This Thursday (tomorrow) at the Linkery, Eric, Dylan and the folks from Mad River Brewing are bringing a dozen o'beers, including 7 casks. I think 5 of the beers are going to be world premiers.
We’re celebrating by making a small dish for pairing each of the seven cask beers. For any of the seven beers, you can get the pairing of food and a half pour of the beer for $7.
Seven bucks for a cask beer and paired dish, with seven different choices. If you get all seven, it happens to be a progessive dinner. Get however many you like, your choice.

The folks from Mad River are awesome, too. And while their beer is definitely something you can find around town, there’s no better way to get to know what they’re about than sampling a wide array of their fantastic beer with them.
