Summer is so close we can taste it, and tasting something new is precisely the plan at your local World of Beer. This national chain of beer- centric taverns and eateries is celebrating the season with a new summer food menu. This s the first time World of Beer has created a summer food menu and, as expected, the new summer foods are created specifically to match with summer seasonal beer.
The new summer menu will feature another important change- a seasonal partnership with Colorado’s Oskar Blues Brewery. The collaboration between Oskar Blues and World of Beer will allow guest the chance to taste Oskar Blues amazing beer and food offerings and will include menu options such as:
- Oskar Blues Peel and Eat Shrimp — In a collaboration between WOB’s chef Mark Adair and Oskar Blues chef Jason Rogers, these shrimp are steamed in Oskar Blues American Summer Hoppy Wit broth and served with grilled garlic toast.
- Oskar Blues American Summer Hoppy Wit – Limited release beer— A spiced Belgian Wit that is hopped with Citra, Amarillo and Simcoe multiple times in the fermenter. Spicy and citrusy with fruit flavors from the yeast and hops alike, with a tart twist at the finish.
American Craft Beer Week ends this Saturday, May 21, 2016 and to celebrate the closing of another week of craft beer commemoration, World of Beer locations nationwide will host the Oskar Blues Revue, a day to celebrate summer with beer, food and music.
World of Beer executive chef Mark Adair cherishes the opportunity to work with Oskar Blues and to create food dishes reminiscent of his own childhood.
“When developing the World of Beer seasonal menu, I drew upon my own childhood memories to romance and combine classic summer favorites into unique dishes for our guests,” said Adair. “One of my favorite parts of this seasonal menu design was collaborating with Oskar Blues’ Chef Jason Rogers and their head brewer; as a longtime fan of their beers, I knew their brewing style and focus on key flavors would help enhance our peel and eat shrimp dish in a way only they could.”
