Parallel Post Hosts Onyx Moonshine Pairing Dinner on Sept 4

Parallel Post is hosting an Onyx Moonshine Dinner Pairing, celebrating Onyx Moonshine, the 2014 International Craft Award winner and local craft spirit. Onyx Moonshine is also the first legal ultra-premium moonshine brand and is home based in East Hartford, Conn. 

Scheduled for Thursday, September 4 from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., the Onyx Moonshine Dinner Pairings event will provide guests with a unique opportunity to savor an exclusive culinary menu accented with Onyx Moonshine flavorings including the original Onyx Moonshine, Sweet Stash, Onyx 111, Apple Honey Infusion, and Cape Cod Cranberry.  

Chef de Cuisine, Ali Goss and Executive Chef, Chris Molyneux of Parallel Post will delight guests with a speak-easy atmosphere staged by Parallel Post and Onyx Moonshine, while delighting the palate with a five-course tasting menu flavored with varieties of moonshine, and accompanied with glass samplings served by Onyx Moonshine representatives.  Event attendees will also have the opportunity to be educated on the symbolic and once outlawed liquor, while also sipping additional cocktail creations presented by Parallel Post’s resident mixologist, Greg Genias aka “Bootleg Greg.”


The menu for the event - much like Parallel Post’s weekly-changing restaurant menu – focuses on localism and follows the philosophy that natural and sustainable products, and responsible farming, are the key components in ingredient selection.  The fare will feature Onyx Moonshine-infused dishes with local farm fresh offerings such as Drunken Scallop Ceviche, Gilbertie’s Fall Harvest Salad with cape cod cranberry moonshine vinaigrette and Prohibition Canapés. 


Tickets to the Parallel Post hosted Onyx Moonshine Dinner Pairings event are limited and are only available for advance purchase at $75.00 per person (tax and 18% gratuity not included) for guests 21 & over (valid driver license must be presented upon arrival).

Parallel Post 2014 Farm to Trumbull Dinner Events

Parallel Post is proud to announce their 2^nd annual four-part culinary dining series, Farm-To-Trumbull events!

The first event of this season's series launched in April and was a wonderful success! Don't worry! There's more to come - with the next to follow taking place Wednesday, June 4 at 7:00 p.m.  Inspired by the season, last year’s inaugural event was designed to provide an intimate experience for 30 guests led by James Beard-nominated Chef, Dean James Max; Executive Chef, Chris Molyneux; and Chef de Cuisine, Ali Goss of Parallel Post. 

This year promises to do the same!

For $75 per person (tax and 18 percent gratuity not included), guests can warm the palate with a welcome cocktail and sampling of small bites, followed by a family-style dinner ripe with the season’s finest local ingredients, wine pairings presented by Parallel Post’s resident mixologist, Greg Genias aka “Bootleg Greg,” and an all-you-can-indulge dessert bar.

The menus for the series - much like Parallel Post’s weekly-changing restaurant menu – focuses on localism and follows the philosophy that natural and sustainable products, and responsible farming, are the key components in ingredient selection.  The menu will be inspired by the farms’ fresh offerings of the day and as such, patrons will be invited to embrace their adventurous side with the Farm-to-Trumbull menu being revealed that evening. 

Parallel Post believes in strengthening the farming community and engages local purveyors for a majority of its ingredients – seafood from Norm Bloom & Sons in Norwalk, Conn. and Foley Fish in Boston, Mass.; meats from Ox Hollow Farm in Roxbury, Conn.; organic cheeses, milk and ice cream from The Farmer’s Cow in Lebanon, Conn.; and greens from Gilbertie’s Herb Gardens in Westport, Conn.
