Phantom Canyon's First Beer Dinner of the Alan Stiles Era

I really like the beers that Alan Stiles is making over at Phantom Canyon Brewing. From his cask porter to his banana clove wheat to the Revival Series of historical beers he's been making, Phantom Canyon has become a little gem that deserves more recognition. I've heard it said that Phantom hasn't always been this extraordinary, that since Alan came to town, the beer has really picked up. So, it's a wonder to me that this is the first beer dinner Phantom Canyon has organized while Alan has been there. Nonetheless, it is what it is, and it is a beer dinner. It looks good to me, some of the classic Phantom beers will be available along with some goodies, including the Continuum Belgium White, which I've had a few pints of and really enjoy, and there's an Oak and Cherry Aged Flanders, which I've not had but it's making my mouth water just thinking about it. Below are all the details. My guess is that tickets will sell quickly.
