Pairing Dinner Menu
This culinary journey begins with interactive tasting stations – from warm pretzels with beer cheese to juicy pork sliders and perfectly grilled skirt steak – each matched with a signature Sierra Nevada brew. Then, guests will enjoy a multi-course plated dinner that highlights seasonal ingredients and creative pairings, like a refreshing roasted pear salad with Summerfest Lager and a rich grilled ribeye paired with the hoppy punch of Torpedo IPA. And the finale? A decadent dessert and a barrel-aged stout worth lingering over. Explore the full menu below and discover your next favorite pairing.
