A beer dinner, that is, a dinner in which each course is paired with a specific beer, does not have to be 'fancy.' But, at least for logic of flavor, the menu should be well thought out.
As an example: mushroom caps stuffed with artichokes and organic pesto and Parmesan, served with Flying Dog Brewery's Old Scratch Amber Lager. The beer's biscuity flavor was the 'cracker' to the pesto.
American Flatbread Restaurant in Clarendon, Virginia hosted its first ever beer dinner, Monday, 25 January 2010. The event featured the beers of Flying Dog Brewery of Frederick, Maryland.
