October Beer Pairing Dinners Aplenty in Orlando!

    It's exciting for us to see the variety of beer dinners that are starting to take place here in Central Florida.  The purpose of a beer pairing dinner is basically to celebrate the marriage of beer and food and these special events are starting to take place at a variety of different  restaurants around town.   We wanted to tell you about three of them that are coming up in the next couple weeks.  One at a coal fired pizza place, one at a sushi restaurant, and one at a Southern Public House!
