Winter Feast Beer Dinner 2026

Explore how beer, hops, and brewing ingredients can shape and elevate food through this 5-course dinner and pairing.

‍

Join us for our annual Winter Feast Beer Dinner, a one-night culinary experience at our First Street Taphouse, limited to just 25 guests. This five-course dinner is thoughtfully crafted by Executive Chef David Starr, with each of the main courses designed around the ingredients, flavors, and character of a specific Mare Island Brewing Co. beer—then paired with a 5oz pour of that very beer. Finally, we'll cap off the night with a housemade cocktail and dessert pairing.
