Tuesday night in Philadelphia, I was fortunate to get an invitation from Tom Peters to attend his Lambic Dinner at Monk’s Cafe. The dinner included three of the best lambic brewers from Belgium: Frank Boon, from Brouwerij Boon; Armand Debelder, from Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen; and Jean Van Roy, from Brasserie Cantillon. It was an awesome dinner with some just spectacular beers.

It was an eight course beer dinner prepared by guest chef Brian Morin, who cooks at the beer bistro in Toronto, Canada.

That must have been one fantastic evening! Never mind the beer and food, great as it must have been, just to have that kind of company around the same table…
This was one event I really would have killed to attend. Sadly I could not. Thanks for the pictures. I can at least experience it vicariously.
