Beer: It's what's for dinner. Or, at least, it is this week. Beer dinners, tap takeovers, beer pairings; there's a lot of brews to be had in South Florida. Must be getting close to Oktoberfest. In the meantime, after the jump, find a roundup of food- and drink-related events this week in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Tuesday
Shipyard Beer Dinner
50 Ocean Delray has put together a four-course dinner in which all dishes will be paired with Shipyard Brewing Company quaffs. And, yes, Pumpkin Head is featured. The cost is $49 per person and the dinner is 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. Call 561-278-3364.
Terrapin Tap Takeover
Tap 42, evidently big fans of alliteration, are hosting a Terrapin tap takeover from 7 to close with brews like Samurai Krunkles, Oak-Aged Big Hoppy Monster, Hopsecutioner, and Pumpkinfest, among others. Like the brewery's turtle mascot, slow and steady consumption will win this hop-filled race. A representative from the brewery will be on hand to discuss the brews.
Wednesday
Beer and cheese pairing
The Blind Monk in West Palm Beach is hosting a beer and cheese pairing with five different beers coupled with five gourmet cheeses. Limited seating is available so call 561-833-3605 to book a spot. The tasting is at 8 p.m.
