Newstead Tower Public House (4353 Manchester Avenue; Web site) is hosting a four-course dinner paired with Founders Brewing Company beers this Thursday, June 17. The dinner is at 7 p.m. and costs $40 per person; reservations are required. Call 314-535-7771 for reservations or more info.

The Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Founders just became available in St. Louis. (See my feature story on the area's craft-beer scene for the details.) I've only had the Red's Rye P.A. so far and thought it was very, very good.
