Marc Kadish, owner and executive chef of Sunset Grill & Tap in Allston,
Massachusetts. Marc started his culinary career at age 15, working for hotels, inns
and restaurants and today is considered by many to be one of the biggest beer experts
in the Northeast. He opened the Sunset Grill in 1986.
Our beer menu at Sunset Bar & Grill features several beertails and meadtails. Some
of our most popular combinations are, of course, the old fashioned blends like a
snakebite (cider and beer) or a Beery Mary (beer and bloody mary mix), but we have
several of our own. We have Black and Blue, which is Guinness and a blueberry ale, a
Black Velvet, which is cider and stout, a Honey Moon Ale, which is Hoegaarden
and mead and a Peach Fuzz, which is Allagash White and Lindemans Pecheresse. We
also play with all kinds of different versions of black and tan for example, Dogfish
Heads Worldwide Stout on top of their 90 Minute IPA. I like to think that when people
come here and have the chance to get creative, they might order a better beer than they
are used to and then maybe move on to craft beer next time.
Getting ideas is kind of like coming up with peanut butter and chocolate. We come up
with ideas on our own as well as from customers. A lot of the inspiration comes from
coming up with a fun name for example, a favorite here is the Dirty Ho, which is a
mix of Lindemans Framboise and Hoegaarden. We also mix beers for special occasions,
such as when the Bruins were in the hockey playoffs this summer we made a Bruins
Town Black and Gold, which was Guinness and Blonde Cougar from Wormtown
Brewing Company in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Its easy to come up with blend ideas when you have a lot of different beers and
different styles of beers on hand, such as in our case where we have 112 beers on
draft. Its all up to your imagination.
can. Here at Cascade, were constantly taking different beers that we have from the tap
and blending them on the fly.
If you have the space, brew a little extra homebrew, or reserve a little bit of beer from
each batch and start putting away a varied stock and inventory and library of blending
components. Always, however, keep the beer away from O2 as much as you can when
youre blending keep the oxygen exposure to a minimum.
