Join us for our 3rd Annual Brewer’s Dinner Series, again featuring award-winning Fort George Brewery.
Chefs Christian & Janelle bring their globetrotting and Michelin-star kitchen experience to our farm for hyperlocal dinners featuring fresh, no-spray produce. "Farm-to-plate" is a common term, but these experiences take it to the next level – you'll dine surrounded by the very fields where your vegetables, herbs, and fruits were grown.
The event will begin with a welcome pour 5:00-5:30pm and the evening will include another four specially selected and paired pours (approximately 5-6 ounces each) as well as insightful introductions about the beer and the pairing from Fort George's Founder and Brewers.
Menus for these multi-course meals are typically designed in the final days before the dinner in order to use the freshest and best produce from the farm and will include two proteins. To get a taste of our a few of the past dinners, click here.
