5/19/2019 -- Dogfish Head's Action Sports Beer Dinner

An action-packed beer dinner featuring three courses, three beers and stories from five pro skaters.

Here at Dogfish Head we’re all about the action. Whether it's running in the Dogfish Dash, participating in co-worker bocce and kickball tournaments or riding in the Dogfish I.P.A. race – we’re always on the move. We’ve got a few beers perfect for those with both active lifestyles and conscience consumption mindsets, and we’re excited to be highlighting them at our May Beer Dinner that celebrates all things action AND action sports!

A few of our friends in the action sports world (we’re talking professionals here, folks) will be joining us on Sunday, May 19 for an “action-packed” dinner! Dinner guests will enjoy a three-course menu, paired with our active lifestyle beers, PLUS we’ve collaborated with The Larimer Beer Co. to brew up a special beer for the event.

Dogfish Head Brewing Ambassador Bryan Selders and Matt Lindenmuth, Head of The Larimer Beer Co. and formerly top-ranked professional vert skater and snowboarder, will be leading the beer experience and fielding audience questions to our special speakers. Not all our speakers can join us, so we’ll be Skyping them in from the West Coast to share career stories and answer guest questions!

Tickets are $40 per person and include 3 courses and 3 complementary brews. Click HERE (https://dogfishheadbrewpub.ticketleap.com/getafterit-beer-dinner/details) to purchase yours!

*This event will benefit Epworth Skate Park.
