At Tangled Roots Brewing Company, they aim to provide each of our guests with a special craft beer experience. The Art Behind the Craft offers a once in a lifetime immersive experience for you and up to 9 guests to enjoy a hand crafted, customized experience. A Tangled Roots Executive Chef will work with you to create a beer dinner at an approved location of the winner’s choice. The guest will work with the Tangled Roots culinary and brewery team to design the entire menu and beer pairings. This will involve the winner coming on-site to The Lone Buffalo in Ottawa ahead of the dinner to create the menu with the executive chef, work with the brewer to sample beers and to learn what beer pairs best with each dish. The dinner will involve the chef preparing the food on-site and walking the host and guests through a coursed dinner and beer pairing event, explaining why the host chose each course and why it is paired with the beer while learning how the flavors complement one another. Tangled Roots Brewing Company looks forward to providing you with this experience.
