The beer dinner menu from an Imperial Session Beer Dinner in February 2017.

The third installment of Imperial Session Beer Dinner will take place on Tuesday, June 13th beginning at 7:00pm at Tournant. This well thought out five-course dinner paired with beers from Block 15 and Ruse Brewing is sure to delight your senses.

The duo behind Imperial Session is Spencer Watari known for his cooking at Jack Rabbit and Clyde Common along with Ryan Spencer of Bailey’s Taproom.

Doors will open at 7:00pm, as guests will be greeted with a welcome beer accompanied by small bites. Dinner service will begin promptly at 7:30pm and end around 9:00pm. From our delightful experience at the last Imperial Session Beer Dinner the pairings were spot on and were presented in a very timely fashion. Tickets are available here for $75.00 each and includes gratuity.

While our initial mission statement was to provide a beer/food pairing experience free of constraints, we just couldn’t say no to working with these two breweries. As always, seating is limited so we encourage our guests to purchase their tickets sooner than later. We look forward to seeing you! – Ryan Spencer
