Charity beer tasting in Sarasota

Morton's Gourmet Market, 1924 S. Osprey Ave. in Sarasota, is hosting its annual Celebration of Brewing event on Saturday, Aug. 29 from 4 to 7 p.m. The event will benefit All Faiths Food Bank.

They say they'll have beers "from around the world" and "beer-friendly cuisine," which I would argue is pretty much all food because beer is so versatile, far more versatile than wine. (Check out the menu for Mattison's Brooklyn beer dinner to see what I mean.)

I also hope the international selection of beers isn't just the usual Bud-Miller-Coors suspects with Heineken and Corona thrown in.

There will also be cooking demonstrations with Morton's chefs and a charity raffle.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Call (941) 955-9856 or visit mortonsmarket.com for more information and to buy tickets.
