HEIGHTS— Tonight (November 11) D&T Drive Inn will be closed for their Lone Pint beer dinner. The local brewery and Heights ice house have come together to create a five-course pairing meal for $55 per person. The dinner starts at 7:30 p.m. and ends at around 10:30 p.m. They'll have a special meet-the-brewers time for diners to ask questions. Buy your tickets here. [Eaterwire]

MONTROSE— HBW continues on November 13 with Hay Merchant's beer dinner. They'll be pairing several courses to Jester King's selection of sour beers. This style of beer is funky-tasting and is definitely a tough one to center a dinner around, but if anyone can do it, it'll likely be this beer bar. Tickets are $120 and can be purchased at Hay Merchant. The dinner is Wednesday night starting at 7 p.m. Call (713) 528-9805 with questions or to reserve seats. [Eaterwire]

SCANDAL WIRE— Canadian sushi chef Ivan Eng chased down a dine-and-dasher with a knife. Eater National reports that "Eng chased the man, who turned out to be a serial offender, for a few blocks, telling passing cars to call 911. Police apparently told Eng that next time he should not bring the knife with him when pursuing a criminal, which is probably a good idea." [-EN-]
