Most of the time, we think that Italian food only goes with wine. But what happens when beer lovers descend on an Italian restaurant? On Wednesday, September 29, you’ll have a chance to find out. That night, South Philly’s Le Virtu will be pairing homemade Italian cuisine with Belgian-style beer.

Each of the savory courses will be made using the beer that will accompany it. The dessert course will be a warm chocolate budino with Mascarpone gelato and includes a sour cherry puree that means that it pairs beautifully with Ommegang’s Three Philosopher’s Quadruple.

The Le Virtu beer dinner costs $65 per person, not including tax and tip. Call 215.271.5626 for reservations.

The full menu can be found after the jump.
