Morton's Steakhouse "A Taste of Tradition" Chimay Tasting

Cool email I got a few days ago and am finally able to unload on here.

Basically, the very classy Morton's Of Chicago is having a tasting pairing several of the Chimay Belgian trappist beers with Morton's signature hors d'ouevres.

It will be held on Friday November 21 from 530-7 pm at the Morton's location in Baltimore. The cost will be $45/person and include tax and tip, with $5 of that going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. To RSVP call (410) 547-8255.

The tasting includes three of Belgium’s finest brews, crafted by the Trappist Monks of the Abbey de Scourmont—Chimay Premiere, Chimay Grand Reserve, and Chimay Cinq Cents. These are then paired with Morton’s signature hors d’oeuvres, including tuna tartare canapés, petite filet mignon sandwiches, sliced smoked salmon, and Morton’s Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake.

This looks ten kinds of awesome and I highly encourage you to attend if you've got the time and the resources.
