Sip and sigh

If you’ve never been to a BREWERS DINNER at Hills’ Restaurant, you owe it to yourself to check this out. On Tuesday, Deschutes Brewery comes to town from Bend, Oregon, and Chef Dave Hill is planning a five-course extravaganza pairing the brewery’s beers and ales with his culinary creations. Each course is made with (and served with) one of Deschutes’ brews — like the shrimp and crab bisque (with Green Lakes Amber), the seafood terrine (with the seasonal Buzzsaw Brown ale), and even the cheesecake dessert (with “The Dissident,” a Flanders-style brown ale, teamed with cranberries for a distinctive sauce).
