Libertine Bar Offers Pair Of Tickets To Tonight’s Summit Brewing Company Beer Dinner

Have dinner plans tonight? Cancel them.

As mentioned Monday, tonight’s beer dinner at the Libertine Bar features beers from St. Paul’s Summit Brewing Company. Cost is $50 per person, plus tax, which lets you taste five beers and five courses specially created to pair with each brew.

The dinner starts at 7 p.m. There are plenty of seats still available, but one City of Ate reader and his or her guest won’t have to buy theirs. Read on for the full menu and instructions on how you can win seats.

Next month’s Libertine beer dinner is set for February 23, and will feature beers from Unibroue — hopefully we’ll have tickets to give away for that one as well.

Update: Contest is closed and the winner will be announced shortly. Commenters, check your e-mail (including spam folders, just in case) for notification.

Update to the update: Tough choice, but this month’s winner is Steely Reserve. Thanks for all the fun drinking ideas.
