Join Catawba Brewing, Chef John Fleer of Rhubarb restaurant, and Chef Gene Ettison of the Green Opportunities (GO) Kitchen Ready program for a freshly harvested farm dinner on Wednesday, May 30 at Yesterday Spaces in Leicester.  This five-course beer and food pairing will be held from 6:00-9:30 in the beautiful Appalachian mountains and features farm-fresh food, including appetizers and dessert. Early-bird tickets are $69 each and will be available until May 23.

Five courses of farm-fresh food, including appetizers and dessert, will be paired with five courses of Catawba’s craft brews and craft beer cocktails.
