Locöl Barley and Vin (7902 35th Ave. s.w.) held its first "Brewer's Dinner" at Kenyon Hall, next door to the restaurant and bar on April 20, bringing in South Park's own Odin Brewing Company, now 18 months in business.

The event featured a four course meal, each with a different product from Odin, matched to the food.

Odin has been very successful in its short time, with their products now available in 200 bars in King County and they've just started bottling 22 ounce bottles which is available now in bottle shops and at Whole Foods in two weeks.

They make three "core beers" as owner Dan Lee said, "Our flagship is called Odin's Gift, a ruby ale, a Koltsch style, very light and filtered clean. It almost looks like a lager but it's actually an ale called Freya's Gold, and Odin's Pearl, just introduced which is an unfiltered Belgian style wheat beer."

The meal, prepared by Locöl's chef Meredith Abbott, consisted of Spicy Radish Salad, (paired with Freya's Gold), Braised Ox Tail (paired with Odin's Gift), and Panna cotta for dessert (paired with a "Special Brown Seasonal").

Locöl's Kyle Duce said, "Over the last few years, beer has taken on such an intricate form that their are beer connisseur programs you can take that are similar to wine sommelier programs. The pairing of beer with food has become a huge thing recently."

They chose Odin because, "Dan is very specific about how he makes his beer and he always has food in mind when he makes it," Duce said.

22 people attended the first dinner but Duce plans on doing one a month for $40.
