Update May 19th:  The organic craft beer dinner at Ted's Butcherblock has officially been set for this Thursday, May 20th, just in time for American Craft Beer Week.  All the details below hold true, and there should be some spots left.  Act fast!

Update April 28th:  Just got word that the beer dinner at Ted's has been postponed and will be rescheduled soon.  So I hope any & everybody that made it to Carolina's tonight had a good time!

First reporting:

If you're hungry and thirsty all at the same time, downtown is the place for you this week as Carolina's is hosting a Belgian beer dinner on Wednesday and Ted's Butcherblock is hosting an all-organic beer dinner on Thursday.

Carolina's will provide its requisite five-course meal with pairings against the Belgian beers of St. Bernardus, a traditional Abbey-style brewery from West Flanders in operation for over 60 years with a very serious reputation.  The dinner will feature the stalwart lineup of Wit, Pater 6, Prior 8, Tripel, and Abt 12.  Call (843) 724-3800 for details and reservations.  10 Exchange Street.

Head north on Thursday at 7:15 p.m. to Ted's Butcherblock for a four-course beer dinner highlighting organic beer from a number of different breweries.  You can read the full menu here, but the featured brews are Bison Organic Honey Basil, Schneider Wiesen Edel-Weisse, Brasseire Dupont Foret, and Samuel Smith's Organic Strawberry Fruit Beer.  Seats are $38 + tax & tip.  Call (843) 577-0094 for more details and reservations.  334 East Bay Street.
