August 26 at 6 PM head for Pack's Tavern in Downtown Asheville for the Blind Eye Beer Battle + Food Pairing! Beers from local, regional and national favorites will be selected and teams of eight will blindly sample, taste and judge two flights of beer styles-Porters and India Pales Ales. Three ounce samples of eight beers of each style-that's 16 beers total, eight porters, eight IPA's-will be provided along with culinary delights to compliment the beers (and cleanse the palate) by Pack's Tavern Executive Chef Edwin French and Chef James Balchak.
The overall favorite beer, based on total scores, will become Pack's Tavern Beer of the Month pint special. As an added bonus, individual judges also have a chance at winning. The top three people who correctly guess the most beer brands blindly, will be awarded prizes from the hosts, including gift certificates and breweriana. **The Top Prize is TWO TICKETS to the Brewgrass Festival courtesy of Bruisin' Ales.** Cost per person is $30. Pack's Tavern is located at 20 South Spruce Street in downtown Asheville. Make reservations with credit card by calling Pack's Tavern at (828) 225-6944.
