Ngon Feature Beer, and a tease

Ngon Bistro’s current feature beer is Mummy Train Ale from Flat Earth. A pumpkin beer, this is brewed with over 30 lbs of pumpkin and spices.

Apparently, since I wasn’t able to verify for myself, Ngon’s 3 course beer and wine tasting was popular enough last weekend to deserve an encore. They’ll be announcing this weekend’s menu on Friday after they visit the farmer’s market and see what tickles their fancy.

The Blue Door Turns 1

The Blue Door Pub marks its first anniversary this week and as if there weren’t already more reasons than you could count to stop by, they’re really rolling out the red carpet this week. Check it out!

This Friday, September 25th marks our 1 Year Anniversary!
We’ve had an amazing time with an amazing group of neighbors and patrons and we want to express our thankfulness and gratitude. Beginning Monday, September 21st through our anniversary, we are offering these great deals:

Monday and Tuesday: Our Late Night Happy Hour lasts all day! This means whole orders of fries and tots are only $2, our deep fried pickles and beer-battered green beans are just $3.50, and our wings, all pound-and-a-half of them, are $5.50! Plus, all tap beers and all glasses of wine are $3 each!

Wednesday: Today only, we’re offering the Granny Apple Bliss Blucy! The fall harvest has been picked so we reached deep into our suggestion box to find this tremendous idea originally submitted by Bruce Becker during our last Blucy Of the Moment competition. We stuff silky smooth brie cheese in the middle of our burger and top it off with a sweet, delicious granny apple compote on top! Its dinner and dessert all in one!

Thursday: Five Buck Jiffy’s and a Surly Firkin! Voted by City Pages as the best burger of 2008, we’re offering the now infamous combination of peanut butter, bacon, and pepper jack cheese on a burger with your choice of hand-cut fries or tater tots for only $5! We’ve found the best way to wash down one of these taste sensations is with a pint of Surly – so we’re tapping a special firkin of Surly in time for dinner!

Friday: Blucy Twofers and a Summit Firkin! Of course, we’re going to save the best for the actual anniversary day. We’re offering two Blucy’s, our flagship burger stuffed with bleu cheese and minced garlic, for the price of one all day! And to help us celebrate the occasion, Summit has provided us with a firkin of their Horizon Red Ale dry hopped with Amarillo hops!

We hope to see you all in here this week and we sincerely thank you for your support and friendship!
Cheers,
Patrick McDonough and Jeremy Woerner

3 Course Farmer’s Market Tasting with Beer Pairing

Looking to enjoy some delicious Minnesota food and beer (or wine) this weekend?! If so head on over to Ngon Bistro for a 3 Course Farmer’s Market Tasting with Beer Pairing. This menu will be served Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the dinner hours.

3 Course Farmer’s Market Tasting with Beer Pairing

Went to the Dale & University farmer’s market and went a little a little crazy. I think I got about 200lbs of produce on my Surly big dummy bike. If you haven’t been there, they are in the parking lot of Sun Foods. They offer allot of herbs & vegetables that you would not normally find at other farmer’s markets. This weekend we are going to offer a 3 course tasting using ingredients from that market with a MN beer or MN wine pairing.

First Course: Asian cucumber & pear tomatoes with rau rum vinaigrette

Second Course: Minnesota Pheasant Confit with pea shoots, Thai basil, & egg noodles with a pho spiced duck broth

Third Course: Wild Rice Crusted Red Lake Walleye with roasted beets and a sweet corn & rhubarb chutney

Dinner only

The Beer Pairings are as follows:

  • First course: Summit Scandia
  • Second course: Lift Bridge Crosscut
  • Third course: Lift Bridge Farm Girl

And for you wine drinkers:

  • First course: St Croix La Crescent
  • Second course: Winehaven Syrah
  • Third course: Alexis Bailly Seyval Blanc
