Tonight is another in a series of beer/food events at my favorite watering hole. Again all the beers are from one brewery and a rep from that brewery (Hop Farm) will be on hand to discuss their offerings. Chef Brian Volmrich also will discuss each course and why he paired it.

> 1st course: Session IPA paired with garlic buttered poached crawfish & corn thermidor with chorizo.
> 
> 2nd course: One Nut Brown Ale paired with grilled pork medallions over wild brown rice & fall vegetables with carrot & honey nage
> 
> 3rd course: Sugar Plum Fairy (saison with plum, black currant, & spices) paired with Gorgonzola, apple & plum chutney, & cracker bread
> 
> 4th course: Blueberry Berliner (imperial Berliner weiss with blueberry) paired with lemon curd tartlet with ginger meringue & blueberry coulis
> 
> 5th course: Cherry Chocolate Stout paired with flourless chocolate cake, vanilla bean ice cream, warm brandied cherry compote, pistachio creme anglaise

Looking forward to it!!

Sounds fantastic!  
Just out of curiosity, what do they charge?

$45 a head. The beer is pretty much all you can drink, although realistically we all sit around for an hour or so or else have designated drivers to haul us home.

They also have a Top Shelf Thursday once a month. For $17 you sample ten different high end beers, picked to conform to a theme.

Good times!
