Field Notes 🍺 A Fruited Pale Ale from @rivalbrewvancey of @back40bham brewed with carrot juice, yuzu, and ginger and paired with our Second Bite at Southern Brewsine Brunch Vol. 2. Bright, citrusy, and a little unexpected, which is exactly how we like it. Tickets are SOLD OUT but stay tuned for what’s next!!!

Back 40 Valentine’s Day Tasting Menu and Beer Pairing

@back40bham

At Back 40 Brewing, @russbodner flawlessly executes one of Birmingham’s most beloved burgers. When you think of Back 40, you might think of burgers, pizza, and beer. Each Valentine’s Day, though, they prepare a 5 course elevated beer dinner for guests. We enjoy is so much, we have now gone 3 years in a row!

As you walk into the back barrel room, wooden tables are adorned with flowers, cloth napkins, and a swath of utensils. As we sat down, sparkling rosé arrived at our table to begin the night.

Before the seated dinner began, a series of snacks were brought to our table, including various types of nigiri, yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), and pork belly skewers. Both skewers were slightly sticky with rich honey and soy flavors that paired nicely with a sake!

We were served our favorite dish of the night first, a lobster salad topped with shiitake mushrooms. Chef thoughtfully placed the lemon-soy dressing on the base of the plate and instructed us to mix the dressing into the salad. This kept the salad greens from becoming soggy.

Next, black cod, seasoned with coriander, was placed on top of a cauliflower puree. The fish was cooked to perfection and the cauliflower puree added a sweet component to the dish.

After the black cod, we were served rabbit ravioli. The al dente ravioli was stuffed with parmesan cheese and then topped with wild winter mushrooms and black truffles. There is no better combination of flavors!

The last savory course was beef tenderloin paired with roasted, garlicky potatoes and creamed nettles. The tenderloin was a large serving, however, we would have liked to see a tad more salt added. The creamed nettles were a great addition to the dish, with their mild parmesan flavor.

For our last course we were served strawberry shortcake, but with a twist, as the biscuit was chocolate. In between the biscuit was whipped vanilla cream and then topped with strawberries.

With each course, head brewer @rivalbrewvancey served various Back 40 beers. Our favorite, the Brr Baby White Stout! While it is not canned, you can fill a growler while this beer is on tap!

Rehearsal 2/7/2026
I am free, I am free
Some wounds don’t heal but I can see
I am free like a giggling baby climbing up the stairs right under daddy
I am free when I speak truth to power
But I am free when I don’t lash out in anger
I am a boom-bap snare on a lunch room dare yeah
I am that damn song that brings you back from despair
I am love, I’m not hate, I don’t care how long it take
Be who you wanna be, I am free

See y’all 2/28 at @hotboxonhighland with @matthewloganvasquez ~ & 🌮 by @cenaduriamorelia 🧡

🍺MEET THE BREWER: James Vance @rivalbrewvancey
James will be brewing the beer paired with our Carrot Cake with Pineapple Bourbon Icing, a dessert as bold and layered as his brewing journey.
When he’s not behind the tanks, James is behind the lens. He develops his own film and is diving into cinematography, always exploring new ways to capture craft and creativity.
His brewing story started in 2007 as a homebrewer, eventually taking him through the Southeast with Iron Heart Canning Co. before joining a Birmingham-based brewery, where he worked his way from cellarman to Director of Operations. Now in his third year as Head Brewer at @back40bham , James continues to blend precision and artistry, one pint at a time.
Favorite style: “I honestly have no idea because it changes all the time, but if I had to choose one beer to drink for the rest of my life it would probably be a Märzen or Vienna Lager. A little malty but clean. Refreshing, yet with a bit more body and depth than lighter styles. Overall, I’m a big lager fan in general.”
Favorite pairing: “A cold beer and the feeling of having clocked out for the week. Haha.” Trust me, you don’t want to miss this delicious pairing!
