Welcome to the Great Beer State Reception and Dinner.
This evening of camaraderie accompanied by delicious beer and
food pairings has become a wonderful tradition of our
Winter Conference. We are proud to showcase so many
delicious beers made by you, the talented breweries of
The Great Beer State, Michigan. The range of flavor and style
is nothing short of amazing, which makes for abundant
pairing opportunities. The menu features 42 beers from
31 different breweries and more than 16 dishes.
Both the menu and the room are organized by flavor.
You’ll find five stations, four of which represent a flavor family
found in beer. These four stations feature four dishes a piece,
each intentionally paired with two beers per dish, however
you’re welcome to mix and match as you please. The fifth station
is a collection of salads, cheeses and other snacks with several
delicious beers and less specific pairings. Whether you get a glass
of beer to try with several dishes, or you make several trips to try
each individual pairing, we’re sure you’ll find a lot to love.
This flavorful evening is made possible by the ambitious effort of
the Radisson’s talented Culinary and Event teams, featuring
Chef John Mendles, Jake Buehl, Derek Nadeau, Lindsay Davies and
Jessie Buehl, and the guidance of The Beervangelist, Fred Bueltmann.
