Up to 10 beer savvy chefs compete to make up to 20 custom paired epicurean delights with 20 award-winning beers
While the event is sometimes referred to as “Iron Chef” meets beer, participating chefs have no secret ingredient. Chef’s are provided with sample bottles of beer to taste and develop their custom paired dishes.
On event day, the participating chefs will create custom paired dishes, served in appetizer portions and staff will pour beer samples alongside the chef’s food table.
A panel of food and wine critics/experts will taste each culinary creation with its assigned beer. They select the “Best Chef” and “Most Creative Chef” winners.
All consumer attendees also get to cast their votes for the “People’s Choice” award.
Tickets are $75 at www.denverbeercomp.com/taste.html.
