(OR) Heathman Restaurant Hosting Jameson Dinner 02/03
Portland, OR – For centuries spirits and beer have shared an almost identical process when it came to their creation. Although the definitive difference is the hops, the steps taken to produce a nice whiskey are hard to ignore when one compares a nice India Pale Ale. Famous craft beer writer Michael Jackson on numerous occasions, could be found praising scotch, whiskeys, and bourbons as a enjoyable treat when one wasn’t in the mood for a craft beer. Heathman’s Restaurant although not known for their many beer dinners does get credit in my book for another of their whisky dinners.
The Heathman Restaurant and Bar welcomes Jameson’s National Ambassador to the US, Grace McGlynn, for a special Jameson Dinner on Wednesday, February 3, 2010. The four-course dinner will feature four of the finest whiskeys in the Jameson family, along with a menu prepared by Culinary Director Philippe Boulot. The dinner is $65 per person, not including gratuity and has limited seating. Call the Heathman Restaurant and Bar at 503-790-7752 for reservations. Doors open at 6:30 for “meet and greet” cocktails and dinner begins at 7 p.m. –source, Heathman’s Restaurant
