Featuring Northwest breweries, the dinner is a 6 course meal paired with our local brewmasters selections. The cost is $45 per person for the 6 course meal including beer pairings.  Reservations are highly recommended.

The brewmaster and one of their representatives join Rays for the event, touring tables to answer questions and share stories about their craft.  These beer selections will be featured in our Café for the duration of the fall season as well.  Pour sizes on the brews are 2-3 ounces depending on alcohol content.
