About this Event

Our Chef & Brewer Curated Food & Beer Dinner returns for lucky #13 with Hops & Horrors, a one-night-only Halloween dining experience inspired by some of the most iconic scary movies.

Join us on Monday, October 19th for five creative courses from Chef Aaron and team, each thoughtfully paired with a First State Brewing beer selected by brewers AJ and Matt to complement the flavors of the dish. From Jason Voor-Cheese and Jaws: Amity Island Crudo to Silence of the Lambchops and Stay Puft Marshmallow Campfire, every course brings a little horror-movie fun to the table.

Throughout the evening, you will be guided through each pairing, sharing the inspiration behind what’s on your plate, what’s in your glass, and why the two work together.

Doors open at 5:45 PM and dinner begins at 6 PM.

Tickets are $79 per person and include all five courses, beer pairings, fees and gratuity.

Seating is limited to 60 guests, so grab your tickets early!
