Brains! And beer!Photo: Dionicess
For everyone who's more into jack-o-lanterns than jingle bells, DioNicEss is putting a dose of horror into your holiday season. On December 9, the beer-pairing pros present "DieN'Isis: A Zombie Apocalypse Survival Dinner Workshop" at Long Beach's Beachwood BBQ. Rule #1 in Zombieland should be to skip the suds and run to safety, but this installment of the food and drink series turns diners into stupefied, flesh-eating lunatics, not survivors. Beachwood chef Gabriel Gordon is cooking a five-course offal feast, with dishes like a trio of brains, a "Reanimation" course with something along the lines of a live octopus, and a final course called "Skeletal Remains."
Ales will include necro-related brews from Monkish, Phantom Carriage, TAPS, The Bruery, Eagle Rock, and Beachwood. While you gnash your teeth on some helpless protein, DioNicEss founder Gev Kazanchyan, a public health professor, may have some colleagues on hand, like a neuroscientist and forensics expert, to discuss zombification and how to survive the zombie apocalypse (coming December 21 to a town near you!).
Besides the joys of sheer punnery, the company taking the mantle "DieN'Isis" for the night to honor the Egyptian goddess of reincarnation. See the full line-up of courses below and get your $80 tickets online.
The Program:
· The cause (are you a slow runner?)
· Death (it happens to even the best of us)
· Decomposition (break it down)
· Reanimation (think live octopus, still wriggling)
· BRAAAIIIINS!! (a trio of them, no less)
· Bored with brains (because no parts should go to waste)
· Skeletal remains (pick them bones clean)
· The cure (using a special caffeinated treat from Portola Coffee Lab, which could bring anyone out of a zombie-like state)
