It seems that Portland is far from the only place where you can find a haute cuisine and beer dinner:
Tickets go on sale online [today] for Savor, a first-of-its-kind beer and food event featuring pairings of haute cuisine from Federal City Caterers and craft beer from 48 different breweries [to be held May 16-17, 2008].
The event unfolds in three separate sessions, each limited to 700 attendees. Brewery booths will feature one or two specially selected beers served by the brewers and brewery owners themselves in two ounce pours paired up with tantalizing culinary delights such as crostini of figs and prosciutto, a selection of artisanal cheeses, and chocolates infused with unexpected enhancements such as rosemary and tropical passion fruit.
Big names in brewing will provide schedule full of educational salons, such as Garrett Oliver from Brooklyn Brewing covering beer and cheese pairing, and Sam Calagione from Dogfish Head going toe-to-toe with wine-bibbing ‘cross drinker’ Marnie Old from the French Culinary Institute.

Dogfish Head and Brooklyn Brewing. Hmm…I wonder what a round-trip flight from Portland to DC goes for these days? According to Feedjit and Google Analytics, there are a handful of readers from the DC area. Perhaps one of them will be so kind as to write up a review of the event in May?
