Holy Grale To Pair Food With Dogfish Head And Live Bonnie 'Prince' Billy Performance

Clearly the event most people first associate with Louisville is the Jane Austen Festival Kentucky Derby. But at the end of the Holy Grale's latest newsletter though is an event that better exemplifies what the city is about, culturally anyway, in 2013: "an off-centered celebration of food, brews and song (Holy Grale + Dogfish Head + Bonnie Prince Billy)."

This dinner, song, & beer pairing event will be premiering the newest Dogfish beer at this event (sixty one) and Will Oldham will be selling 50 limited-edition Bonnie "Prince" Billy vinyl albums with songs he and Dogfish did together... and each album comes with a man-hug.

Here's what chef Josh Lehman, Dogfish Head and Oldham have in store for the evening (it's more thorough than the rolling paper and herb you usually pair with a night of Bonnie "Prince" Billy):
