The Lion, The Bear & The Brewmaster: Firestone-Walker beer dinner with Hosea Rosenberg, 10/10, 6:30pm
So this should be a hootenanny. Kicking off the Great American Beer Festival Tuesday from 6:30-9:30 pm at Mile High Station, the folks from Paso Robles’ Firestone Walker Brewing Company will be in town to pour, & I quote, “4 barrel-aged anniversary ales from our library, specifically rare sold-out vintages: XII, XIII, XIV and XV.” Blackbelly Catering’s Hosea Rosenberg of Top Chef’s season 5 will be doing the culinary honors—quite a menu, eh? At $75 per person, tickets include not only food & beer samples but also a souvenir snifter. Availability is limited. Get yours here.
A little pricey, but Firestone Walker makes some great beers. They had one a few years back called “Velvet Merkin,” which they changed to “Velvet Merlin” when they decided to sell it nationally.
