Do This: Sheffield's "Beer School Bar" Beer and Cookies Pairing

By Chuck Sudo in Food on Dec 17, 2008 3:00PM

2008_12_beer_cookies.jpgSheffield's (3258 N. Sheffield) opened up a brand new beer bar in the back of the tavern at the beginning of summer. Since then, Ric Hess and company have been featuring a rotating list of rare draft craft beers and have established a "Beer School" series of fixed price dinners, lectures and events that rivals Map Room's "Beer School," Goose Island Clybourn's "Masters of Beer Appreciation" series, or hanging out with yours truly any given night of the week.

This evening from 7 p.m. - midnight, the Beer School folks are pairing beer and cookies. No, the beer-shaped cookies pictured will not be part of the tasting. But attendees will have the opportunity to sample gingerbread cookies with Southern Tier's Crème Brûlée Imperial Stout, among other pairings. Although we'd pay just for that. The cost for the tasting is $10. To get on the mailing list for Sheffield's Beer School, e-mail them here.
