The Hog's Apothecary Releases Latest Menu Items

The Hog's Apothecary, an up-and-coming American-style beer hall on 40th Street, recently released photos of food it plans to serve when it opens in late April/early May of this year.

From pretzels and sausages to a fennel-rubbed porchetta, owners Bradford Earle and John Stewart-Streit showed their Facebook following three mouth-watering menu items (see photos above). They will accompany the myriad of brews on draft.

The recipes come from Stewart-Streit, who has been cooking in the area for the past decade.

"I've been toying around with meat products for quite a while," he said.

He said he wants to embrace local sourcing, attempt to use organic products when possible and "have the highest quality of standards in place but also offer something fairly pedestrian."

Though they had originally planned to open this month to capitalize on Beer Week, Earle said it was an unreasonable expectation.

However, he said they are on schedule to open mid-year.

"Overall, things are going according to plan," he said.
