Glasstown Brewing Company Hosts Italian Pasta Night in Wallaceburg March 20

Glasstown Brewing Company's Italian-Inspired Pasta Night brought a multi-course dinner to the brewery's upstairs dining room at 331 James Street in Wallaceburg on Thursday, March 20, running from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. as part of a spring series of themed dinners the brewery has been building out.

The menu was built around three distinct pasta directions, and guests had to lock in their entrée choice at the time of reservation. Those who committed early could pick between spaghetti with handmade Wagyu meatballs in marinara sauce, lobster mac and cheese finished with jalapeño bacon jam and baked under Parmesan and panko, or chicken cacciatore gnocchi loaded with roasted chicken, peppers, onions and mushrooms in tomato sauce. The commitment-at-booking requirement wasn't a minor detail: seating was limited and filling quickly in the days leading up to the event, with reservations secured by credit card through a call to 226-746-BEER (2337) or email to events@glasstownbrewingco.ca.

Before the main event, guests were invited into the Speakeasy downstairs for a cocktail or glass of wine before moving up to the dining room. The meal opened with an Italian bistro salad of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, shaved Parmesan and croutons, dressed with a Libby Lager-infused lemon vinaigrette that worked the brewery's own beer directly into the plate. Dessert was a lemon cranberry panna cotta topped with house-made cranberry sauce.

Events coordinator Eryn Logan noted that "these specialty dinners have been drawing strong interest," and also flagged that the brewery's Brew Crew membership program still has space available for those looking to stay plugged into future events.

Glasstown isn't stopping at pasta. The following Thursday, March 27, the brewery shifted the series toward seafood with an oyster and seafood night featuring oysters on the half shell alongside a full seafood lineup, continuing what has shaped up as a consistent run of Thursday dinner events leaning into the spring calendar.
