Waypoint Public is teaming up with a unique So Cal brewery to watch, The Bruery, for another installment of the venue's successful Brewmaster Dinner Series. The collaboration pairing is taking place on Wednesday, July 23 at 6:30pm in Waypoint Public's private 'bear den' dining room. Housed inside of Waypoint’s newly constructed private event space, dubbed “the bear den”, this event is part of the recurring Brewmaster Dinner Series, which will feature an incredible nine-course lineup by Executive Chef Amanda Baumgarten, paired perfectly to a variety of sours, stouts and barrel aged beauties.
Law school grad turned successful 'bruemaster', Patrick Rue, Founder & CEO of The Bruery, will be joining Executive Chef Amanda Baumgarten for a unique menu that highlights The Bruery's brews. The family owned brewery boasts one of the largest barrel aged beer programs in the country and is getting international recognition for their wide range of innovative and hard-to-find varietals as well as complex flavors derived from simple ingredients. Their motto? Nothing is off-limits. The Bruery has been featured in GQ, The New York Times, Draft Magazine, Bon Apétit and more.

1. Sea Bass Crudo - White Peach & Chamomile - Paired with Hottenroth (A tart, German-style Berliner Weisse)
