The special pairing dinners continue with Burt & Max’s beer dinner on Aug. 29, featuring local brews from Due South Brewery.
It’s a five-course dinner, from 6 to 9 p.m., and Executive Chef Chris Miracolo will guide you through the pairings. Helping him do that will be Doug Fairall of Due South. Dishes include wahoo, chai-brined pork belly, salad and more. Beers include Lemon Coastline Lager, Caramel Cream Ale, Throwin’ Shade IPA and more—including a chocolate berry porter for dessert, which just sounds amazing.
Reservations are required; cost is $69 per person.
