WHAT PAIRS BETTER THAN GRILLED CHEESE, MAC & CHEESE, AND BEER?
Cheese lovers, this one is for you! If you’re the person always ordering the cheesiest dish on the menu, asking “can I add cheese to that?”, or getting queso as your meal, then welcome. You are our kind of people. This is the one event every year that is ALL about the CHEESE!
Enjoy sample size portions of grilled cheese and mac and cheese. This isn’t the standard fare often relegated to the kids menu. Nope - our chefs create their own unique gourmet spin on these classic dishes to deliver an elevated tasting experience! You’ll get to try as many as you can and VOTE for your favorites! Winners will be chosen for several different categories!
With so much variety, you simply won’t be able to try them all before you start popping buttons on your pants, but give it your best effort! (And maybe wear your stretchy pants for this one)
All sips included!
Your ticket also includes tasting from local breweries, distilleries, cocktail samples, mocktails, and so much more! No additional purchases are required. You’ll also get a Grilled Cheese & Mac cup to use at the event and take home!
21+ only, no refunds, event will go on rain or shine (or snow)
