It’s definitely beer dinner season, and that’s a very good thing. The next one in the Bay Area will feature Arne Johnson’s beers from Marin Brewing Co.. It will be a four-course dinner and should be well worth the $69 price of admission. It will be held at the Noonan’s Bar & Grill in Larkspur (across from the ferry landing) on Thursday, October 18, 2007, beginning with a reception at 7:00 p.m. Call 415.342.1592 for more information and reservations. I’ll see you there.
