Single-malt Scotch from Scotland. Traditional craft beers from Belgium.
It's practically National Drink Week at Morton's The Steakhouse.
No one's calling it that, but look at their calendar and you'll see why.
Wednesday, March 31: Tasting of The Glenlivet 12 Year Old, 15 Year Old, 16 Year Old and 18 Year Old Scotches.
Thursday, April 1: Tasting of Chimay Premier, Chimay Grand Cru, Chimay Cinq Cents, Chouffe Houblon IPA, Duvel and Duvel Green.
Each night Morton's will be putting up all kinds of hors d'oeuvres to pair with the beverages.
Each night a very helpful expert on the drink will be on hand to lead you through the tasting.
And each night's tasting runs from 6 to 7:30, which is that sweet spot of the evening after work but before you settle in for dinner.
Spend it with the Scots, or the Belgians, and walk away knowing a whole lot more about their National Drinks.
