There are two beer dinners coming up that you just might want to get in on before it is too late.

First up is a dinner at The Sixgill in Fremont on Sunday, January 12 at 6pm featuring beers and ciders from Two Beers Brewing/Seattle Cider Company and New Belgium Brewing. This dinner will be the debut of a collaboration beer from the two breweries called Grafft India Pale Lager. I attended a beer dinner at The Sixgill last year and was quite impressed with the food, and I’d expect this one to follow suit. Tickets are $60 per person including tax (not sure about tip). Give them a call at 206-466-2846 to reserve your spot.
