OctoBeer Fest 4-7, 2009 at David Burke Primehouse

There is no denying I love beer, so its only natural to celebrate my passion of brewing beer, drinking beer and cooking with all of you.  I will kick off OctoBeer Fest at David Burke Primehouse with a homebrew dinner.  I know other chefs have helped “make” a beer for a dinner, but I truely have brewed every beer featured at my homebrew dinner.  I think that this unique approach of making not only the food but also the beverages will make for a remarkable dinner.  The following three days I leave the brewing to the pros and I’ll stay in the kitchen. 

Daily beer reception from 630-7:15 pm 

Dinner starts at 7:30 pm 

4 course meal costs 55 per person plus tax and gratuity Purchase 2 separate dinners for $95 or Purchase all 16 courses (all four seperate dinners) $175
