Peter’s Blog, Upcoming Event, March 2nd

Hi Everyone,
In light of our recent webisode posting about the Basta/Bruery Pizza/Beer Challenge, I think this announcement is very timely. Sadly, it will be more useful to those of you who live near Charlotte, NC so, if you don’t, but have friends or family in this area, please feel to tell them about it.

On Saturday, March 2nd we will be hosting a “Farm to Fork” Pizza/Beer Pairing Dinner at the new restaurant where I am a consulting partner, Pure Pizza, located at 224 7th St, in Charlotte (inside the 7th Street Public Market).

Our pizza team has created two totally original pizzas, both made with dough using spent grain from the brewery, to match with a variety of beers from one Charlotte’s newest, hottest micro-breweries, Triple C Brewery. The dinner will also include a farm to table salad (and the farmers themselves will be there to talk about their organic produce) and dessert — a specially created panna cotta (and did I mention, Triple C’s amazing beers? Yes, I know I did but we’re pretty excited about the pairings, very reminiscent of what we will be showing you in the upcoming webisodes).

It all starts at 7 PM and will also include live music and lots of fun. In other words, a one of a kind pizza party! All for $40.

For more details and to reserve a place (tickets are going fast) go to: http//purepizza.eventbrite.com .   You can also find more info at our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/PurePizza (we’d love it if you’d “like” it). Anyway, this is our first such event (we’ve only been open for 9 months) so I wanted to get out the word via this growing Pizza Quest community (I also posted this on the Craftsy.com/pizza website — we’re up to 16,500 subscribers which, I’m sure, include many of you). I’ll keep you posted in the future when I hear of similar fun pizza events. Hope you or your friends can make it!  I’ll take photos and report back after the event.
