Five Courses, 10 Beers

Oh, what to serve with a mushroom ragu over Tillamook Cheddar cheese grits? (Meantime London Porter.) What about that sweet potato-chipotle pepper soup? (Avery Maharaja Imperial Ale.) Does choosing a beverage with your tart cherry empanadas with vanilla bean crème anglaise get you all flummoxed? (Try a Le Coq Imperial Double Stout, no question.)

Bud Starr, owner of Starrs, knows these things. And his newish restaurant, attached to his popular wine/cheese/house-roasted coffee/gourmet food/beer store, is the perfect setting to show off beer’s versatility with the great food produced by head chef James Gill; not to mention a great way to celebrate 75 years of legal beer drinking. Tonight, you can try 10 unusual beers matched to five superb courses (two brews per course), including the dishes mentioned above, braised short ribs and barbecue shrimp. Any questions?
