The Underground Food Collective is out at Death’s Door Distillery this Saturday for a dinner & cocktail pairing extravaganza. And YOU could be there. For free!
Here’s the skinny on the event:
Join the hard working folks of Death’s Door Distillery (Wisconsin’s largest craft distillery) and the Underground Food Collective (http://undergroundfoodcollective.org/) for an evening of fine food and craft cocktails under the shadow of the distillery’s handcrafted copper still.
Doors open at 5:30pm with an exclusive tour of the distillery operations starting at 6pm. Guests will enjoy appetizers and cocktails while learning about what goes into making award-winning craft spirits the Death’s Door Spirits way. Hear from the Distillery’s President, Head Distiller, and/or National Brand Manager as they tell the story behind the brand.
At 7pm, we’ll sit down to a delightful dinner of food and drinks prepared by the Underground Food Collective and their talented staff. The meal will consist of four (4) courses, served family style and will feature Death’s Door Spirits cocktails paired with every course. Come see how vodka, gin and white whisky cocktails pair with fantastic food.Tickets will be capped for the first 100 guests and will be sure to sell out quickly. All reservations must be made at least 3 days before the event.
For questions or detailed information, please email info@deathsdoorspirits.com or call the distillery at 608-831-1083.
Dinners run from 5:30pm to 9pm. Tickets are $90 per person available here: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/319601
However, despite what the official invite says, I’m hearing the meal will have SEVEN courses. Behold, the menu:
Looks delicious, no? I’ll be attending, and I’m excited to see what bartenders Grant Hurless and Hastings Cameron have concocted for cocktail pairings. [Stop back. Hastings will be divulging the cocktail list shortly, and I'll post it.]

Hello Mister Darlington,
What a clever idea for a blog post… of course I’m a huge fan!
I would like to enter to win the tickets with warm courtesy. Most simply because I am Underground’s self-proclaimed biggest fan and also have dreams about how amazing this meal will be.
I am ecstatic that Sam KB, one of the founding fathers behind the Slow Food UW Cafe, will be making a cameo appearance to help craft the feast. I have long so missed his ability to work alongside the Underground crew and wow the tastebuds.
Furthermore, I know too well the behind-the-bar chemistry that Grant and Hasting share. My mouth is already watering…
Finally, my main reason why I’m not already on the guest list, is because I am a poor little college student that didn’t have enough cash flow to pay for her own ticket.
Happy eating, thanks so much!
Amy

I’m a food lover that never gets to go out to dinner due to never having enough money left over to get out and experience awesome cuisine. When I saw duck rillette was the first course I knew I had to give this a shot. This would be such an amazing experience and would mean the world to me!

Tomorrow is my Birthday!. Was planning on going to L’Etoile then hitting the town but this snow coming and me here in Beaver Dam. It isn’t looking to great but fingers still crossed. Need a night to have great food, craft cocktails & learn about the mad science behind Death Door Vodka. Cocktail pairing will be a first.

OK! With all the great reasons people gave for wanting to go, I wasn’t about to choose. I assigned everyone a number and then generated a winner at random. Aaaand the winner is . . Julie Ann Underwood!
