Grabbing a beer – a simple activity symbolizing friendship, comradery, and relaxation. The spring beer dinner at The Marsh House was just that. Held on May 1st during The Craft Brewers Conference, this dinner drew brewers and amature beer connoisseurs to the same table. After filing through the industrially trendy dining room, guests were led outdoors to an inviting, enclosed patio space. Samples were poured from Mantra tap handles while little glass bottles of Roadhouse Brewing Company offerings were displayed for guests to grab. Eager waiters began passing perfect plates of expertly prepared shrimp toast (available at any time on The Marsh House menu), spinach and mushroom hand pies with boursin, and tangy venison poppers. As everyone settled into their seats and introductions were made, a cold appetizer bar opened, offering ceviche, creamy crawfish tails, and freshly shucked oysters- a Marsh House staple.
