About this event
- Event lasts 3 hours
We are ecstatic to celebrate our lucky 13th birthday at West Sixth with another year of Local Mash!
On Thursday, March 27th from 6:00 - 9 pm we will host eight restaurants from our city, representing various kitchen styles and cuisines! These talented chefs will be creating perfectly paired small plates to go with selected West Sixth brews, demonstrating the magic and range of beer & food pairings!
Like last year, our Local Mash event will be held throughout all of West Sixth! We’re shutting down the taproom to invite in only our Local Mash ticketholders. That means more space to eat, drink, and mingle!
Huge thanks to our presenting sponsor, Traditional Bank, for help making this elevated Local Mash experience possible!
The West Sixth Taproom will close at 4:30 pm the day of Local Mash to give our chefs time to set up.
Included in your $70 ticket will be one small plate from all 8 chefs, a corresponding 6oz pairing of beer for each plate, and a specialty tasting glass that's yours to take home.
The event is passport style all throughout West Sixth (no reserved "seats" or traditional table set up) - you'll receive a menu passport when you check-in and visit chefs at stations around the brewery. You'll pick up the dish from each chef (in any order!) and get your specialty Local Mash glass filled with the corresponding brew. Move around, mingle, and enjoy some great food & beer!
The taproom bar will be open during the event for Local Mash patrons to purchase full pours of beers, non-beer drinks, etc.
Our 2025 Local Mash Restaurants are:
- County Club
- Smithtown Seafood
- Zim’s Café
- West Sixth Cantina
- Mileta
