Scottish chef patron Adam Handling will be creating a special beer menu at his restaurant, Frog, in Covent Garden, on Saturday, 9th October, matched to five of Innis & Gunn’s beers. These will include the flagship, single malt whisky cask matured The Original, at 6.6% ABV, Caribbean Rum Cask (6.8% ABV), Lager Beer (4.6% ABV), Vanishing Point Stout ’05 (11% ABV), and new Cherry Kriek (6% abv), made with locally sourced cherries.
Other special tasting menus — each for one day only — will be on offer at the re-opened Wright Bros, in South Kensington (27th October), the new The Broadcaster, at White City (28th October), e&o, in Notting Hill (28th October), and Bombay Brasserie, in Gloucester Road (30th October). The latter’s ten-dish beer-paired experience has been curated by executive chef Sriram Aylur, a recipient of the Parliamentary Beer Group’s beer drinker of the year accolade.
Innis & Gunn will also host a restaurant hopping tour of several Notting Hill restaurants on the evening of Tuesday, 26th October, which will include The Shed (British), Haya (Mediterranean/Israeli), and Hafez (Persian).
Innis & Gunn’s founder and master brewer, Dougal Gunn Sharp, said: “I am eagerly anticipating the pairing of our beers with such an amazing mix of cuisines at this year’s London Restaurant Festival. Right from its foundation in 2003, Innis & Gunn has been known as an excellent beer for food, as well as being a notable beer for wine or whisky lovers.
“The maturation of our beers in whisky and rum casks makes them ideal for taking so many foods to another level. It is totally right for Innis & Gunn to be partnering with the festival and its inspired series of participating restaurants in 2021.”
