The UltiMAte Beer Dinner presented by the Massachusetts Brewers Guild
| Craft brewers from around the state will gather on February 27th to provide Massachusetts beer lovers with the chance of a lifetime. The UltiMAte Beer Dinner, presented by the Massachusetts Brewers Guild, will offer attendees the opportunity to enjoy an array of their favorite Massachusetts-brewed beers while mingling with brewery owners and brewmasters. The event, which will be held at the Exchange Conference Center on Boston’s historic waterfront, will be the ultimate beer experience for those interested in learning about the thriving culture of beer in Massachusetts, and for those thirsty for great, local beer!
The UltiMAte Beer Dinner will begin with a beer and hors d’oeuvre reception featuring limited release beers that are not available throughout the state. Brewery owners and brewmasters will sample their world-class beers, encouraging conversation about the beer and answering questions about brewing in the Bay State. Renowned for fresh, local fare, Legal Sea Foods Executive Chef Rich Vellante collaborated with the Massachusetts brewers to create a menu that demonstrates how the diverse flavors of beer work together with food to enhance one another. Following the reception guests will be seated alongside brewers for a stunning 5-course meal, thoughtfully prepared using local ingredients. Each course will be paired with a selection of Massachusetts-brewed beers that complement each dish. “We are proud that Massachusetts is home to some of the world’s best craft beer,” says Rob Martin, president of the Massachusetts Brewers Guild and founder of The Ipswich Ale Brewery. “We are excited to bring back the UltiMAte Beer Dinner for its second year. This event is a celebration of great Massachusetts beer paired with incredible dishes. It is indeed the ultimate experience for local beer and food lovers.” The UltiMAte Beer Dinner will begin at 7:00 pm on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at the Exchange Conference Center, located at 212 Northern Avenue, Boston. The cost is $125 per person, including tax & gratuity. Tickets can be purchased on the Massachusetts Brewers Guild website at www.massbrewersguild.org.
