I don't do these things very often, but every once in awhile an event comes along that I am excited about--so if I happen to get a couple of tickets to give away, I am going to do it. Brad Gates Catering and Flat 12 Bierwerks got together with a bunch of local chefs and producers to make this event happen to benefit the City Market on Saturday, December 15th from 7:00-10:00 pm.
I love the idea of the event because as you guys probably know, I am not overly knowledgeable about beer and this seems like a fun way to try a bunch of different beers that have been paired with food. Of course, if you actually know something about beer, I assume this is going to be a fun event for you too because I'm pretty sure these chefs know what they are doing.
A couple of sample menu items are things like duck breast pancetta over white beans and stone spice from Chef Craig Baker of the Local paired with White Beard Wit; a great sounding goose confit from Regina Mehallick of R Bistro paired with Chestnuts Roasting Brown Ale; and Brad Gates is doing scallops over a salad of cod cheeks, Goose bacon, and Eden Farms lettuces paired with Glazed Ham Porter. There are a bunch of other great chefs participating as well (check it out below) and there will be live music.
If you would like to win 2 free tickets, leave a comment on this post and around 1:00 p.m. tomorrow (Wednesday the 5th), I will choose a random person to win (tickets to be picked up the night of the event). I will post the winner in the comments below tomorrow afternoon (and you'll have to give me your name and phone number to give to the event coordinators). So be sure and check back (if I don't hear back from the winner in 24 hours, I will do another random draw).
Also, if you want to buy tickets, they are on sale at each participating restaurant, by
phone at 317/445-0105 or online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/293079 .

This is great of you! I've been wanting to go to this event, but, as a broke college student with lots of Christmas presents to buy, it wouldn't even be a possibility without fun giveaways like this! ' hope I get picked :)

Beer? Food? Christmas? I'm all in!
Sounds great, we would love the tickets.
I love reading about Indy food happenings, but often I don't get to experience the wonderful restaurants here. This would be a great way to get a little sampling of it!
Sounds like a fun event! I'm the foodie and my bf is the beer lover!

Oh Yum sounds wonderful. Hubby and I would really enjoy those pairings. Chef Regina's Goose is making my mouth water and then add the Chestnuts Roasting Brown ale and I need a rag to wipe off my keyboard. LOL
I have added you to my favorite blogs.

Beer! Food! I am there!
Sounds like a really fun event in a great place.
Sounds like a fun night.
Such a fun event!
I would love to go! I love beer, and beer pairings, because you can never really know EVERYTHING about beer. That's why it's so fun to see what new beers people are coming up with!
Mmmmmm *showing up with bells on*
Looks like a night worth taking off of work!!
This sounds great.
Pick me. Randomly, of course.
This would be great! I have been going to the City Market since the 50's. I'm so happy that he market seems to be flourishing.
A great-sounding event I can't afford - sign me up for the raffle/drawing/giveaway thingy!
ha! I just need to know SOMETHING about beer.
I would love to go this event. I'm a single college student and its difficult to experience foodie events/meals on a limited budget. I look forward to devour downtown and special occasions to be able to indulge. This would be Christmas wonderfulness for me! Thanks for even offering the chance. God Bless!
this looks really awesome! - I would love to go!
I'd love to win tickets!! Sounds like so much fun!
fingers crossed! -tom
Sounds like such a great event for the Indy foodie/beer scene!!! Would LOVE to go!
This sounds so fun (and delicious!) We have a 1 year old and could use a night out like this :)
I really want the tickets, but would be pretty happy if this lady won them ;)
Hi Erin
Would love to win a pair of these!
Would love to go to this!!!
oopss...left two comments and don't know how to delete
WOW! I am so impressed by everyone's enthusiasm! The winner is...... Patrick Wright! Congratulations! Please email or DM me your phone number so I can give it to the event organizers! Thanks for playing everyone, I will continue to do giveaways for cool events like this! And I hope at least some of you that commented will go and buy tickets anyway. I would love to meet you all!
-Erin
Here's hoping I win! Would love a night out enjoying our local talent.
I would like to win. I love food and beer. I own several hundred cookbooks, read every Indy food related blog and love watching FoodTV and the food shows on the Travel Channel. Yet, I rarely cook. I am a foodie most certainly, but am more of a sideline participant or a restaurant participant than I am a kitchen foodie. I think the best reason for me to win is that I have gotten quite huskie this past year from being a foodie and have vowed to cut back on the good stuff in the coming year. This is a great way for me to close out the year of the fat foodie.
Thanks Erin.
