Steins Beer Garden Cupertino Hosts Beer Pairing Dinner Featuring The Bruery
A special four-course beer pairing event is set for Tuesday, Dec. 4 beginning at 6:30pm at the Cupertino location of Steins Beer Garden & Restaurant.
The dinner features offerings from The Bruery out of Orange County and follows up on the restaurant’s previous, sold-out pairing event held earlier this summer, which also featured The Bruery.
According to Steins Cupertino general manager Craig Morrison, the success of the previous beer dinner prompted The Bruery founder Patrick Rue and senior sales manager Liz Bush – both of whom were in attendance – to plan for another one this year with Steins in time for the holidays.
Craig recently told me, “We chose the beers for the last dinner based on some of their more popular brews, but this time we chose all rare, barrel-aged releases that are sure to entice the most discerning beer palate.”
Here’s an exclusive look at the menu, created by Steins Executive Chef Pako Guzman, and The Bruery pairings:
Scallops in the Woods
- Pomme grenade reduction, cream spinach, pea shoots, herb oil
- Paired with The Bruery Bourbon Barrel-Aged 10 Lords-a-Leapin (Dark Imperial Wit Ale brewed with dried apples and spices)

- Paired with The Bruery Bourbon Barrel-Aged 5 Golden Rings (Golden Ale with cinnamon, allspice, ginger and pineapple)
