I am very excited to announce that 508 Gastro Brewery has asked me  to co-host a very special beer pairing dinner for NYC Beer Week 2014 with a chocolate theme. Chocolate will be included as an integral component of every course, and each will be paired with a specific craft beer made in-house at 508 by my good friend Chris Cuzme.
