Henhouse & Social Brewing Beer Dinner

Beer Dinner with HenHouse and Social

On Tuesday, August 25th, Comal will welcome Collin McDonnell from HenHouse Brewing Company and Kim Sturdavant from Social Kitchen and Brewery to join them in featuring a selection of small batch beers paired with dishes by Comal's executive chef Matt Gandin. HenHouse was founded in Petaluma in 2011; Social, only steps from Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, was established in 2010. The two breweries have worked together before and this special event dinner will highlight beers from each brewery, as well as a collaboration brew, all paired with the flavors of Oaxaca found in Chef Matt’s dishes. Like previous dinners, the HenHouse & Social Brewery beer dinner will be held in Abajo, Comal’s private dining room.

Both HenHouse and Social are established new American-style breweries in the Bay Area. The goal at HenHouse is to be fearless and uncompromising in the pursuit of brewing innovative and fresh products. They are focused on hand-crafted quality and have a true love of making beer- as they say on their webpage: “HenHouse is the work of our hands, hearts and brains”.

Social’s beers are produced in house at their pub, located in the heart of the Sunset district of San Francisco. Their hands-on, small batch approach assures top quality all the way to your glass. They source ingredients from around the world to replicate traditional styles with our own twist. They strive to produce beer that is accessible, balanced, complex, and interesting all in the same sip. Finally Social believes in finesse, in flavor, and they believe in delicious, small batch, rustic beer you can’t find anywhere else.
