A Thanksgiving-Inspired Beer Dinner at Cruz Blanca
On Thursday, November 20th, Cruz Blanca Brewery invites you to Beersgiving—a five-course beer dinner dedicated to food, friends, and fiesta. Our chefs are putting a Mexican twist on Thanksgiving classics, with each course paired to perfection with small-batch ales and lagers brewed in-house.
Hosted in collaboration by Head Brewer Jacob Sembrano and Executive Chef Brian Enyart, this special evening brings together the best of Cruz Blanca’s brewing and culinary teams for a one-night-only celebration.
Gather your amigos to eat, drink, and celebrate a night of gratitude, flavor, and community at Cruz Blanca.
