Ommegang: "Great Beer Deserves Great Food" --

The Rose and Kettle Restaurant
4 Lancaster Street Cherry Valley, NY

Open Friday-Sunday at 5 PM

Hello Everybody,

Cherry Valley is in the midst of an ice storm as I write this note, but we continue to persevere with the hope that the weather will break and you will be able to join us this weekend because we have great food and music and a special event on Saturday at The Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown. Actually, the weather report has it that the storm ends at 5 tonight, which is exactly the moment we open our doors and welcome you in for dinner.

This Sunday we have an un-superbowl party begining at 8 PM with live music from Mike Hand and Don Osterberg, two core members of the Hand Band. Original and popular rock and roll standards from two of Cherry Valley's favorite musicians, a touch of improv and a touch of danger (actually, no danger--just fun). The music calendar is swelling with talent from near and far and if you want to check the schedule visit our blog at the following address (also at the blog you can revisit some of our hilarious emails from yesteryear--uhg!):

Saturday at noon, come on out to the Ommegang Brewery and sample all their delicious classic and radical Belgian Ale concoctions paired up with some wild Rose and Kettle food stuffs. The boys from the Brewery dropped off a couple of cases of their Chocolate Ale and the Ommegedon for me this week with the simple instructions to cook whatever I like as long as I make enough food for a hundred and fifty folks and that everything I cook is saturated with Ommegang beer. So I've got some delicious Pork Shoulder Roasts, Lamb steaks and duck sausages, all from local farms, and all ready for the next step on the food chain (which is hopefully the last step on the food chain).

Coming up on February 14 is Valentines Day, and the Rose and Kettle will open especially for this night with our regular dinner menu and some delightful specials. Look for fancy steaks and rare truffles, exotic fish and rich seafood. More to come!!!

Alright, thanks for reading, keep in touch, visit our blog and drop a comment there if you like.

Best,
