All of that food sounds delicious and that's all I have to say.
Very interesting, it just seems like a bit much. At least it's a high-brow brewers dinner?
At first I was pissed that St. Elmo's would decide to host a beer dinner that supports the notion that AB is beer. Now I'm just amused that someone would pay $75 to attend a beer dinner that includes an AB beer called Beech Bum Blonde!
Ugh. If they have to go with AB, why not at least promote their new Michelob concept as the "craft beer" wing of the company?
i've tried that wild blue whatever it was... and while my expectations were not very high, it sure did fall short anyway.
yuck.
I have never heard of the Wild Blue lager. But I will take Mike's word on it and just avoid it. I have to admit that I actually chortled to see the term "paired with Budweiser" in there.
I will take a pass on this one. Some of the food sounds great but that beer selection is pretty ludicrous for $75.
