Second Course - Potato Leek Soup with Bleu Cheese Crostini.
Beer Pairing - 1919 Choc

Beer Pairing - Basement Batch Pale Ale

Fourth Course - Black Lager Baked Bon Bons Topped with a Chocolate Ganache
Beer Pairing - Miner's Mishap

Michael Lalli, head brewmaster of Choc Brewing, will be attending the dinner in order to offer his extensive beer knowledge, and answer any questions. I had the chance to visit with him a few weeks back when I toured the brewery, and I think anyone would enjoy meeting him and listening to him talk about beer.

The dinner begins at 7pm and the cost is $40 per person (tax and gratuity not included). To make a reservation, call the pub at 382-PINT, or email info@mcnellies.com.
