Small bites, small pours, and big winners!
Six Tucson chefs are set to square off during this year’s Taps & Tapa’s beer pairing event at Button Brew House, 6800 North Camino Martin #160.
It’s all going down on Saturday, March 22 at 3 p.m. Six chefs will prepare tapas paired with six of Button Brew House’s beers, and then at 5:30 p.m., folks can cast their votes before the winners are announced at 6 p.m.
“Bringing together local businesses, food lovers, and craft beer enthusiasts is what makes our culinary community so special,” said Josh Bishop, owner at Fork & Fire Smoke House & Taproom. “We’re thrilled to stand alongside other talented chefs and share a dish that embodies the heart of Arizona’s food scene.”
To share a little sneak peek of what to expect from Fork & Fire — just one of the six local competitors — they’re serving burnt ends and shrimp with a whiskey barbecue sauce, which will be paired with Button’s Tucson Traveller American blonde ale.
“The barbecue sauce features whiskey from Tucson’s own Whiskey Del Bac Distillery, ensuring that every bite celebrates the best of our region,” Bishop added.
A panel of judges will also determine winners, with categories including Judges’ Choice and People’s Choice.
Tickets are $45 per person (only 50 are available). That grants you one vote, six tapas, and six five-ounce beers.
Reminder: Only 50 tickets are available for this event (buy ’em soon).
