Peninsula Beverly Hills in crafty beer tie-up

1

The Peninsula Beverly Hills partners with ultra-craft brewery Mad Fritz to launch a bespoke beer, the intriguingly named The Lion and the Mouse, a Belgian-style abbey ale. From August 1, the limited edition beer will be available exclusively at the hotel’s Club Bar.

The beer is the product of months of collaboration between Mad Fritz founders Nile Zacherle and Whitney Fisher and The Peninsula’s Michael Ploetz and David Codney. This will mark the first time that Mad Fritz has been available outside of Napa Valley and The Peninsula Beverly Hills will be the only location worldwide with The Lion and the Mouse on its menu. The premium beer will be presented in crystal stemware and served alongside a seasonal, specially created bar snack such as Roasted Wild Boar Sausage in a Blanket with house-made mustard.

The cost? A sobering US$45 for a 785 ml (27 oz) bottle ? but that does include a ?bespoke bar snack?.
