When it comes to food events, 10 may be the magic number. On a sunny November Saturday, five breweries paired small-batch beers with bites from five local restaurants. You could try Tropical Train Trip gose from Southern Grist, or Tennessee Jeppe and the Thoroughbred Hillbilly imperial stout from Blackberry Farms. Then you could grab pâté from Cafe Roze, a Frito pie from Redheaded Stranger or a mini Daddy’s Dog, all without standing in line. Because it topped out at 10 sips and snacks, it was just the right size to taste everything without feeling like a beached whale. ASHLEY BRANTLEY
