| New Restaurant - The Blue Monk | |
The Blue Monk is a "Gastropub" in Buffalo NY that serves good food and beer. Their name references delicious Belgian beer made for centuries by monks which is their overarching theme, but they also respect all craft beer styles. This is our second trip out to Blue Monk to do a post but unfortunately the first time their kitchen was closed, late on a Sunday, something their website doesn't mention in their hours. Oh well, the second trip out was much more successful during the dinner time hour.

In a strange coincidence, the dinner took place one day after our three-year wedding anniversary and it was a nice way to celebrate. Stranger still, the featured brewery of the pairing was Ithaca Beer Company, the same brewer that we featured in our beer selection at our wedding. The menu featured four courses and six beers. They also did two seatings, at 6pm and 8pm. We opted for the later one which was interesting. We got the impression that the kitchen and wait staff may have gotten some of the kinks worked out. Sadly, the Ithaca representative did not stay for our seating so we didn't get any nice introductions to the beer or food. Read more...
