Julian’s Celina Tio taps her very own New Belgium sour beer tonight
Any chef can throw together a beer dinner that pairs their creations with a few carefully selected pints, but actually blending your own beer that’s served from the tap at your bar — that’s a different proposition altogether.
Julian’s chef and owner Celina Tio will be in the kitchen at her Brookside restaurant tonight preparing a few new bar snacks, but the real draw is probably Julian NBB Love, the blend she created at the New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins, Colorado, this past December. It will be poured for the first time at 5:30 p.m.
“I’m a fan of having things that you can’t get anywhere else,” Tio says, while sitting at the bar yesterday afternoon, feet from her restaurant’s signature bourbon, which she worked with Kentucky’s Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery to create shortly after Julian’s launch.
