There’s a cool beer dinner coming up in Atlanta:

Welcome to Lumière. It is the site of our students’ capstone class (Restaurant Rotation) and, as such, is managed by students under the direct supervision of our acclaimed Instructors. May 1 is very special night for all of us. Our menu tonight has been developed and executed by our students. Most of whom took part in a recent recipe contest sponsored by Flying Dog Brewery. We are very proud of each and every one of them and we hope that you enjoy our creations!

You can make a reservation by calling (770) 723-3507 or on line at www.lumiereatlanta.com.

There’s a great (and affordable) Flying Dog beer dinner in the Atlanta area next week at Urban Flats (technically in Lawrenceville). The beers being poured are:

In-Heat Wheat Hefeweizen
Snake Dog IPA
Horn Dog Barley Wine
Old Scratch Amber Lager
Gonzo Imperial Porter

We’ve been informed the menu will be a special surprise. Here’s more info about the venue:

Urban Flats is a casual dining destination featuring an eclectic fusion of ancient world style flatbread in a modern urban setting, using the freshest ingredients inspired by the region and season along with tastefully selected wines from around the world.

Our focus is on the Flatbread, which dates back centuries ago being the first creation of bread. Grains were put into a pot over the fire and cooked into porridge. Ultimately this grain mixture was spread onto a rock next to the fire and thus the first flat cakes were made.

Steve Hayes, Interplanetary Retail Brand Manager at Terrapin Brewery, writes to inform us of an interesting beer dinner partnership they’re doing:

“We have launched a new joint beer dinner series, called Terrapin and Friends, where we partner with another craft brewery to showcase each other’s beers and promote the craft beer family as a whole. We have had 2 very successful dinners already. The first was with the Left Hand Brewery at Farm 255, a local, self sustained restaurant in our home town of Athens, GA. The second was with Twains a fantastic brewpub in Decatur, GA. Both dinners were a hit and sold out to crowds of 50+.”

The next dinner will be held at Athens’ famed 5 & 10 Restuarant with renowned chef Hugh Acheson and the always interesting Oskar Blues Brewery.

Oskar Blues, incidentally, is home to one of the best bluegrass jams (Tuesday evenings) in the whole state of Colorado.
