In addition to the “feature” of Dave breaking down an entire boer goat into specific meals live for his guests (utilizing the entire goat!), owners Mike Azalini and Mike Moore will be presenting appetizers and entrees featuring goat prepared by Dave matched with some of the three hundred-plus Trappist style, craft brewed ales they regularly serve at La Trappe.
