This week's big event, the Great American Beer Festival, presents an excellent opportunity for breweries to team up with local restaurants in food and beer pairings. While the festival itself may be sold out, you can still participate in one of the many beer dinners taking place throughout town in the coming weeks.
We've compiled a list of the beer-centric food events that we will update with more events as the week goes by.
Check out Euclid Hall's "Road to GABF" dinner series, featuring partnerships with local breweries like Crooked Stave on Thursday, September 17. Kick off the weekend of GABF with the 5th annual Avery Midnight Breakfast at 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 24.
On Tuesday, September 22, Rebel Restaurant will host a beer dinner with TRVE and Ratio.
