Oktoberfest may be behind us, but not beer drinking.
Flancer’s Incredible Sandwiches and Pizzeria, in Mesa, has put together a spectacular beer-pairing dinner to be enjoyed on Wednesday, Nov. 7, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Partnering with Wasatch Beers, Flancer’s has chosen a variety of their libations to pair with a delicious four-course gourmet meal, all for $35 per person. Reservations are being taken now at (480) 396-0077.
Flancer’s isn’t kidding when they proclaim, they will rock your taste buds. Belgian White Ale accompanies the first course of Roasted Butternut Squash Soup garnished with Red Chile Toasted Pumpkin Seeds and Parmesan Sage Crustini.
The second course features Golden Ale to complement an Heirloom Red Spinach Salad with Sautéed Figs, Prosciutto, Green Chiles and Blueberry Goat Cheese dressed with Citrus Golden Ale Vinaigrette.
Devastor Double Bock carries the intense flavors of the main entrée, Beer-Braised Boneless Beef Short Ribs, Roasted Rosemary Potatoes and Pan-Seared Seasonal Vegetables.
For dessert, Pumpkin Ale sets off a Ginger-Pumpkin Crème Brulee topped with Homemade Spiced Whipped Cream.
And don’t forget fast-approaching Thanksgiving Day, on Nov. 22. Flancer’s is closed on Thanksgiving Day, but if you don’t want to cook, invite Flancer’s chefs to prepare their famous Homemade Gourmet Thanksgiving Dinner—Turkey-2-Go, just for you and your guests. Both Mesa and Gilbert locations are offering complete to-go meals for just $24.99 per person. If you order before Friday, Nov. 17, you receive 10 percent off, and orders of six or more receive one free dinner. Order soon, as this annual offering is always sold out.
Each meal begins with a savory Butternut Squash Soup garnished with Crème Fraiche and Toasted Pumpkin Seeds. The traditional main course features Slow-Roasted Real Turkey with Natural Old-Fashioned Gravy, and Fresh Sage, Apple and Sausage Stuffing. Delicious sides include Roasted Garlic and Scallion Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Corn and Green Chile Soufflé and Relish of Fresh Cranberries and Orange. For dessert, there’s Homemade Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Bourbon-Caramel Sauce.
In addition, whole pumpkin pies can be ordered for $12 each, and fresh-baked baguettes are $2.25. Sides of each item also are available. Call for pricing. Items must be picked up Wednesday, Nov. 21. Dinners are sold cold, and come with heating instructions.
