The local brewery hosts an Elevated 7-Course Pairing Experience, turning its taproom into a multi-course dining experience where each dish is paired with a carefully selected beer.

Hopsized Brewing Company, located at 9201 Cockleshell Court, Unit 13, is known for brewing a rotating selection of craft beers, including lagers, hazy IPAs, pale ales, stouts, Kölsch-style beers and fruited sours. The brewery also hosts community events and special experiences throughout the year.

For the seven-course dinner, Chef Greg Shapiro of Grace & Olive Craft Culinary creates a series of small plates designed to complement the beer pairing, " I love Hopsized Brewing and all their incredible award-winning beers. This is a intimate dinner with about 20 people and a great way to get to know some beers," said Shapiro.

Previous menus have featured dishes such as butter-poached shrimp with corn pudding, yuzu-cured hamachi crudo, Hmong corn dogs, salmon pastrami, doppio raviolo and a dark chocolate cremeux.

The menu for each experience can change, giving diners something new to discover.

Instead of simply grabbing a pint and a bite, guests get to experience how different flavors work together, with each course introducing a new combination of food and beer.

For foodies looking for something beyond the typical brewery experience, the seven-course dinner offers a chance to slow down, try something new and see craft beer from a different perspective.
