It’s still not too late to attend the Sam Adams dinner  this Tuesday, May 13 at 6 p.m. at Monk’s Kettle, the new Belgian-style pub-restaurant at 3141 16th St. in San Francisco’s Mission District.  Tickets are $50. Call 415-865-9523 to reserve seats. This dinner, which will be hosted by Sam Adams brewer Grant Wood, is one of 10 the company is holding across the country as part of American Craft Beer Week, May 12-18.

Here’s the menu for the evening:

Dessert: Chocolate fondant cake served with a Samuel Adams stout chocolate creme anglaise.
Paired with Samuel Adams Cream Stout

If you’ve never visited Monk’s Kettle, I highly recommend it. It’s a fairly small, neighborhood place with a fairly vast, eclectic beer list.  For my review, go here. However, the photos appear to be lost in the morass of my colossal Web crash last month.
