Chef & Brewer Curated Food & Beer Experience #9

This is not your typical beer dinner... Our Chef, Aaron McCauley, has developed a delicious 5 course food menu inspired by the Appalachian mountains. In addition, all of the courses are artfully paired with a diverse array of beer styles. This unique experience will be guided by Jeff Horne, Certified Cicerone®, who will discuss food & beer pairing concepts and how to properly taste beer.
