    Coq Au Brun

    Coq au vin is a delicious traditional French dish composed of braised chicken, lardons, mushrooms and, typically, earthy red Burgundy. All across France there are many variations on this recipe depending on the wine made in the region. In Alsace, crisp white wine is used; in the South an orange wine or rosé. For our uniquely American craft beer approach, this recipe has been adapted to bring out the fall notes of a brown ale. This recipe can be made richer by changing to a dubbel as well. Served over potatoes this dish is a perfect complement to a cold autumn night.
