by Drink DC in Event Listing

Are you a fan of Hair of the Dog Fred? How about Alaskan Smoked Porter or Alchemist Heady Topper? If you’ve not yet had the chance to try these gems, there’s a reason: they are very hard to come by in the D.C. area. Now’s your chance: DCBeer.com will bring those out-of-market brews plus more to their second annual Bootlegger’s Beer Dinner, going down on Tuesday, January 31 at Smith Commons.

Five courses of chef Carlos Delgado’s creative fare (think lime and orange macarons with foie gras mousse or shirmp dumplings with dashi, quail and yuzu) will be paired with five fantastic beers at this $75 per person affair, which gets underway at 7 PM with a single seating.
