Willie the Boatman’s beers were awesome. Fruity, hopsy and quite complicated.
Hand dived scallops with a green mango and shrimp salsa matched with Foo Brew Golden Ale. Such an awesome way to start!
Thrown into the mix, Red Lantern’s amazing signature battered chilli salted squid with fresh lemon and white pepper dipping sauce.
Juicy diamond shell clams and Vietnamese herb salad matched with Todd’s Trailer Ale.
Vietnamese style clam chowder was a great twist on Chinese congee, matched with The Bulger.
Tea smoked SA blue mussels with roasted red peppers and chilli matched with The Crazy Ivan Pale Ale. So hearty.
Corong Pippi’s in Thai basil, chilli and lime matched with Old Salty Gose (my fave beer of the night!).
Happy diners!
Tonight a group of 6 of us experienced Red Lantern on Riley’s Beer & Clam night with Willie the Boatman. 5 amazingly delicious courses of Sydney’s freshest shell fish, washed down with awesome craft beers from Willie’s local Sydney brewery.
Such a great intimate night with the chef and brewer educating us along the way from behind the Red Lily cocktail bar. Red Lantern are hosting these semi-regularly now, so be sure to book yourself in to one. At $60/head it’s awesome value, you won’t regret it!
