Last week, I had the pleasure of attending a Stone Brewing Co. beer dinner at 5 Napkin Burger in Boston. The evening was filled with delicious eats, great beer and even a few familiar faces.

The evening began with a cocktail half-hour in 5 Napkin's private event room, where we had the opportunity to mingle with the other guests, as well as a rep from Stone Brewing Co. Light appetizers (like guacamole and house-made chips) were also served. Then, we were brought into the dining room to sit at a large, family-style table to eat and imbibe the night away.
Overall, I was very pleased with the pairings as a whole, not to mention the accommodating staff and the innovative dishes (beets + lentils, in a burger?! Yes, please).
The typical cost for 5 Napkin Burger's beer dinners is $45 including tax and gratuity. Their next beer dinner is taking place with Long Trail Brewing Company on April 24th.
Disclaimer: Z and I attended this dinner free of charge. Despite 5 Napkin Burger's generosity, the opinions expressed in this post are honest and 100 percent my own.
Michelle - I'm glad you liked 5Napkin as much as we do. Could you figure out the low ratings on Yelp/Urbanspoon? Is it not what people are expecting? Personally I think the location (by Cheesecake Factory) is drawing the 'wrong' element, a surburban mall-type crowd.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised by the ratings myself, actually - via word of mouth, I've always only heard positive reviews!
DeleteBeets in a veggie burger sounds AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThat smores pie! I want it! I still haven't been to 5 Napkins but have also heard good things :)
ReplyDeletelong trail is my favorite! I'll have to look into this.
ReplyDeleteThis dinner sounds like it was awesome. I wish I could have gone. The smores pie is calling my name!
ReplyDeleteCrazy – I've been working on a lentil burger recipe which I'm planning to add beets to. I would've added them when I made them tonight, but I ran out of time and served them on the side.
ReplyDeleteThat patty looks really thick – did it hold together well? Was it mushy inside or firm?
Hey Zach - the burger wasn't mushy at all. I'm not sure what they used besides the typical binding agents, but it held together perfectly!
DeleteThis looks delicious! 5 Napkin Burger has been on my list for a while, but I just haven't made it there yet. Thrilled to see there are so many great vegetarian options. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYay! Great seeing you there! :) I'm finally getting my post up . .
