Press Release
JUNEAU, ALASKA — October 19, 2007 — The Alaskan Brewing Co. is pairing up with newly opened Comme Ça Restaurant to provide a night of great food, great beer and great works. Comme Ça head chef David Myers, renowned for co-founding Hollywood hotspot Sona, has prepared a sublime menu, including wild Alaskan salmon and beef bourguignon, which will be paired with award-winning Alaskan beer. The four-course fundraiser will be in support of extreme athlete Tom Jones’ ambitious and solitary journey to combat plastic pollution in our oceans. Jones is paddling the entire 1,250-mile California coastline on a 12-foot paddleboard to raise awareness about plastic pollution in our oceans and to raise money to combat the problem for the aptly named California Paddle 2007. That’s where Alaskan Brewing Co. came in. The award-winning craft brewery is committing 1% of all proceeds from its new Alaskan IPA to help preserve the Pacific Ocean and its coastlines in an initiative called the Coastal CODE (Clean Oceans Depend on Everyone). California Paddle 2007 was one of the first Coastal CODE grant recipients. Chef Myers didn’t hesitate for a minute when Alaskan Brewing approached him about co-sponsoring a beer dinner at his new restaurant, Comme Ça, to raise money for the California Paddle. As an avid surfer, Myers cares deeply about the ocean resource. The dinner will be a celebration of Tom Jones’ completion of his world record-breaking paddling expedition, which began Aug. 7 near Crescent City. The $125-per-person dinner is being held to raise money to support the California Paddle 2007 and its campaign for a plastic-free ocean. Also in attendance will be Alaskan Brewing Co-founder and Brewmaster Geoff Larson. “We believe that it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect our ocean resource,” Larson said. “But it doesn’t have to be as much of a drag as it sounds. We think this dinner makes that responsibility as appetizing to the palate as it is to the conscience.” To make a reservation for the fundraising beer dinner, call Comme Ça at 323-782-1104. WHEN: Monday, Nov. 5 TIME: Reception at 6 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m. WHERE: Comme Ça Restaurant, 8479 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles COST: $125 per person WHY: To raise money to support the California Paddle and efforts to combat plastic pollution in the ocean TO MAKE A RESERVATION: 323.782.1104 MENU: Appetizers: Accompanied with Alaskan Amber 1st course: Mushroom Risotto, Duck Confit, Maitake Mushrooms accompanied with Alaskan Winter Ale 2nd course: Wild Alaskan Salmon, Roasted Endive, Gnocchi Parisienne accompanied with Alaskan IPA 3rd course: Paleron of Beef Bourguignon, Horseradish Pomme Puree, Braised Carrots accompanied with Alaskan Stout 4th course (dessert): Brioche Bread Pudding with Raspberries accompanied with Alaskan Smoked Porter For more information, please contact Amy Phillips, 907.780.5866, [email protected] or Phiphi Tran, 213.925.7167, [email protected] Also please visit www.alaskanbeer.com, www.coastalcode.org, and www.californiapaddle.com © Copyright 1997 - 2003 by the Alaskan Brewing Company |
