Garrett Oliver, the James Beard Award-winning brewer and cookbook author behind Brooklyn Brewery, is bringing exclusive suds to Boston on Monday, November 14th. Townsman plays host for the one-night-only beer dinner and chef Matt Jennings is pulling out all the stops for a seasonal five-course menu. Dishes like Sorachi Ace-cured fluke and pork sausage with roasted persimmon have been crafted to complement the brews, hand-picked by Oliver just for the occasion. Copies of The Brewmaster’s Table will be available for purchase during the dinner (6:00-10:00pm) and he’ll be on-hand to add his John Hancock. Take a look at the stand-out menu below, available for $176.39, including all tax, gratuity and fees—you can grab tickets online here while they last. Can’t make it to the dinner? Or looking for even more post-dinner beer fun? Oliver will stick around at the restaurant for an 11:00pm keg party with Brooklyn Brewery-inspired snacks from the kitchen. You can scoop up a $25 ticket, which includes your first beer and all the snacks, by calling Townsman at 617.993.0750.
