Booze 'N' Food 2024 - Taste of Middle Earth

Our Chefs have paired 6 scratch-made courses utilizing as much local flavor and ingredients as possible in each dish then cooked and served with their corresponding barrel aged beer (listed below).

This is our "Lord of the Rings" themed dinner and One of TWO final full tapping of the 2024 barreled beers. We couldn't be more delighted to pair them with the immense skill our chefs have shown.

As a Bonus to this incredible dinner oppurtunity, You'll have the chance to purchase any 2024 bottle, as well as the last few boxes of 2022/2023 bottles, at 20% discount. We might even bring out a few special bottles from the from the cellar at a premium
