MEKONG RETURNS WITH SELL-OUT CRAFT BEER AND CURRY SERIES

29 November 20229 February 2018 by Connie Lambeth

BREWS AND CHEWS ‘PART TIW’ –

MEKONG ON KENSINGTON STREET – SYDNEY

It’s a classic combo like no other: rich and fragrant curries paired with the crisp, hoppy goodness of a cold beer. After the sell-out success of the first series, Mekong on Kensington Street launches round two of their Craft Beer and Curry Series, featuring Chef Tiw’s award-winning Indochine cuisine and collaborations with Sauce Brewery, Lord Nelson, Willie the Boatman and 4 Pines.

The events will take place monthly from February to June and consist of five shared courses and five paired beers. Brewers will be on hand on the night to chat through the selected beers, tasting notes and why they’ve been matched.

Each event will hero a selection of regional culinary delights, from the country’s that border the Mekong River, with cuisine from Cambodia, Vietnam, Northern Thailand and Myanmar. Think unexpected pairings like dark beer and charcoal pudding, spicy dishes with hoppy pale ale.

“Indian curries have long been paired with Indian Pale Ale due to the hoppy nature of the beer,” Chef Tiw said. “But the reality is, there are so many beer styles that can complement a curry and we want to highlight some of best in this Craft Beer and Curry Series.”

Tickets are on sale now at $95 per person. Book your ticket online before they sell-out: https://tickets.myguestlist.com/v25a57f7992ba51/craft-/beer-curry-part-2-brew-tiw/

February is the Perfect Month to Try Edenvale Non-intoxicating Wines

3 December 20228 February 2018 by Connie Lambeth

Doing something good for your body – like giving up alcohol or sugar – is never an easy feat, especially when it’s for an entire month. But when it’s for a good cause with your friends, family – and basically, the nation by your side, it hopefully won’t seem like such a daunting task. This, of course, refers to Febfast, the great Australian pause from alcohol, sugar or something of your choice for the month of February in support of disadvantaged young people aged 12-25 across the country.

Whether you’re cutting out alcohol or sugar (or both!), a great way to achieve your goal is by swapping instead of stopping – and there’s now no better time to explore the offerings within the non-alcoholic drink sector than now! In light of this, those taking part in Febfast are on the look for a delicious alternative to the usual glass of champagne – especially during times of celebrations (such as Valentine’s Day) and hot summer nights.

Satisfying this need in more ways than one is Edenvale wines. Hitting 2 birds with one stone, Edenvale wines are both non-intoxicating and have nearly half the calories of normal wine. To be more specific, the removal of 13% alcohol by volume translates to over a 60% calorie reduction. All with the delicious taste and bubbly sensation a glass of alcoholic sparkling can provide.
