SATURDAY: KENTUCKY DERBY MEETS DIRTY DURHAM
(let us know if you’ll be there on Facebook!)

WOW! We launched a year ago! Let’s celebrate this Saturday in high fashion…Derm style!

While we open at noon on Saturday, the party officially runs from 4pm to 8pm.

Don your Southern finery. Wear a gaudy hat. Or bring a hat and make it gaudy…The Scrap Exchange will be here to help you accessorize. We’ll hand out prize packs for the day’s “Most Southernly” and “Best Hat!”

We’ll swing open the barrel door to connect the tavern with the fellowship hall. This means it’ll be a bit warm, so dress accordingly. We’ll have the portable eight-foot-tall Airgo to keep the air moving.

Because the celebration is too big to contain, we’re closing down Rigsbee Avenue! Don’t worry…it’ll re-open!

Food vendors:

• Farmhand Foods’ Sausage Wagon
• Backyard BBQ Pit
• Chirba Chirba Dumplings

Dos Perros, Durham
Fullsteam: Spicy Food Beer Dinner

$40 a person, does not include tax or gratuity
RSVP: 919-956-2750

Dos Perros holds a special place in our heart — it was the site of our first-ever beer dinner last year. Plus, Chef Charlie Deal is that rare bred of chef: ingenious yet super practical. We’ve learned a lot from Charlie over the past year (and many years prior, as we transitioned from vision to reality).  So it’s a huge honor to celebrate a year at Dos Perros. We hope you’ll join us.

When Charlie asked about doing a one-year dinner, I asked if he was up for a specific theme: spicy food. I’ve been wanting to do a “spicy food beer dinner” for some time now, and I knew Charlie would be game.

Now the question is…are you?

Charlie’s wax peppers, red onions, and clams in roasted corn broth
-El Toro Cream Ale

Jujube sneak attack! Stir-fried prawns and shiitake mushrooms with sweet chile-basil sauce
-Basil Farmhouse

“Mollettes” with Johnston County ham, roasted eggplant, and chipotle
-Carver Sweet Potato Lager

Herb-roasted chicken with habanero-white onion pickle
-Fullsteam Lager

Garlic-roasted Siler City Goat with olive and jalapeno-studded greens
-Hogwash Hickory-Smoked Porter

Read the Dos Perros write-up about this special beer dinner.

Let’s change that.

The Washington Duke wants YOU to see how excited they are about local beer, and they’re pulling out all stops to make for a fantastic evening. Enjoy Southern living at its finest with the music of Canyon Grass, amazing appetizers and beer from lil’ ol’ us (Fullsteam), LoneRider, Bull City Burger and Brewery, and Triangle Brewing Company. All for twenty buckaroos! Note: the Washington Duke will take $20 cash if you don’t have any buckaroos.

All on a beautiful patio overlooking an amazing golf course.

Here’s the official flyer. It’s great. Our logo went on a little diet! Now RSVP! Call 919-493-6699 to guarantee a spot!

Reserve your seat for a tasty (and local) treat.  Yum Yum Supper Club, Motorco, BOXCARR Farms, and Fullsteam are joining forces for a night to remember…a musical and culinary experience. Yum Yum Supper Club describes the night in a fine fashion:

“We’ll start the evening promptly and right with appetizers and a signature drink, while hearing stories and banjo riffs from Curtis Eller. Then we’ll have a seat for a full four-course supper with a paired brew for each course from Fullsteam. Dessert is the fourth and there’ll be a beer to go with your something sweet too. It’s a secret right now, but I can tell you the menu is utterly mouth watering.”

All this — and a few surprises — on June 18th, from 4pm-8pm at Motorco Music Hall. The menu is below. Get your tickets now! We hope to see you there!
