Samuel Adams Summer Ale
Summer for most means firing up the backyard grill, throwing on a rack of ribs and slow cooking them for hours on end. While others think summer nights needs to be topped off with the perfect beer. For chef Darren Smith of the Rivertown Bistro, he sees it as a perfect combination of the two.
The Rivertown Bistro has become one of the premiere restaurants here in Grand Strand. Darren Smith is known for his perfect pairing of Low Country Southern cuisine with fine wines and cocktails. When it was announced that Smith was looking at pairing southern style BBQ with some of the top Summer beers this truly was local news worth sharing.
