512 Brewers Dinner & Pig Feast


All of you know about the beautiful wines we serve at Olivia but do you know about the lovely cold beers we pour?  If any of ya’ll have stayed late then you’ve witnessed first hand the chef’s drink of choice is a cold (512) Wit.  Please understand that my wise, old drinking buddy use to tell me ”that it takes a lot of beer to make a good wine”  (that old guy is Jerry and I sure do miss him).  Anywho, if that’s the case, then I should own wineries around the world.  I love beer and I love what the guys over at (512) brewery are doing.  Nate, their chief brewer, has paired their golden nector with our love of local pork.  Jim Richardson from Richardson Farms is fattening up some pigs with a mixture of grains and sweet liquid wort which is used to make the (512) beers.  Plus we’ll be pulling some lovely veggies from our own garden and Boggy Creek.  It’s going to be a fun night.  Nate will give the low down on the beers, Jim will talk about his pigs, and I might be tempted to say a few words about the culinary matrimony of the two.  I hope to see you at the feast.
