Monteith's Beer & Wild Food Challenge
13 Jul 2008  - 03 Aug 2008

Winter taste-buds throughout the country are set for a tantalising test with the return of the annual Monteith’s Beer and Wild Food Challenge in July and August.

The ultimate challenge for participating restaurants is to create a culinary sensation using a range of wild food. Wild food is defined as anything that is not usually raised on a farm. The most successful dishes are a combination of rare ingredients, unusual cooking methods and exotic presentation.

Any restaurant, café, pub or bar stocking the full range of Monteith’s beers can enter in either the informal or formal categories; the formal category creating a two-course meal with beer matches and the informal category creating a single course with a beer match.

The Monteith’s Beer and Wild Food Challenge kicks off in the North Island on 13 July and finishes on 3 August. It begins in the South Island a week later, with the event running from 20 July until 10 August.
