San Antonio chef Nicola Blaque and Weathered Souls Brewing Co. are bringing their James Beard Award-nominated wares together on a new culinary venture called Barrel and Bloom.
Barrel and Bloom will occupy the kitchen at Weathered Souls, 606 Embassy Oaks, Suite 500, and serve up Blaque's Caribbean jerk-infused cuisine alongside the brewery's craft beers, according to the owners of the two businesses.
The new dining spot's dishes will include smash burger sliders dressed with a hop-infused aioli, street tacos and a grilled watermelon salad featuring a watermelon champagne vinaigrette. Each dish is crafted to enhance one or more of Weathered Souls' craft brews, officials said.
Blaque — who owns and operates San Antonio's acclaimed The Jerk Shack, Mi Roti and newcomer Freight Fried Chicken — has carved a culinary niche with an innovative approach to Caribbean cuisine.
Weathered Souls gained national recognition with its groundbreaking Black Is Beautiful initiative, which
raised more than $2 million for social justice groups following the 2020 deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Brewery co-founder Marcus Baskerville has expanded his reach to include an incubator program that helps members of underrepresented groups get a leg up in the craft-beer industry. Weathered Souls also opened a satellite location in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Barrel and Bloom will hold a soft opening April 25, featuring an abbreviated food menu that will expand in the coming weeks, officials said. Past that, the eatery will operate 3-9 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon-8 p.m. Sunday.
