It’s cheers to beers at Noosa Springs
Few diners can claim to having completed a delicious meal with a dessert featuring strawberries soaked in beer.
But that is the delight in store for guests attending a unique summer dinner at Noosa Springs next month, where every course features beer-inspired dishes.
Aden Moriarty, the head chef of Noosa Springs’ Relish restaurant, has used all his creativity to design a three-course meal that pays homage to Australia’s favourite alcoholic drink.
Each dish has been paired with craft brews from Gage Road and Matso’s Broome Brewery.
Guests will be welcomed with a glass of ginger beer on ice with lime – a thirst-quencher that strikes a great balance of ginger and subtle sweetness.
The entr¨¦e is lemon beer battered Mooloolaba prawns in soft tacos, served with charred sweet corn and avocado, accompanied by a Single Fin Summer Ale.
That is followed by chilli ginger beer braised beef short ribs, coconut rice, gai lan, shoots and herbs, washed down by a crisp, refreshing Pipe Dreams Coastal Lager.
Then comes dessert – coconut panna cotta and Eumundi strawberries macerated in berry beer, served with pineapple crisps. There’s even a beer to accompany dessert – Matso’s mango beer, rich with fruit aromas and a refreshing sweet-dry finish.
During the evening there will be beer trivia and prizes as guests join in the theme of the occasion – Cheers to Beers.
The dinner begins at 6.30pm on Friday, December 4, and costs $70 per person. Book by calling Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort on 5440 3333 or email functions@noosasprings.com.au.
