Austin Locals and Visitors! Beer Pairing Dinner at Olivia

‘Tis the season for beer pairing.   And  Olivia, whose chef James Holmes was recently named a Bon Appetit Top 10 Favorite, is hosting a beer pairing dinner with Brooklyn Brewery.  It sounds like a lot of fun.

The event takes place at 7:00 PM on Thursday, October 15, and the menu showcases “the season’s best” paired with just the right brew, as selected by Holmes and Garrett Oliver, Brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery.
