On Friday, October 7, Back Beach Barbecue and Idyll Hounds Brewing Company will host a Beer Dinner, featuring a collaboration of craft brews and various barbecue options, to kick off the brewing company’s 8^th Annual Houndfest celebration.

Beginning at 5 p.m., guests are invited to the brewery, located at 845 Serenoa Road, for a cocktail hour with light appetizers before sitting down to enjoy a four-course meal prepared by Back Beach Barbecue Pitmaster Shane Kirkland.

Each curated dish will be accompanied by a specially selected beer by Idyll Hounds Brewing Company, including a sneak preview of exclusive Houndfest brews. Pitmaster Shane has created a menu featuring various specialty meats and seafood including Bulgogi pork, snapper ceviche, and beer-braised oxtail. Guests will also have their choice of a homemade decadent dessert to round out the evening.

This will be the first dinner the brewery has ever hosted. It was created not only to kick off Idyll Hounds annual anniversary celebration, Houndfest, but offer guests a more intimate setting to learn more about the beers and experience them in a unique dining setting.

Tickets are on sale for $100 and can be purchased online.

Back Beach Barbecue opened in June 2017 by Danny and Monica Cosenzi, the duo behind the famed Restaurant Paradis located in Rosemary Beach. Back Beach Barbecue offers a delicious, refined menu highlighted by 12-hour slow-cooked meats, simple homemade sides, gluten-free options, and four sauces that are made in-house. At the center of attention are the restaurant’s two wood-fired pits, “Smokey” and “The Bandit”, easily viewed and smelled from the covered patio, outdoor patio, or via two garage doors which give the restaurant a true open-air feel. Back Beach Barbecue also offers catering for private and corporate events, delivery, and a mobile food truck. The restaurant is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, beginning at 6:30 a.m.
