On Thursday, November 29th, Zin Restaurant & Lounge teamed up with R&B Brewing Co. to present the “Beer Dip”, a 5 course fondue dinner created by Chef Richard Tyhy. Each course was created and paired with local Vancouver beer from R&B Brewing Co.

The Beer Dip combined the unpretentious dining style of fondue with beer education and encouraged guests to discover the various flavours of beer and culinary ingredients they pair well with. As a bonus, R&B Brewery presented the audience with some education on how to taste beer (Barry Benson speaks as seen in the video below) and a taste of R&B’s cask-conditioned 10 year anniversary ale.

Hosts Rick Dellow and Barry Benson, co-owners of R&B Brewing Co., promise an upcoming repeat of this unique dining experience soon. Stay tuned to the Urban Mixer Calendar HERE for more information.

Check out the menu and more information about the event from the original release after the jump.

Price: The Beer Dip Fondue Dinner is $50.00 per person. Price does not include tax and gratuity.
