We were lucky to be in on the tasting last week and got a few photos that are making us hungry again.


Grilled Shrimp and Grits with a homemade Worcestershire sauce – paired with Bell’s Oktoberfest.


Braised Beef Short Rib with Beef Debris Gravy with Mashed Turnips and Parsnips garnished with Fried Celery Leaves – paired with Bell’s Best Brown Ale


Parmesan Soufle, Candied Citrus Peel and Trio of Cheese: Iberico (3 milk blend cheese), Tellegio and Drunken Goat – paired with Bell’s Two Hearted Ale


Obviously the beer didn’t last long at all.

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.
