I saw your write-up on the Flat Earth dinner Kris, there seem to be more and more of these events taking place, which is a very good thing.

Sounds like a great time and equally as pleasant as the Flat Earth beer dinner I went to at The Dining Studio last week. So pleased that there are enlightened folks out there willing to offer these dinners.

I was amazed at how well the Cynic went with the salad…something about the clove/spicy characteristics of the beer mixed with the herbs and a bit of the lemon vinaigrette. The opah and III were also great together.

I’ve enjoyed the Gnome on several occasions. Have never had a bad experience there and the brew list is terrific…and extensive.

Very jealous, sounds like a great night. And you’re right, pairings are about food and drink, it could be tea, wine, beer, whatever.

It was a great night. I love how more people are beginning to realize that food pairings are not restricted to wine alone. I think the argument could be made that the greater variety in beer styles actually makes it a more versatile food companion.
