Belmont’s Devil’s Canyon Brewing Company, along with the California Cafe in Palo Alto, are having a brewer’s dinner this coming Wednesday, July 21st. The last time I attended a brewer’s dinner featuring Devil’s Canyon Brewing, it was quite the affair; there was a Michelin-star winning chef at the helm and the food was as complicated as it was interesting. It was also $100 per person. Check the details below:

I learned about this dinner via Twitter. I am excited about this dinner for a few reasons: first, it’s an interesting menu. Frog legs? Nice. Second, at $35, the price point is very attractive and something both Mrs. BetterBeerBlog and I could afford going to. Hopefully we’ll see some of you there.
Devil’s Canyon had a beer dinner at the California Cafe last May that was excellent. Not sure whether or not we’ll make this one.
I was enjoying it until I reached dessert… root beer = ick.
Jen – I was going to see if you and Joey wanted to join us. Their root beer is their own and they used it last time I went to one of their dinners. It was surprising in the sense that the sum exceeded the parts.
You had me at “pork belly”
Joey – Strangely, I was sold at “frog’s legs”.
