Here is the $30 3-Course "Cooking with Beer" Prix Fixe Menu we're offering right now for San Diego Beer Week, which started last night, Friday, Nov. 6th. It will most likely change a few times throughout the 10 day event, and of course our a la carte menu is also available all nights.

Gruit and Honey Glazed Ham with Butternut Squash and Green Beans
Paired with Green Flash Hop-less Ancient Gruit

Beer-Poached Figs with Goat Cheese Mousse
Paired with Airdale Homecoming Spiced Porter

And here's more info about the beers!

Airdale Afterburner Amber
A beautifully balanced amber ale. Combining a rich, malty aroma and flavor with the subtle, lingering character of perle and amarillo hops, Notes of caramel and toffee invade the palate while finishing with a smooth bitterness. At 5.3% alcohol, Afterburner is a supremely drinkable beer while maintaining a full-flavored approach.

Green Flash Hop-less Ancient Gruit (ON CASK)
A collaboration brew between Brewmaster Chuck Silva and Ben Spencer, from Magnolia Brewing. No hops were used in brewing this Old World Gruit. Instead we used Marsh Rosemary, Sweet Gale, Yarrow Flowers, Rose Hips, Heather Tips, and Elder Flowers. These herbs provide the bittering balance as well as a complimentary herbal sweetness to the rich barley sugar character. The malt make up is very similar to a big brown ale and the aroma is both sweet and savory making it a great option for pairing with many flavorful dishes.

Airdale Homecoming Spiced Porter
A classic brown porter spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. It starts with hints of espresso on the nose and a light malt sweetness with faint traces of chocolate and vanilla. The Holiday spices are faint, allowing the porter's flavor to dominate while the spices enhance the chocolate notes. A light-bodied beer, the finish is smooth with a subtle hoppy bitterness.

Our other beers on draft at the moment are AleSmith IPA- the best in the world, according to some- Ballast Point's Even Keel Pale Ale, and the Lightning Brewery Pilsner.
