Boise craft beer enthusiasts who want to find out how well Seattle-based Hale’s Ales goes with Treasure Valley cuisine should circle Aug. 5 on you calenders.

That is when the Bittercreek Alehouse will feature Mike Hale’s craft beer creations paired with five different food courses.

I have to tell you — these dinners are very cool, as they show how well craft beer and food go together if matched correctly. This looks to be an exciting event. Hale’s beers are awesome and the staff at Bittercreek are working on a series of dishes to match the brews.

Cost is $35 and seats are limited to between 28-to-32 spots, so email Brandon Bruins at wineeveryday@hotmail.com to reserve a seat before they are all gone.

Hale’s Ales is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year and one of the beers to be served at the dinner is the Belgian Style Dubble brewed to mark the occasion, which Bruins recently sampled and said was extraordinary. Other beers to be featured in the dinner include the Mongoose IPA on cask and a coconut porter.

This should be a really cool event. Brewery founder Mike Hale will be there as well, so you can thank him for producing excellent pacific northwest craft beer for the last quarter century.
