Granville Island Hotel’s Dockside Restaurant Teams Up with Granville Island Brewing
for the inaugural Brewmaster’s Longtable Dinner, November 23

They’re not just neighbouring businesses on Vancouver’s popular foodie destination of Granville Island. Dockside Restaurant’s Executive Chef, Josef Driemel, and Granville Island Brewing’s Beer Sommelier, Fabricio Estacio, are collaborators — and beer lovers — coming together to create the inaugural event in an exciting new culinary series.

On Saturday, November 23, the first Brewmaster’s Longtable Dinner happens at Dockside Restaurant in the Granville Island Hotel. The four-course menu includes beer-inspired West Coast cuisine, with each course thoughtfully beer-paired with seasonal Granville Island Brewing releases. Future collaborative dinners will spotlight other BC beer, wine, and spirit producers and their offerings alongside Dockside’s globally influenced West Coast cuisine.

The Brewmaster’s Longtable Dinner begins with a Trio of Oysters and innovative accoutrements, like a mignonette made from carbonated Granville Island Brewing Lager, all paired with Granville Island Brewing False Creek Peach Sour. The opening plate is house-cured Duck Ham and Jam served with fried bread and grilled carrots, complemented with Granville Island Brewing Kitsilano Juicy IPA. The main course and dessert are playful interchanges on two iconic Granville Island Brewing beers. Beer-Braised Beef is infused by Lions Winter Ale, with creamy polenta plus kale and root vegetables and a pour of the brewery’s hearty English Bay Ale. The sweet ending incorporates the same brew in English Bay Ale Chocolate Cake served with whisky-poached fruit compôte and crème anglaise, with a Lions Winter Ale alongside.

The fun kicks off at 6:30 pm and includes surprise brewery prizing throughout the evening. Seating is limited, so hop to it! Tickets are $80 per person (plus taxes and gratuity), and available via Eventbrite, here

“This is a great opportunity for us to collaborate with our community and engage our diners in a creative way,” says Chef Driemel, who looks forward to partnering with more BC craft brewers, distillers, and winemakers on unique dining experiences in the Longtable Dinner Series.
