Fishtown Kensington Business Improvement District (BID) is inviting locals to explore everything the new Stouts & Snouts activation has to offer. Kicking off this Saturday, March 15, at 11 a.m., participating neighborhood bars and restaurants will showcase their best stout beers, snout-inspired cocktails, and pork (or plant-based) dishes.
“The Fishtown District is thrilled to bring this destination, food-pairing happening to our thriving commercial corridor,” said Marc Collazzo, Executive Director of BID in a statement. “It’s a great way to spend a great day sampling delicious food and drink pairings at our unique eateries and taverns. We invite everyone to come join us for Stouts and Snouts because food tastes better when shared with friends.”
Different venues will be serving up stout beer specials, creative cocktails (many of which will feature Irish whiskey) and an assortment dishes covering pulled pork sandwiches to inventive plant-based alternatives and everything in between that’s on theme.
