2014 San Diego Beer Week: Day 5

Tuesday, November 11

The Full Table: Company’s like taking their most popular beers and using flavorful ingredients to create myriad tasty versions. Usually, these are stouts or porters, but Benchmark Brewing Company is leading with its lowest-alcohol brew, a light, Belgian-style table beer that will be enhanced via fruit, oak, wild yeast, and more. | Benchmark Brewing Company, 6190 Fairmount Avenue, Suite G, Grantville, 3 p.m.

Bourbon Barrel-Aged Quad Release: The everyday beers of recently opened Council Brewing Company have garnered much attention and respect from local beer enthusiasts. Ditto their initial barrel-aged beers, making the fact they’ll be releasing an oak-matured Belgian-style quadrupel during Beer Week something to take note of. | Council Brewing Company, 7705 Convoy Court, Kearny Mesa

Cooking with Friends: Leroy’s Kitchen + Lounge is debuting its new “Cooking with Friends” series by inviting two legitimate artisans and buddies, Jsix executive chef Christian Graves and Port Brewing Company/The Lost Abbey director of brewery operations Tomme Arthur, for a five-course beer-paired meal to remember. | *Leroy’s Kitchen & Lounge, 1015 Orange Avenue, Coronado, 6:30 p.m.*
