Back by popular demand … We’re kicking off another nationwide series of Ancient Ales beer dinners to celebrate our liquid time capsules and the foods that pair best with them.

From New York to Washington, craft beer lovers will have a chance to try beers inspired by brewers who were unencumbered by purity laws, style rules and bottom lines. Host restaurants will pair beers like Kvasir, Birra Etrusca, Midas Touch, Sah'tea and others with modern cuisine, and each ticketholder will get an Ancient Ales goblet, a stone coaster and a poster.
