SUMMARY:Special Event: Iron Fish Distillery & Niman Ranch Dinner
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT-A pairing of 6 year aged Mad Angler whiskeys & heritage pork!\nPlease email us at rhcatering@zingermans.com to be added to the waiting list for this event.\nTuesday\, October 21st 6:30pm | Dinner Only  $95 | Dinner with Iron Fish Whiskey Flight  $110\nThe Roadhouse is honored to welcome our friends from Niman Ranch in California and Iron Fish Distillery from Thompsonville\, Michigan on Tuesday\, October 21st! We will host an unforgettable 4-course dinner featuring the recently released award-winning Mad Angler whiskey collection from Iron Fish\, carefully paired by our bar manager Felipe Diaz with unforgettable dishes crafted by Chef Bob to highlight our mouthwatering Niman Ranch heritage pork. This is a night you do not want to miss\, as we bring together the best of our food and beverage communities for one incredible evening with stories from Niman Ranch co-founder Paul Willis and our friends from Iron Fish!\n\nIron Fish was founded in 2016\, as Michigan’s first farm distillery growing grain and distilling spirits\, and barrel finishing sourced whiskey. Located along the Betsie River watershed\, home of the Steelhead\, this MAEAP certified working farm and distillery attracts over 100\,000 guests annually to the agricultural destination\, reborn on a long-time abandoned 120-acre farm located in rural Springdale Township in Manistee County. They are pledged to produce their spirits sustainably\, with a deep commitment to protecting the local ecosystem and watersheds\n \nEvery step of their soil-to-spirit process\, starting in their farm fields where they grow and harvest their own grain to milling\, mashing\, fermenting and distilling and barrel aging occurs on site. The Mad Angler collection\, just released in July of 2025\, is comprised of three estate whiskeys distilled from grain grown on their farm and from nearby farms. The flight we are featuring at the dinner includes all three whiskeys from the collection: the Bottle In Bond\, the Bourbon Whiskey\, and the Rye Whiskey\, all aged on site for 6 years and all Ascot Medal winners. \n\nOver the years\, the Roadhouse has been honored to prepare and serve pork from Niman Ranch. Bill Niman and Paul Willis started up the pork division of Niman Ranch in 1994 with a mission to raise livestock traditionally\, humanely and sustainably to produce the finest tasting meat in the world. We purchase our spare ribs from Niman Ranch because we prioritize high-quality sustainable ingredients\, but also because Niman Ranch supports small\, local farmers. So when it came to creating a menu worthy of the Iron Fish Mad Angler whiskey collection\, there was no question when it came to featuring Niman Ranch heritage pork. \n\nWith a mouthwatering menu including artisanal charcuterie\, rich pork stew\, bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin\, Boudin sausage and more\, and the warm\, complex flavors of the Mad Angler whiskeys\, the Iron Fish & Niman Ranch dinner will connect us with a well-forged community of talented producers. Do not miss the incredible stories we will hear from Paul Willis and our friends from Iron Fish throughout the evening\, as we savor amazing spirits and indulge in one of the best menus Chef Bob has created yet!

SUMMARY:Silk Roads at the Roadhouse: A Flavor Odyssey Comes to Ann Arbor
