Rustico Introduces Beer Popsicles
Just in Time For Summer
Alexandria,
Va. (June 19, 2007) –Rustico’s Executive Chef Frank Morales and Beer Director
Greg Engert have teamed up to create the ultimate food and beer pairing for
summer: beer popsicles. Priced at $4 for the traditional Popsicle form, and $6
for the larger beer “cones,” Rustico’s beer pops will be available through
September.
“When it comes
to food, I’m often inspired to create adult takes on kid’s classics,” said
Morales. “With Greg’s help, we’ve developed a very grown-up dessert that is a
perfect extension of Rustico’s culinary direction – finding new ways to present
simple foods that are sometimes paired with beer, often prepared with beer, and
always conceived with beer in mind.”
Rustico will
offer its beer pops in three flavors all summer long: “Raspbeer-y” made with the
St. Louis Framboise, a Belgian, fruit-style beer; “Plum,” made with Chapeau
Mirabelle, a sweet, effervescent and yeasty Belgian Lambic; and the
“Fudgesicle,” made with Bell’s Kalamazoo Stout, a dark, viscous beer from
Michigan with creamy, bittersweet chocolate notes.
Other seasonal
flavors will be offered on a rotating basis, including “Banana,” made with
Chapeau Banana Lambic that offers an authentic aroma and classic, golden color,
and apple, made with Unibroue Éphémère from Quebec that offers a subtle flavor
of green apple, complemented by delicate notes of fruit and
spice.
Rustico is located across the street from Buzz
at 827 Slaters Lane in the Potomac Plaza in Alexandria, VA. For more
