Congratulations goes to Kendrick Chun and Denise Tanaka for winning tickets to Square Barrels’ Locals Only beer dinner!

Do you love beer, food and supporting local? You could win tickets to a dinner at Square Barrels this Saturday, Jan. 14 that pairs dishes from five talented local chefs with five very limited local craft beers.

Thomas Ray, a partner at the downtown beer-and-burger bar, is gathering a bunch of local brewing industry friends for the event highlighting Oahu microbrews. Here’s a glimpse at some of the pairings:

Square Barrels' Chef Derrick Smith is preparing Bison & Barrel Egg Rolls to pair with Beer Lab Hawaii's Nimbus 2000 Northeastern-style India Pale Ale.

Square Barrels will be serving up two dishes – one savory and one sweet. Derrick Smith’s Bison & Barrel egg rolls with smoked Kahuku sweet corn, carrots and bok choy with a tangy orange Nimbus glaze will pair with Beer Lab Hawaii’s citrusy, clean Nimbus 2000 IPA.

Square Barrel's Chef Sean McMonigle is making a sweet pairing of coconut pistachio baklava with a coconut fig barely coulis and Waikiki Brewing Co's First Anniversary Barely Wine from March 2016. Age has allowed this barely wine to mellow out for smooth sipping.
