Quasi-Press Release Friday: Upcoming Beer Dinners At The Old Fashioned

Posted by Jeff
So, normally, I don't publish this kind of material without an "official" press release. I don't really see my job as a PR flack for companies too cheap to hire their own PR flack. But, sometimes events are too awesome to wait around for someone send me a press release about it, and I feel like I just need to tell you about it so that you can plan your week around attending it.

The Old Fashioned, in conjunction with Harvest, is doing two more dinners over the next couple of weeks that you are going to want to attend. I went to the one this past week with Titletown, and it was phenomenal. Unlike other beer dinners that I've been to, you definitely don't leave hungry and you definitely aren't getting taster-glasses of beer. It is a full dining experience.

Harvest's chef, and the folks at the Old Fashioned, did a fantastic job of pulling together food that thoughtfully complimented each of the beers - from a simple pilsner to a big, hoppy IIPA to a dopplebock, to an Alt.

Next week is a beer dinner for Potosi Brewing Company. And the following week is Red Eye Brewing Company. So, give Old Fashioned a call and pray to God that they have openings, because these dinners promise to be worth every dime you'll shell out.

  3. What is a beer dinner exactly? I just moved here recently from Iowa. Are they expensive? What can we expect at them?

  4. Ok, so it's not really a beer dinner, but...
    Barriques in Fitchburg has beer tastings that are sit-down events with cheese/meat/food pairings. Limited seating and $15/person
    reservations are required.
    email david@barriquemarket.com for more info or to make reservations
    cheers, david
