Imperial Session Beer Dinner Returns To Shift Drinks Makeshift Room On February 12th
This past fall Imperial Session launched a new quarterly dinner series that is designed to feature a few rare beers paired alongside a taste tempting food menu. Advanced Cicerone Ryan Spencer of Bailey’s Taproom and Brewpublic contributor along with Chef Spencer Watari of Clyde Common and Pok Pok fame are partners in Imperial Session. The goal of this series is to truly focus on the art of beer and food pairings without the limitations of only featuring one single brewery.
The second dinner in this series from Imperial Session will take place on Sunday, February 12th at Shift Drinks in its Makeshift Room in downtown Portland. This pre-Valentine’s Day dinner will focus on rare, out of market beers from New England including beers from Allagash, Hill Farmstead, Maine Beer Co. and more. Each beer featured was carefully selected to pair with a unique menu item designed to represent Pacific Northwest ingredients.

Washed Rind Cheese, Baguette, Honey
