Ticket prices weren’t listed on Tom Ham’s event page when we checked on Nov. 3, so use the event’s ticket link for current pricing.
Organizers describe a tasting party spread across the restaurant’s first-floor indoor and outdoor spaces, with fresh seafood and an unlimited oyster bar alongside burgers, poke, pizza and cookies, according to SanDiegoVille. The idea is that each kitchen is matched with one brewery, so the beer is picked for the dish and isn’t just a buffet add-on.
Where and when
Tom Ham’s Lighthouse, 2150 Harbor Island Dr., San Diego. Monday, Nov. 9, 5:30–9 p.m.
