Five Courses with
Special and Limited-Release Creature Comforts Brews, a Live Auction, and Raffle next Friday, April 22, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Cheers Y'all!
It’s about to be
on next Friday! I am teaming up with one of the best breweries in the nation,
Georgia’s own Creature Comforts, along with the great Chef Nick Leahy
for a beer dinner on April 22 starting at 6:30. The official write up is below and the link is here.
You know how I
love beer dinners! From pairing food with the world’s best beverage to actually
indulging, this is one of my favorite things to do; Chef Nick and I killed it when we did one last year at Saltyard. This time, I will be giving away some
slick prizes at the end via a raffle. Proceeds help the The Farmer Fund,
an initiative that helps Georgia farmers maintain production when dealing with
natural disasters.
Come through!
Ale
