The good folks at Harris Distributing were kind enough to put aside some of the otherwise unavailable Pepe Nero for this dinner, so you can be the first on your block to get some.
There’s a purity and sense of peace with all these beers and, if you haven’t found your way to them yet, you’re going to want to as the weather warms a bit. The Summertime Ale, obviously and specifically, is going to be a great warm weather brew, but I would imagine that any would do the trick.
I was particularly enamored with the 312 Urban Wheat. It had many of the flavor profiles you expect from a wheat, but they were dialed back just a touch and replaced with a brightness and clarity that some of the more effusive ones can lack.
The IPA was just bounding from the glass with floral notes. Had this meal been scheduled for the summer, I’d have found some rose petals and done the notorious quail in rose petal sauce from the book and movie “Like Water for Chocolate”. However, I got just as much jasmine from it and there was a curious green apple thing going on as well. So, let’s see what happens.
All said, I do think this is going to be a lovely meal paired with some outstanding beers. Come on down and join us.

Do you accommodate people with dietary restrictions (pescatarians, in our case) at your beer dinners? If not, I understand.
Absolutely and we do it all the time. Of course, we also schedule vegetarian and pescetarian dinners as well. But, to answer your question, at nearly every dinner we do, there’s someone with a dietary restriction and we’re always happy to take care of them.
That’s great to hear. Thanks!
Does one need reservations for this dinner? Are they still available?
Same question…is there a link to buy tickets in advance or do we just show up for dinner?
We don’t sell tickets but reservations are very strongly encouraged. Both because there’s a limited number of seats available and both because we prepare food based on the number we expect. Every now and then we’re able to squeeze in a last minute table, but sometimes we can’t.
I’d like to attend the 26-Sept-2012 beer dinner, but my wife can’t drink beer due to a gluten allergy. Is is possible for her to do the dinner, sans beer, at a reduced price?
Your wife is certainly not alone in that regard and we’re happy to offer her wine or other drinks in place or even, of course, just do the dinner without beer for a lower cost.
