‘Craft beer meets fine food’ at 3rd Annual AleFeast on Saturday
It’s billed as an event where “Craft Beer Meets Fine Food,” and this year’s AleFeast has beefed up its culinary cred to back up the claim.
The 3rd Annual AleFeast — to be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 5 at the Dayton Masonic Center, 525 W. Riverview Ave. in Dayton — will feature five new food providers this year, including Jay’s Restaurant and the Sinclair College Culinary Club, and the returning restaurants and other vendors are all serving new dishes, according to Joe Waizmann, AleFeast’s organizer.
In total, there will be 16 food stations, each one adjacent to a craft beer station that will pour samples of 50 craft beers from 30 breweries from around the world. Some of the food items will include a dram or two of craft beer, including stout floats created by the Culinary Company, Waizmann said.
Tickets cost $50 in advance, $55 on the day of the event, and include 20 samples of craft beer, food samples, and a tasting glass. Tickets are available online, at the door, and at the following locations: 5th Street Wine & Deli, Archer’s Tavern, Arrow Wine & Spirits, Belmont Party Supply/Brewtensils, Chappys Tap Room & Grille, Culinary Company, Dorothy Lane Market, Foremost Seafood, Friesinger’s Fine Chocolates/Dayton Nut Company, Jay’s Restaurant, South Park Tavern, Spinoza’s Pizza & Salads, The Pub at The Greene, and Thai 9.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Suicide Prevention Center and the Dayton Area Rugby Club.
