The Ale & Madeira Dinner
Book here, £95 all-in, including matching beers and wines, menu at bottom of this post.
We love Madeira at the Blue Stoops, especially aged Madeira. We love it for its deep flavour and seemingly endless variety. But we also love that its history is so similar to our own at Allsopp’s.
Like Allsopp’s India Pale Ale - and indeed Allsopp’s Arctic Ale - Madeira was created to survive the challenging conditions aboard a sailing ship while being exported, in all weathers and conditions, to a thirsty world.
And now Allsopp’s has forged a partnership with Blandy’s, the finest winemaker on the island of Madeira, to cellar and serve their magnificent wines at The Blue Stoops. This collaboration brings together two historic English mercantile families who have been producing and exporting the highest quality drink for hundreds of years.
At The Blue Stoops our annual Ale & Madeira Dinner in November celebrates this partnership and also the happy fact that Allsopp’s Ales and Blandy’s Madeira complement each other, and our food, so well.
We hope you will join us on 11th November. Dinner is £95.
