The food world is having its monster-truck moment. Taco Bell’s gone Doritos. Pizza Hut is turning its crust into a series of cheese jacuzzis. And Karl Strauss is doing funky beers. Yes, we realize that last one falls short of “zany.” But every Thursday night Strauss unveils some pretty innovative cask beers from 5PM until they run out (at all locations). On April 11 they’ll tap a red chile-infused version of their Red Imperial Ale, Off The Rails. April 18 will be a Boardwalk Black Rye IPA.
Italian street food joint Monello is hooking up with Societe Brewing Co. for craft beer-and-pizza pairings from April 15-18. There’ll be three pairings: Margherita with The Apprentice IPA, black truffle and mushroom pie with The Debutante (Belgian), and a “Dole” pizza (Ricotta, caramelized pear, dark chocolate ganache, toasted almonds) with The Butcher Imperial Stout.
