Collaboration is key at Lua Brewing in Des Moines, especially when it comes to their famous beer dinners. Lua’s R&D Brewer James Heckathorne partners with their chef for an exquisite dining experience and a special small batch of beer paired specifically for the main course! Plus, James and Lua’s General Manager, Pete, recommend their favorite items on the menu. Later, we travel to downtown Des Moines to Court Avenue Brewing Company that also boast an incredible array of beer and food pairings. It’s the oldest brewpub in Des Mones and, as such, Head Brewer Dustin Strawn takes great pride in blending old and new brewing styles.
