BetterBeerBlog Private Event

The staff at BetterBeerBlog hosted a Beer and Food Event for a private party. Normally we would do about 6 dishes or so but to keep the cost of the event manageable yet interesting, the original menu was paired down to four courses.
All in all, the shortened menu allowed for a more relaxed pace as people were able to mingle freely between courses. We initially were worried that we weren’t going to have enough food but those fears were quickly put to rest.
