Before the starboard side of the RMS Titanic struck that now infamous iceberg, first class guests were served an opulent 10-course dinner in a Victorian-styled dining room adjacent to the ship's grand staircase.
r
Now, 100 years later, Flying Dog Brewery and The Rockfish in Annapolis are commemorating that fateful night by recreating that last supper aboard the iconic ocean liner.
r
At the Ghosts of the Titanic beer dinner April 14, each of those 10 courses will be served and paired with a different Flying Dog beer.
r
“The luxurious excess of the Titanic was incredible.” Ben Savage, Flying Dog's VP of marketing, said. “Recreating each and every course served all at one sitting, and now pairing beers with them, exemplifies the atmosphere of that final night perfectly – except without all of the death.”
r
The menu features dishes like pate de fois gras with celery served with Flying Dog's newest Brewhouse Rarities release Disobedience Abbey Dubbel.
r
The dinner is $125 per person or $450 for a table of four. Reservations are required and can be made by calling The Rockfish at 410-267-1800.
