beer, so be prepared to pucker up!
