Why in the world would anyone leave San Diego to visit Dallas in late June? Well, if you're Stone Brewing Co. head brewer Mitch Steele, leading a beer dinner at Dallas' best bar and the restaurant with the best bar food is enticement enough.

The Libertine Bar (2101 Greenville Ave.) will be the host of a five-course beer dinner starting at 7 p.m. Wednesday. Cumin grilled scallops, shrimp ceviche, beef osso buco and more will be paired with Stone's Ruination IPA, Arrogant Bastard, Imperial Russian Stout and other offerings from the legendary craft brewer (and Hophead favorite). Cost is $50 per person. Reservations (required) are available at 214-824-7900.

Also going on this week:
