Stay for the four-course dinner matching some of Mantuano and Chef di Cucina Meg Colleran Sahs' finest creations with Goose Island's best:

* First course: Seared Taylor bay scallops, Matilda broth, tarragon, hazelnuts paired with Matilda
* Second course: Braised Pinn Oak Farms lamb shoulder, Anson Mills polenta, salsify and sorrel, lamb sauce paired with Pere Jacques
* Third course: Zingerman's Lincoln Log goat's milk cheese, Heritage Prairie Farm honey paired with Sofie
* Fourth course: Beer-imisu paired with Bourbon County Coffee Stout.
