Lyon Hall cooks dinner for Heavy Seas Brewery.

Lyon Hall is a brasserie in Clarendon, Virginia. There, for Tuesday, 6 March, Beer Director David McGregor has organized a Heavy Seas Beer Dinner.

Executive chef Liam LaCivita and chef de cuisine Andy Bennett will prepare four courses, each of which they'll serve with a different beer from Heavy Seas Brewing, of Baltimore, Maryland. Jonathan McIntire —the local representative for the brewery— will present the Heavy Seas beers.

But, there is a twist. McGregor will offer an alternate beer choice for each course, and diners can choose their preference.
