Dunedin Smokehouse Sets Collaboration Beer Dinner Menu for Tampa Bay Beer Week

A menu to please any craft beer aficionado in Dunedin for Tampa Bay Beer Week is now set.

And all of Dunedin's favorite craft breweries are in it, with a special collaboration between them planned for the final course, said Melissa DePaul, general manager of host venue Dunedin Smokehouse.

Dunedin Brewery, 7venth Sun Brewing Company and Cigar City Brewing in Tampa highlight at least one course on the menu for Dunedin Smokehouse's Collaborative Beer Dinner, an event planned for Wednesday, March 6, in conjunction with Tampa Bay Beer Week, a weeklong festival that celebrates the area as a worldwide craft beer destination.

Each of the five courses pairs a Dunedin Smokehouse gourmet special with a featured craft beer. 

The three craft beer moguls come together on the final pairing to unveil a collaboration brew, "Sub Tropical Farm Ale," for the fifth course.

The beer dinner event begins at 7 p.m. with a family-style crawfish reception. 

The cost is $65.

Reservations are suggested. Call 727-736-2BBQ, for more information.

Tampa Bay Beer Week events are planned in Dunedin and throughout the Tampa Bay area between March 2 and 10.
