The beer dinner was a great success. The food and beer were top notch, on top of that Dan Shelton was in attendance. He was quite funny and very informative about the beers served, a good bit of information on the background and history of the beers. Also got to meet Kirk Coco, his lovely wife and other members of Crescent City Homebrewers. I can’t wait for the next one.
