These events are a perfect opportunity for new King of the Hill members to get to know their head brewer, and also a great time for would-be members to enroll in the extravagant new rewards program for Iron Hill fans, introduced in late 2012. “During the winter months, we love to stay warm with full-bodied beers and rich comfort foods,” says Rutherford. “Our Fire & Ice Release Party and Brewmaster’s Dinner are perfect ways for our guests to join us and celebrate our favorite things: great food and great beer.” Fire & Ice Release Party On Friday, January 11 from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., Rutherford will host the Fire & Ice Release Party, featuring four special beers: Fire-Inspired Smoked Weizenbock, an amber-colored, full-bodied ale with banana and clove flavors and smoked character from malt smoked on beechwood chips; Fire-Inspired Rauchbier, a Bamburg, Germany-style amber lager made with beechwood smoked malt for a smoky aroma and flavor; Ice-Inspired Rasputin’s Revenge, a very special version of their full-bodied stout; and Ice- Inspired Hopsicle, a higher gravity version of an American IPA brewed entirely with pilsner malt and the Japanese hop variety Sorachi Ace, plus citrus-y and pine-y American hops. Beers will be available on a pay- as-you-go basis, and King of the Hill members will enjoy special complimentary food pairings with each beer. Brewmaster’s Dinner Then, on Tuesday, January 29 beginning at 7 p.m., Rutherford will host his Brewmaster’s Dinner, featuring five courses from Executive Sous Chef Jared Cannon, plus beer pairings with each course. For $65 per person, including beverages, tax and gratuity, guests will enjoy: Firecracker Jumbo Shrimp with sweet potato, Swiss chard and citrus butter sauce, paired with Belgian Pale Ale, a medium-bodied, copper-colored Belgian-style session ale; Rye Bread-Crusted Diver Scallops with braised oxtrail rigatoni and natural reduction, paired with Constanza, an amber-colored ale which is brewed with a significant portion of rye malt and spiced with caraway seeds that results in a bready malt center with a dry spicy finish; 21-Hour Short Rib Spring Roll with smoked plantain puree and roasted tomato salad, paired with Smoked Weizenbock, an amber-colored, full-bodied ale with banana and clove flavors and smoked character from malt smoked on beechwood chips; (Intermezzo) Berliner Weiss Sorbet with lemon, sea salt and liquid nitrogen; Petite Filet Mignon with melted gorgonzola cheese, Lyonnaise potatoes, mushroom duxelle and mocha cream, paired with Russian Imperial Stout, a full-bodied stout with complex character and wonderful balance; and Trio of Cherry Cheesecake Truffles with graham cracker, bing cherry jam and dark chocolate, paired with Funkadelic Cherry Brown Ale, a chocolate-y English-style brown ale aged on 350 pounds of dark sweet cherries, then aged in a red wine barrel with wild yeasts for one year.
