Beer for brunch? Why not?

The Drafting Room (635 N. Pottstown Pike, Exton) is brewing up a stout beer brunch on Jan. 30, with a tap time of 11 a.m. (The food will be served starting at 10 a.m., and brunch ends at 2 p.m.). For last year’s Chester County Choice Awards, the Drafting Room was the winner of “Best Brunch.”

Nothing says breakfast of champions like a glass of delicious stout, and these smooth beers will definitely offer a cure for the winter blues.  These will be available a la carte: Port Brewing Older Viscosity (a balance of dry bitter-sweetness and dark roasted malts), Founder’s Kentucky Breakfast Stout (brewed with hints of vanilla and coffee with a strong bourbon undertone), Flying Fish Exit 13 (made from 600 pounds of the finest Belgian chocolate), Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout (this roast will certainly perk up your morning), Weyerbacher 15 (considered to be a smoky treasure for years to come), Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout (the award-winning beer has a dark chocolate flavor), Rouge Russian Imperial Stout 2009 (one of their most robust stouts), Dogfish Head World Wide Stout (a dark and complex roasted beer), and Nogne Dark Horizon First Edition (coffee, dark chocolate, dark fruits with a bourbon finish).

“You have a lot of beers that are limited edition,” said bartender Heather Higgins. “The Kentucky Breakfast is limited quality and not many places carry it. When we do these events, we serve them in five-ounce pours. This way, people don’t have to commit to a 16 ounce and they can try lots of beers.”  If customers desire, 10-ounce and 14-ounce pours are available as well.

The buzzworthy menu includes an omelette station; a carving station of prime rib, turkey, and ham; waffles with lambic glaze; shepherd’s pie; smoked salmon; turkey bacon; sausage; mussels; Belgian cheese fondue; an a la carte cheese plate and much more.

Their bourbon-lazed homemade sticky buns and crab and spinach eggs Benedict are made to order.  No meal would be complete without dessert — especially when it comes in fountain form. The free chocolate fountain comes with strawberries, Rice Krispie treats and pretzel rods.

You can wake up with 12 eye-opening cocktails, which aren’t just your average brunch cocktails.

The Drafting Room carries a large variety of domestics, microbrews and imported specialty beers. Sip a pint from one of their rotating 13 pumps, their cask-conditioned hand pump, or pick from their extensive bottle list (more than 100 bottles).

This bountiful buffet is only $16.95 per person. The lunch menu and an a la carte menu are both available. This is one of many beer-centric dining events held at The Drafting Room, so visit www.draftingroom.com to learn more. To make your reservations today, call 610-363-0521.
