Beer Dinner Tonight at Caribe

By on September 23, 2011in beer dinners, beer events

There are still spots open for tonight’s amazing beer dinner at Caribe in St Paul, featuring a five-course meal prepared by Chef Tony Panelli. What makes this event extra-special is that Certified Cicerone and Midwest Sales Manager of Artisanal Imports Adam Schulte (formerly of the Ale Jail and recently-relocated to Chicago), will be on hand to guide you through the imported beers he’s chosen especially for the meal.

What are the beers? Well it’s Artisanal Imports so only the finest (in this case) Belgian & Dutch delicacies…..Deus, St-Feuillien, La Trappe Dubbel, Triple Karmeliet, Pauwel Kwak, Urthel Samaranth and maybe a special surprise we’re told. And the menu is quite impressive too 🙂

View the full menu and other essential details here. Seats are $78. No reservation is necessary.
