Just like a wine dinner, but with specific beers chosen to complement each course. Try it sometime!

Our hockey team has as sponsors Heinekin, Molson and Fosters, and High Falls brewery makers of Genessee, 12 Horse ale, Honey Brown, etc. So I am partial to those, but if I had my druthers..
I love a nice Black and Tan with Harp and Guinness, my old roomie at NECI made a great Black and Tan using homemade smoked beer.
But I also love Oranjeboom!

Any one know of a menu for a Beer Dinner posted on the net any where? I would like to see what others have done! That sounds like a lot of fun.

Shroomgirl-sounds like New Belgium Night. My favorite of the bunch is still Fat Tire. Got some in the fridge right now. Menu looks very good too.

So how much beer do you get with each meal? I may be a light weight but, a pint with each course would pretty much do me in!

Who distributes Fat Tire Amber Ale? With a name like that it hase to be good.

Do you guys get Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on the east coast? Or Wolavers? God, they are good!

We get Sierra Nevada. Used to drink some years ago, but then switched to Catamount, made in Vermont. Last I heard Catamount went out of business and now Harpoon is being made at their brewery in Hartland (VT).

Have you come across Utah Phillips out there in Nevada City?

Edit: For those who don't know about Utah, he's not a beer.

The tab sounds reasonable, but the price may be really... high!

Hey Nick-- I don't know if Dean Martin said that. I know Frank Sinatra uses the line in Sinatra at The Sands , which if you've never heard it, you really should.

Bighat - I saw that at another site and it was attributed to Dean and knowing his fondness for the juice it sounded like a natural for him. But I just did a search on it and Sinatra's the man. You're right.

In my search I came across this from the late great Frank Zappa.

"You can't have a Real Country unless you have a BEER and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a BEER."


Edit: For other great and not so great beer quotes -

Man I never heard of any of the beers you all are talking about! Any way to get them over here, Nor Cal?
