The Saratoga Rose Inn in Hadley, New York, will be having a beer tasting dinner on February 9, 2008 @ 7:00PM. The menu sounds fantastic and if you are looking for an evening out, somewhere different, this just might be it. Also, if you are new to pairing beer with food, this could be a great introduction. (Personally, I’m not thrilled with the beer list, but it certainly is not bad) I think I would go for the curried shrimp; the Red Tail Ale is a nice pairing, too.

Here is the menu that will be served for a…
