The dinner is at 7 p.m. next Wednesday, September 29. On the menu are apple and pear potato pancakes with spicy lingonberry sauce paired with Spaten Oktoberfest, smoked salmon soup with Spaten Dunkel and more.

Here's the contest: Whoever comes up with the best idea for a tasty fall beer and leaves a description in the comments wins. Clever names are strongly suggested. Enter as many times as you like and use a pseudonym if you wish. However, keep in mind that we'll have to be able to reach you and will eventually need your real name if you win, so be sure to use one of your own e-mail addresses when commenting.

~~Winner will be chosen at 5 p.m. tomorrow. And...Go!~~
