Dinner with a Brewer

At Chef JJ’s Back Yard, we want our brewer’s dinners to be something different. We want education to be a focal point as the evening unfolds. The food and beers will complement each other.  Ultimately, we want you as a guest, to realize that beer can be treated like a wine and become a staple to any dinner that you may have in the future. The education piece will be presented to you as a “beer class” like structure. Featured Brewers will focus on history, why different types of beer are called what  (lager vs. ale, etc.) and what makes their beer different.

Food and Beer Pairings

Each course will be served with a half pint of the pre-determined beer. At the beginning of each course the brewers will revert back to the “beer class.” They will briefly describe the beer you are drinking and what profiles will be more prominent because of the food that it is paired with. Chef JJ will then explain why he choose the certain dish and flavors for that specific beer.  This will allow for you, as a guest, to think beyond the beverage and start to link the pleasures of food and beer together. All the food served will come off of the Big Green Egg, Back Yard’s exclusive and only grilling device.

Atmosphere

We want everyone to feel relaxed at these dinners as well as feel comfortable to engage in conversation about beer and food. Conversation is key as well as interaction. We would like to offer each of our guests a different experience than they could have at any other brewer’s dinner.  Most importantly, we want everyone to enjoy great beer and great food!

Tickets are $65 plus gratuity.  It’s $25 to reserve your seat and the remainder of the ticket will be charged the night of.
