Pony Popup

03/19/2014

Thanks & huge love to all of our fans & supporters, letting you know that next week, Monday March 24th will be the *last* weekly Pony Popup at ChurchKey. Pony is going to remain working Mondays at the Key, and you'll see lots of other ventures with beer-infused food from the team, and probably lots at the Key, but it's time to close this experiment and move on to a couple new ones. I'll create an event, next week I'm giving something back to *YOU*, so please come & party with us. This isn't goodbye, it's hello to new options.

Hello Popup Fans! PONY'S been stretched a bit thin lately so we're taking a couple week hiatus. Just beer & awesome company at Churchkey today and next Monday. Come see me next Sunday at the Oakland Beer and bacon Festival at the Mockingbird table! Beer-infused goodness will return in two weeks. Thanks!

Introvert's Special tomorrow: Amazing selection of the Imperial Stout tap takeover for beer week, and a quietly awesome Beef stew/pot pie made with Ommegang's "Take The Black" Stout. Shhhh don't tell anyone. Let's recover our hangovers together quietly. http://thefullpint.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Ommegang-Game-of-Thrones-Take-The-Black-Stout.jpg

Beer Week Recovery, that's what's up this week at the Popup. The taps will still be full from most of Blackout Sunday, which will mean Hella Imperial Stouts. We're going to deliver a rich, thick stout-beef stew for our Pot Pies, and if we're lucky our local Monster Pastry chef will deliver something rich and chocolatey. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/24827/80760/

This week for SF Beer Week we've got a real treat! Moonlight Brewing tap takeover, and our special Pulled Pork is braised in Death and Taxes for 6 hours, and the sauce is made with D&T to boot. Come hungry! Monster Pastry has made Strawberry Shortcake cups with Marscapone for dessert. Yum!

We're excited for a new collaboration this week. I'm making a roast-veggie, chicken, and Matilda saison pot pie, and Katie is bringing us her Lemon-Blackberry Blast pie pops! More pics to come, see you tonight!

Hi Gang! I've returned from my adventures in the frosty Great White North & am inspired to make a ton of yummy new dishes- but starting next week. Tonight I'll be beertending and probably sharing takeout from one of the other awesome north beach restaurants with ya'all because I got back too late to have time for this week's recipe. Next week: Dreamcrusher Beef Stew, and more!

Thanks so much for your support! The past few weeks have been great, thanks to all of you. The feedback has been really helpful, keep it coming. We are taking a break next week to spend time with family, but Betz will be pouring beer at the Key for everyone on the 23rd, and the popup returns on Monday the 30th. See you in a couple weeks.

Secrets of a delicious stew revealed: roast your bird over the chopped roast veggies so they half-fry in the drippings. Make your roux & use fresh stock with mirepoix. Add a tasty winter brew and voila. See you tonight!

This is how we roll. Make a big chicken & roast fennel stew with Deschutes Jubelale Winter Brew, and add one into the chef too. See you tonight! This week is Deliciously warming.

Baby, it's cold outside, so we're readying some winter treats for you to have with a few strong, warming beers tomorrow evening. This week our pot pie is Winter Chicken, made with roasted Carrot and Fennel & Deschutes Brewing Jubelale. We will also have a small taster plate with fresh persimmon, pickled fennel, truffled English white cheddar, and Cowgirl Creamery's amazing Devil's Gulch. See you tomorrow!
