BEER VS. WINE: Chef & Brewer Curated Food & Beer Experience

This isn’t your typical beer dinner… it’s Beer vs. Wine!

Our Head Chef, Juan Hernandez, has created a mouthwatering 5-course menu, and with each dish you’ll experience two pairings: one with craft beer and one with wine. Guiding you through the evening are Jeff Horne, Certified Cicerone®, representing beer, and Nick Sharp, our wine expert, WSET2 & Sommelier. You’ll learn pairing techniques, tasting notes, and ultimately decide for yourself which beverage reigns supreme with each course.

NOTE: This is 21+ event - please bring your ID. We are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions or food/drink substitutions for this event.
