You may or may not be surprised to learn that beer and bacon rank highly on the favorite things list of many a DMC employee. So when we heard that Paddy Long's, a Lakeview neighborhood pub, hosts a regular Beer and Bacon Tasting, we booked a DMC social outing.
Nearly twenty DMC employees and friends enjoyed the tasting of five cuts of bacon paired with five beers. The entire offering was delicious, but our table's favorites were the smoky Danish bacon and the brown sugar dessert bacon. It was also interesting to see how the beers were paired. For example, the citrusy, hoppy Lagunitas IPA was perfect for washing down the spice of the pepper bacon.
The beer pairings change seasonally, so even if you've already attended this event you have five new reasons to bring home the bacon. If you're interested in attending with DMC let us know...something tells me we haven't had our fill.
