MENU for “Fire in the Ford” Museum Dinner Night at McGreivey’s
Appetizers served from 6-7pm .
Union Jack I.P.A. - Union Jack abounds with hop aroma and character. In fact this well balanced, west coast IPA is double dry hopped, giving it more and more of the grapefruit, citrus hop aroma and flavor it is known for. Overall it utilizes over four pounds of pacific-northwest hops per barrel. 7.5% ABV
Smoked Chicken & Tomatillo Chili, with blue corn tortilla strips
Double Jack I.P.A - Features a big malty middle to cloak the high alcohol and mouth puckering hop bitterness. Huge tangerine, grapefruit and juicy fruit aroma blossom over the herbal blue basil and malt earthiness of this aggressive beer. 9% ABV
Seared Ahi Tuna with Seaweed Salad and wasabi soy dressing
Firestone Walker Seasonal Offering TBD
Espresso rubbed Flat Iron steak with warm chipotle tomato jam and black Porter demi .Served with Chef Art’s deconstructed “Colcannon”.
Walker's Reserve Porter - Is an elegant dark ale featuring robust flavors of toffee, caramel and bittersweet chocolate. This brew employs five specialty malts, as well as oat and barley flakes, for added complexity and flavor. 5.9% ABV
Chocolate Cherry Trifle with coconut pudding and toasted almond granola.
Sucaba Barley Wine - Big boozy bourbon and American oak aromas combined with soft chocolate malty undertones. Complex malt flavors framed in oak, with hints of dark chocolate, vanilla, tobacco, coconut and just a touch of dark cherry. This is definitely a sipping beer. 13% ABV

Docent Training
This season we will have two separate training classes. The Practical Training class will cover docent responsibilities as well as address new Museum policies. The Understanding the Exhibit class will lend insight into the latest exhibit. The classes are free and open to anyone interested in serving as a volunteer guide at the Museum. All classes are held at the Museum. Contact Aine at 238-0809 or dvc@waterfordmuseum.com to sign up. If you are interested in either of these classes but are unable to attend the dates offered, please contact Aine to make other arrangements.
REQUIRED: Practical Training (choose one) Tuesday, April 17: 9:00-10:30am OR 6:30-8:00pm
Tuesday, May 1: 9:00-10:30am OR 6:30-8:00pm
RECOMMENDED: Understanding the Exhibit Tuesday, May 8: 9:00-10:30am OR 6:30-8:00pm
Volunteer docent shifts are Sunday afternoons from 2-4pm, and occasionally some Saturday shifts (10am-1pm; 1pm-4pm) as well. We are also interested in expanding into weekday shifts on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays (10am-2pm). By doing so, Museum staff will be able to focus on research, planning, and implementation of WHMCC’s programs, presentations, and preservation projects with the knowledge that our weekday visitors are in the capable hands of our trained docents.
