Nighthawk Cinema and Brooklyn Brewery give you dinner and a movie

We’ve been super-psyched about the prospect of seeing a movie at the new Nitehawk Cinema (136 Metropolitan Ave., at Berry St., Williamsburg), mainly because you have have a beer while you watch a movie. And not just any old beer, but really good beer; their tap list includes Sixpoint Sweet Action, Kelso of Brooklyn Kellerfest, Lagunitas Little Sumpin’ Wild, and several other craft brews. Oh, and their food? Well, that ain’t half-bad either, given they have a Michelin-starred chef at the helm in Saul Bolton.

So, great beer, great food, movies… what more could you ask for? Well, how about a beer pairing dinner in front of the silver screen?

That’s what they’ll be doing on December 6th at 7:30pm, as Brooklyn Brewery and Nitehawk present “The Director’s Cut.”

For $90, you get a five-course meal with beer and film pairings. Each pairing with feature a themed film clip screened in the theater while you chow down on dinner and brews. Enjoy some of Brooklyn’s finest beers, including the rare Wild 1, and meet Garrett Oliver, himself once an aspiring filmmaker. Film buff and Cinema Director John Woods will host the clips.

Tickets can be purchased online through Nitehawk for $90, or at the door on the day of the show for $105.
