Local Flaves with Local Folk
If you enjoy any combination of the following: cooking and drinking, eating and drinking, cooking and eating, then you must attend the latest Celebrity Chef Series at the BCAE. Stephen Oxaal of B&G Oysters and Bill Leahy of Harpoon Brewery are teaming up for an unforgettable night of deliciousness! Learn the culinary secrets of New England specialties like fried oysters and butter poached lobster, all the while sipping your way through a flight of Harpoon’s specially crafted beers.
Oysters have become somewhat of a trend here in New England with the cultivation of farming along our seaboards. Don’t be left out of the tides. This is where you can learn more about locally raised product from a locally seasoned chef and brewer. Next time you’ll be the one educating friends about the fruits of our local labor. It’s called the domino effect. Jump on board and ride the wave of local flavors brought to you by local legends.
While everyone else sits on the couch, you’ll be bumping elbows with real epicureans and dining on decadent favorites. Hmm, which sounds like more fun? Enjoying this on a date, on a night out with the hubby or wifey, or just having a good time with some friends. Come one, come all, but come hungry and ready to learn. Fond memories are in the making while we Brew & Chew at the BCAE on Monday, May 7.

B&G Oysters has received many accolades over the years for its cuisine and wine program from publications including Boston Magazine, Food & Wine, and The Boston Globe.This subterranean spot draws energy from its open kitchen which is surrounded by a white marble bar.

In 1986 Harpoon was issued Brewing Permit #001 by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, since it was the first brewery to brew in the state after a dormant period of about 25 years. Harpoon’s line of craft beer features its award-winning IPA and UFO Hefeweizen beers, along with four special seasonal selections. In 2000 Harpoon purchased a second brewery in Windsor, VT, making Harpoon the 10th largest craft brewer in the US. Harpoon has since introduced two lines of limited edition beers, the 100 Barrel Series and the Leviathan Series, as well as the all-natural Harpoon Cider made from freshly pressed, local apples.
