Day Block Brewing Company Officially Opens Monday, January 27
Sunday, January 26, 2014 at 5:41AMWe're excited to welcome our newest Mill District neighbor, Day Block Brewing Company, 1105 Washington Avenue South. They officially open tomorrow, January 27, at 3pm.
Below, Partners Chris Hahn, Jeff Hahn and Cory Williamson raise a toast, each with a glass of their favorite brew.
Last week the staff invited us to a Happy Hour preview of their beers and menu. The following are a few samples to whet your appetite.
We started with the Bacon Flight and Pickle Flight from the Snack menu. Both are based on daily selections. Each bacon cup includes a specially paired dipping sauce.
Next, we sampled three specialty pizzas, starting with Hungry Hungarian (Sour cream spread, Hungarian bacon, sausage, pickled onion, dill, ricotta):
Followed by the Taco Truck (Flank steak, radish, cilantro, pickled jalapeno, onion, cotija cheese):
... which I thought would be my favorite hands-down, but then we were introduced to the Bahn Mizza (Gochujang mayo, Vietnamese pork, scallion, pickled slaw, cilantro, maple-soy glaze) - wow!:
We finished off with cheesecake. The one we sampled was peanut butter cup, but the flavor will change daily.
With each sample, Head Brewer Paul Johnston (pictured below in the bibs) and Chef/General Manager Joe Williams (to the left of Paul), explained how to pair beer with food. They also discussed Day Block Brewing Company's philosophy on using locally-sourced ingredients.
