Just when you thought the concept of the cookie table couldn’t be improved upon, along comes a festival called “Drink the Cookie Table.”
While cookie tables often show up at Western Pennsylvania weddings, this event features the marriage of local breweries and local dessert makers to create dessert beer for a special one-day event.
It’s set for Saturday, Nov. 6 at Spirit Hall in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood. It’s sponsored by Fueled By Hops, a self-described online community and blog for craft beer enthusiasts.
They include Sarris Candies (paired with Monday’s Brewing), Oakmont Bakery (paired with Inner Groove Brewing), Pastries-A-La-Carte (matched with Arboretum Trail Brewing), and The Pie Place (joined with Altered Genius Brewing).
Nationally known brands such as Duck Donuts will also be teaming up with breweries for the event.
But why should pie and pastry places be paired up with breweries, anyway? Don’t they hold up well enough alone?
“We wanted to challenge these breweries to visit the cookie table concept and create beers inspired by these sweet spreads for the attendees,” said Ryan Galiotto, the founder of Fueled By Hops. “We further wanted to bring the entire community in to the event by teaming these breweries up with iconic Pittsburgh dessert brands to create unique dessert beers.”
Many of these beers will only be available for this festival, according to Galiotto.
Tickets for Drink The Cookie Table are $55. They include a commemorative taster glass, unlimited pours and entrance to one of the sessions of the day. Designated driver tickets are also available.
