GREAT BEER PAIRINGS:
DREXYL MODERN AMERICAN RESTAURANT
“Years ago, when Chad Ahrendt, twins Craig and Mark McDowell and their older brother Trevor were attending Saguaro High School, they never imagined that they would open a restaurant in their hometown. They did just that, however, with Drexyl Modern American Restaurant at the Shops at Gainey Village. The culinary team designed the handcrafted menu—and I have ensured many of the items are perfectly paired with wines, cocktails and, of course, beers of every type. The resulting menu features unique and approachable starters, salads, sandwiches and entrées. Some standouts include: fire roasted Chicken Arancini ($9), Lemongrass Caesar Salad ($9), Steak Frites Salad ($18), the half-pound “D” Burger (topped with Rotterdam Gouda cheese and bacon, $15), Crispy Chicken Sandwich ($12), house smoked double cut Heritage Pork Chop ($23), Pacific Coast Sole (with freshly squeezed lemonade pan sauce, $22), and 7-ounce Filet Mignon with lobster béarnaise ($36). For the fall and winter months, don’t miss that pork chop with a great beer.” —Drexyl Modern American Restaurant Bar Manager Trevyn St. Clair

BEER
Brewery: Four Peaks (Tempe/Scottsdale) Style: Porter Name: Four Peaks Pumpkin Porter
A cult classic and popular all winter long, Four Peaks’ Pumpkin Porter is spicy with just a hint of sweetness, replicating a savory pumpkin pie rather than a fruity gourd. Pumpkin Porter is the top selling seasonal beer in Arizona, in fact.
DISH

We house smoke this double-cut pork chop and serve it will grilled apple butter, truffle goat cheese orecchiette pasta, candied bacon and seared Brussels sprouts.
