Menu for Tonight's Tuesday Tap Takeover - Portola and Friends

The second portion of our Portola and Friends food special is finally in. For this savory entree we reached out to a local brewer that has a passion for getting fancy with food. Dustin Dufresno is part of 4Sons Brewing in Huntington Beach and has stepped away from the hops for a day to bring you this out of the box dinner. Sriracha infused pork belly waffle tacos; thats right, pork belly on a waffle. This will be topped with house made vinaigrette slaw, chopped bacon, fresh cilantro, and a side of sriracha aioli. You will not want to let your tastebuds miss out on this specially constructed savory mouth-gasm. TUES DEC 9TH 2014 A.D. from 5 P.M. to 10 P.M. 

BE THERE!!!!!!!

Smoochies,

The Menu for Tonight’s Tuesday Tap Takeover – The Portola Coffee Lab Edition

Blaahhhhhhh!  Sorry this is so late, we literally have been scrambling around like headless chickens (fish?) to get this event squeezed in.  Just in the nick of time, here are yummies we will be serving up tonight:

1. The Iron/Portola Bloke's Fish and Waffle Chips - $9 - Our take on an old fashioned bloke's meal made with a traditional beer batter using Earl's Grey Dinghy beer from Noble Ale Works.  We use our Basa white fish fried to perfection, topped with Portola's special spice which includes a finely ground espresso bean, enhancing the taste.  Served with a generous helping of waffle fries and "Espretchup", yes that's an espresso ketchup served on the side for dippin!

2. Belgium waffle with fresh plums and Portola's Cascara tea syrup. - $7 - Our superb Belgium waffle with fresh local plums and Cascara tea syrup which is made from the cherry of the coffee plant.  You'll notice the complex tastes of a maple syrup with bright tangy notes and a sweet cherry finish.

Here's a preview of the dishes:

Special guest DJ Carolina will be shooting tunes around our little joint starting from about 7 PM, we hope to see all of you here!

Smoochies, Len & Jerry
