Carillon Brewing Co. to host beer dinner with cicerone David Nilsen

Carillon Brewing Co. on the grounds of Dayton History's Carillon Park will host a five-course beer dinner led by a certified Cicerone and beer writer and educator David Nilsen of Greenville.

The event will pair five of the brewery's beers (plus a "welcome" brew) — all brewed from historical recipes using methods similar to those used in Dayton breweries in the mid-19th century — with five food courses prepared by Carillon Brewing and Dayton History Food and Beverage Director José Calzada.
