Autumn Fall to Table Dinner at Mecca Grade Estate Malt

On Saturday, September 22nd, Mecca Grade Estate Malt hosted their first Farm to Table Dinner in collaboration with Wild Oregon Foods. The evening started off with guests gathering under the twinkle of the barn lights to enjoy passed appetizers of sautéed long red beans from Paradise Produce with a crispy garlic sesame ginger vinaigrette and cocktails, Grand Pappy's Penicillin, made with Home Base Spirit's Bourbon.

Next guests enjoyed a four course plated dinner created by Chef James Fink of Wild Oregon Foods with ingredients from Jefferson County farmers and ranchers, paired with beers brewed with Mecca Grade Estate Malt. Many of the brewers were able to attend the dinner and talk about their beers along with Chef James presenting the food he had prepared. The dinner and drink menu included:

To Savor

  • Mini bacon wrapped meatloaf with bacon from Hill Meat Company and beef from Symons Beef Company.
