American Craft Beer Week for 2008 is in May, and Washington D.C. will see an exclusive beer-food pairing event.
The SAVOR event will be held May 16th & 17th at the Andrew W. Mellon auditorium will see 48 breweries from across the U.S. taking part in a variety of educational seminars and pairing events. There will be 3 sessions across the two days, and if you're interested in attending, think about buying your tickets now. The events are advance tickets only, with no tickets available at the door.
Attendees will have the chance to try samples from a variety of appetizers chosen to match the taste profiles of craft beers, and enjoy 2 ounce samples of selected craft beers. They can attend educational seminars with a beer and food focus, as well as meet and mingle with brewery representatives at the pouring tables. When the session is over, they'll be able to leave with a souvenir program, a commemorative tasting glass, and a tasters journal.
This is not going to be an inexpensive event - the tickets are $85 for each session. But if you're a foodie looking for new ways to enjoy beer with your favorite cuisine, this looks like a unique event that will be well worth the expense.
