Before sampling what a Florida brewery has to offer later in September, you will have the opportunity to show some support for our brewing neighbors to the north. On Monday, September 13 at Enzian Theater will be a beer dinner featuring Terrapin Beer Company’s brews paired with the food of Chef Charles Hamilton. Terrapin Brew Master Brian “Spike” Buckowski will also be on hand to guide you through the meal and to further discuss pairing beer with food.
Chef Charles Hamilton
There are a limited number of tickets for this event and it is not often that beer dinners like these do not sell out in advance. After seeing the menu and the beers that will be served (see below with some notes on the beer in italics), I would not wait too long to reserve your spot.

Course 1 - Terrapin Sunray Wheat (Hefeweizen sweetened with Tupelo honey) paired with seasoned goat cheese, sun-dried tomato tapenade, and fried basil on a cracker.
