Last Year’s Craft Beer + Food…

The first-ever Craft Beer + Food event is in the books. It was a fantastic event. The food and beer pairings were sublime. The crowd walked away amazed by the beers and the food. Some photos of the event are included below.

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all of the participating breweries and restaurants, to the people who volunteered and helped us pull the event off, and to all of the people who attended and enjoyed the event.

Concept

Craft:Beer+Food celebrates the pairing of Seattle’s world class food and world class beer with an event that demonstrates how locally brewed craft beers can be part of an elegant dining experience. Craft:Beer+Food introduces food lovers to good beer, beer lovers to good food.

The chefs and the brewers make the decisions. Each brewery will be paired with a chef to create a unique food+beer pairing. Our intention is to make the introductions and facilitate the creativity. Ultimately, the chefs and the brewers determine what will be plated and poured.

At the event, each attendee will have the opportunity to enjoy all ten beer+food pairings. Each station will offer a sample of beer along with a taste of food.

Presented by

The event producers are Kendall Jones and Kim Sharpe Jones of the Washington Beer Blog, Washington state’s most respected, connected and well-read resource for craft beer news.
