Eat, Drink and Photograph
March 10, 2011
I fell in love with Cisco Brewers this past October when we visited the brewery and winery on a beautiful Nantucket day. (Live music, great drinks, sunshine, Nantucket…what more could your ask for? I blogged about it here.) So I was so super excited when I heard the 21st Amendment, one of our favorite neighborhood bar and restaurants, decided to host a special dinner event with Cisco. Chef Nick prepared a 5-course tasting menu paired with 5 Cisco Brewery beers, and Matt Lambo from Cisco talked about each paring as the courses were served.
My friend Francesca (special event coordinator extraodinaire) asked me to pop by and photograph the event. I love photographing food. It is so fun to try and capture the feel, smell and taste of a dish.

So many great brews.

Starting if off with fresh made hot Bavarian pretzels. Beer and pretzels, just made for each other.
It wouldn’t be New England with out some Chowda

The sliders looked so amazing I almost forgot I was working and grabbed one.

Captian Swain’s Extra Stout paired nicely with the sliders

Fish and Chips, perfectly paired with the Cisco flagship beer, Whale’s Tale Pale Ale

The 21st Amendment

Watching Matt pour The Woods was like watching an artist.

Beautiful pork tenderloin
There is nothing my husband loves more than New England breweries. We usually frequent Shipyard when in Portland and have gone to breweries through our travels.
I’ll be checking around our local shops and see if they have any Cisco!
Definitely looks like it was a wonderful time.
Beautifully photographed Sarah!
Gorgeous photos! And WHAT a fun event. Nantucket is our Columbus weekend tradition and Cisco is always our 1st stop! You were on the island in Oct, too? Could we have been tipping back Grey Ladies on the same weekend? Love the kitchen shots!
