The Versus Series: St Patrick’s Day Special
Innis & Gunn's popular Versus series will this month celebrate St Patrick's Day, with a special-edition menu showcasing the best in Irish food and drink!
About The Versus Series: St Patrick’s Day Special
Running since 2018, the ‘Versus’ series offers the perfect night out for foodies, with flavours from around the globe brought to life through bespoke menus. Working with a new theme each month as inspiration, dishes are created by the head chef from each of Innis & Gunn’s four Brewery Taprooms across Scotland (Edinburgh, Leith, Glasgow and Dundee).
Each ‘Versus’ menu offers four small plates per person, paired with four beers from some of Innis & Gunn’s favourite brewers that suit the theme, and four cocktails created in collaboration with a specially selected premium spirit brand.
Throughout the experience, attendees get the chance to vote for their favourite dish, beer or spirit serve, with the winner crowned grand champion at the end of the night.
Edinburgh foodies have the choice of two menus with options at both of Innis & Gunn’s Brewery Taprooms, in Edinburgh on Lothian Road or in Leith.
The ‘Versus’ menu for Lothian Road’s ‘St Patrick’s Day’ celebration features:
• Crispy colcannon and bacon bites
• Cold oak smoked salmon, malted soda bread and whipped butter
• Stewed lamb shoulder, champ potato and braised cabbage
• Bambrack cake pan fried, with vanilla ice cream and Slane Irish whiskey
The menu for Innis & Gunn’s Leith location features:
• Salt beef and cheese reuben fritters, with Innis & Gunn ‘Original’ beer sauce
• Corned beef hash, with fried free-range egg
• Stout stew, with cheddar, herbs and dumplings
• Irish whiskey stout glazed chocolate cake
Attendees can expect their dishes to be paired with Irish Whiskey cocktails and perfect serves, thanks to collaboration with Slane Irish Whiskey and a selection of Irish beers from some of Innis & Gunn’s favourite Irish brewers.
For those looking to continue the celebrations at home, Innis & Gunn’s Irish Whiskey Cask, a hugely popular Scottish stout, matured with Irish Whiskey casks makes a great choice. First brewed over 10 years ago as a limited-edition to celebrate the celtic connection between Scotland and Ireland, Irish Whiskey Cask has gone on to become a core beer in the Innis & Gunn portfolio, available in Tesco stores across Scotland and the Innis & Gunn online shop.
The ’Versus’ series offers a unique food and drink pairing menu to suit all tastes, which is sure to make for a great night out. In April, as the cherry blossoms bloom, each Innis & Gunn Brewery Taproom will put their own twist on a Japanese menu, in collaboration with Roku gin, Haku vodka and Toki Japanese whisky. May will see Spanish beer go head-to-head with Spanish wine, accompanied by premium Spanish Tapas. June will offer the chance to join a Belgian beer dinner.
