Rare Italian pours tonight at Alla Spina.
Awesome and out of the ordinary Italian drafts are one of Alla Spina's (1410 Mt. Vernon St.) biggest draws and tonight they're upping the ante with a very special Italian craft beer tasting from 7 to 9:30 p.m. They're bringing in Rome-based food writer Katie Parla to walk guests though a line up that includes Baladin's Nora, Birrificio Italiano's Cassissona, Dogfish Head/Baladin/Borgo collaborative archeo-beer Birra Etrusca, and Lover Beer's D'Uva. Along with samples of these five brews, guest beer nerds will be treated to a brew friendly buffet designed by Alla Spina chef Pat Szoke along with tales of the Italian beer scene happening in Rome. There are still a few tickets left to the event. Get 'em right here.
