What goes better with dinner, beer or wine? At a tasting event at Davis Street Tavern last week, Goose Island brewmaster Greg Hall made his case for beer.

Tasty beer. The brewmaster Greg Hall describes it better than I can, and he’s accurate. I don’t know if I’d really call Pere Jacque the port of beers, but I suppose it points in the direction of port. Nevertheless, it’s tasty.
For the table beers, all that fancy brewing leads to fancy prices. There’s a lot more labor involved when you brew, bloom, combine, bloom, bottle, and bloom than when you just brew and bottle. I’ve been drinking the $3.50 canned six packs from Trader Joe’s lately, so it’s hard to beat that, price-wise. Should I take an alternate approach and convince myself that buying fancy beer is cheaper than buying fancy wine?
