What could be better than a good burger paired with a cold refreshing beer? If you said nothing, then the latest partnership between a local eatery and brewery might just be of interest to you and your taste buds.
Fred’s Texas Café and Panther Island Brewing Co. just announced that they have indeed joined forces to give North Texas foodies something to cheer about. Beginning this week, this partnership kicks off with “Pint Night” on September 26 – 27 from 5:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. at Camp Bowie West and North Fort Worth - Western Center respectively.
Patrons to either of these Fred’s establishments can get their grub on while enjoying a craft beer and a side of live music, featuring Chris Watson on Tuesday “Pint Nights” and Jackson Hatch on Wednesday “Pint Nights.” Besides this new pairing, Fred’s is also hosting “Eat For a Cause” with 15 % of all sales going to Children's Charities of Fort Worth.
With this new partnership, Quincy Wallace, CEO of Fred’s Texas Cafe, will work alongside his team to dream up an off-menu, limited-time offer burger that is inspired by specialty selected brew from Panther Island Brewing, according to a release.
This month, patrons can order the Elotes Burger, a half-pound Black Angus patty, piled with grilled Pepper Jack cheese, homemade fresh elote, finished with spicy Cheetos dust, cilantro, and a drizzle of Valentina hot sauce. The Elotes Burger finds its perfect pair with Panther Island’s "Pantera Loco Mexican Lager", a flavorful classic Mexican lager with a slight lime twist and crisp finish, with lime and optional tajin rim to finish. This tangy twist on a classic Mexican lager will be featured at both locations’ "Pint Nights" where guests can enjoy the cold beer alongside the featured burger and fun giveaways.
"Everyone here at Fred's is excited to officially welcome the guys from Panther Island Brewing to the family,” Wallace says. “We've worked with their team for years bringing their beer to our customers, but in this new partnership we are getting creative. We are planning on developing some tasty off-menu burgers every month that are inspired by and celebrate Panther Island brews.”
