Enjoying A Castaway IPA & Rogue Dead Guy Ale

With Jesse Suderman
At The Beach Bar at The Moana Surfrider,
A Westin Resort & Spa

Right now, restaurants and bar manager Jesse Suderman is gearing up for the annual Beer Fest at The Beach Bar at The Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa for Father’s Day (from 4 to 7 p.m. June 19). According to Suderman, the fest will feature 20 beers, including Kona Brewing Company’s Castaway IPA and Rogue’s Dead Guy Ale as pictured. And they’re offering an off-the-menu list of appetizers to pair with those brews (see right). (Visit moana-surfrider.com for more information.)

PERFECT PAIRS

“Our beer bratwurst pairs best with a refreshing type of beer, such as Kona Brewing’s Castaway, or one of the special ones we’ve brought in especially for the Beer Fest, which is the Occidental Hefeweizen out of

Northern California. And as far as our Mango Baby Back Ribs, the ideal pairings for this hearty combo would be the Rogue Dead Guy, or another special beer just for the

Beer Fest, which is the Green Flash Cosmic Porter out of San Diego.”

Any memorable moments from past Beer Fests?

“We have had people come wearing Lederhosen — it just made it fun and more festive. So we defi nitely encourage more people to come in Lederhosens.”
