Were you to seek out the ideal host for a beer dinner, the name Garrett Oliver is one that should immediately come to mind. Originally named brewmaster for the Brooklyn Brewery in 1994, Oliver has gone on to author The Brewmaster's Table, and has served as editor for The Oxford Companion to Beer.  Given these qualifications, along with his many other industry accolades, there is perhaps no one more qualified to speak on the art of pairing beer with food.

Coming up on Wednesday, September 18, you'll have the opportunity to hear and learn from the master when Lark on the Park hosts Oliver for a "specially curated beer experience" at their location facing Klyde Warren Park in downtown Dallas.

From the press release:

Oliver is "considered [to be] one of the foremost authorities on beer in the world. The evening will feature an expert-guided  beer tasting experience led by Oliver, coupled with food pairings from LARK chefs Dennis Kelley and Melody Bishop. 

'Garret Oliver is one of the most influential beer authorities we’ve encountered, and we’re honored to host him at LARK for this incredible experience,' said Keith Schlabs, co-owner of LARK. 'When it comes to knowledge and simple passion for craft beer, Garrett is second to none. Beer enthusiasts will definitely want to experience this rare opportunity.'

The event will kick off with a reception at 6:30 p.m., followed by a seated dinner at 7 p.m. Tickets are $80 per person, including tax and gratuity, and can be purchased in person at LARK or by calling 214-855-5275. Seating is limited, and the event is expected to sell out quickly."
