The Beer Chef, Bruce Paton, hosted his first cheese and beer dinner October 20, with Sheana Davis providing the cheese knowledge portion of the dinner, with beers from San Francisco Brewers Guild. The dinner was sold out and began with four San Francisco beers and a variety of cheeses and other appetizers made using cheese, such as lamb cheeseburger sliders and tomato soup with a wedge of grilled cheese sandwich in each cup.
