Post-Valentine "Fruit & Chocolate Beer Dinner" at Come Back Inn this Monday, February 16.

Apologies for not passing this along earlier, but know that there’ll be a “Fruit & Chocolate Beer Dinner” at the Come Back Inn (415 Spring Street, Jeffersonville) on Monday, February 16.

The evening is being sponsored by Come Back Inn and World Class Beverages, and begins at 6:30 p.m. The price is $70 per person, service non compris.

My plug is this: The last dinner Chris Smith and the gang put on, a Belgian one, was one of the better ones I’ve ever attended. I don’t have a complete listing of the courses and beers, though here’s the preview provided by Tish Dean of WCB:

Monday, February 16th will be a treat, featuring six courses and seven beer pairings. Each of the beers paired with the courses are either fruit based, such as a Belgian Lambic, or the Charles Wells Banana Bread Beer paired with Bananas Foster for dessert. We're also pulling out some stops with Rogue's Chocolate Stout and Young’s Double Chocolate Stout. Neither you nor your date will be disappointed with this late Valentine treat. Reservations required: Call 812-285-1777.

Belgian Beer Dinner at the Come Back Inn in Jeffersonville, December 15.

The holiday season always is jammed with top-quality beer events (have I mentioned Saturnalia?), but this beer dinner at the Come Back Inn is looking especially good. Chris Smith and company are partnering with World Class Beverages, with the majority of beers coming from the Wetten Importers portfolio (the only exception is the Chimay).

The beer selection includes the relatively rare St. Louis Gueuze Fond Tradition, and overall, I'm more excited than usual about the choices, primarily because the September beercycling adventure took in all three of the breweries handled by Wetten (thanks again, Pete).

The Curmudgeons will be there. For beer information, visit the sites of Wetten Importers and Chimay.
