(WA) Seattle Beer Week: Naked City Brewery & Taphouse Collaborate with Merchant du Vin and Gainsbourg Restaurant for Dinner 5/17
Seattle, WA – It’s only a few more days till the start of Seattle Beer Week and admittedly we have fallen behind on informing you of the sheer number of events coming. For this writer the primary focus will be on the gastro and what is possible when one takes a nice ale or lager and pairs it something veggie or meaty.
Already we have spoken to you regarding Chuckanut’s Spring Dinner during SBW, but if you can’t wait that long we would like to invite you to visit Naked City this 17th as they share their kitchen and dinner table with Merchant du Vin (importer of fine ales and lagers), and the Gainsbourg French Restaurant (located down the street on Greenwood).
But rather than getting into a long explanation if food pairing 101, let me instead list what you will be missing if you don’t make a reservation NOW!

About Naked City Brewery & Taphouse
Once upon a time, there were two dudes named Donald and Don.
One as an engineer toiling away on the super computers of a local university, and the other was a supervisor managing the complex operations of a billionaire.
Both of them love their jobs, but more than their jobs they loved beer.
Each Don had a recurring dream of a magical place without a name, a place where great beers in the world flowed like Salmon le Sac at flood stage, and the fine brewing tradition of the Pacific Northwest stood proudly beside the best concoctions from far-flung breweries across Asia and Across Europe. ....
