THE HAVEN
BEEF AND ALE PIE
Pairing with beer? The hell with merely pairing! This crusted bicep of a meal redefines “Stout dinner,” braising heaping mounds of beef in the BeerAdvocate-approved Belhaven Scottish Ale. Less of a dining experience and more of a testosterone-fueled scavenger hunt, this final boss of pub food buries these brew-infused steak nuggets in a bed of only the worthiest vegetables—including locally grown cabbage, caramelized onions and kohlrabi greens. The garden without mercy lies under a magnificent canopy of a caraway-seed crust, defying you to summon the strength necessary to crack into its untold, artery-clogging riches. And to absolutely put the kibosh on any plans you may have had on standing up ever again, this culinary K2 is offered as a special with Belhaven on draft, creating a dining experience that is ultimately two-thirds brewed. [2 Perkins St., Jamaica Plain. 617.524.236. $17/pie. [[http://thehavenjp.com/ |thehavenjp.com]]]
