In celebration of greater Los Angeles’ booming craft beer industry and Taste on Melrose’s longtime tradition of hosting Wednesday Farmers’ Market dinners, the beloved Melrose Avenue restaurant launches an interactive “Tasting Series” that combines comforting, seasonal small bites with intriguing local beer pairings. 

Taste welcomes South El Monte-based Progress Brewing to its new Atrium bar for the inaugural ”Tasting Series”, with Co-Founder Dr. Diego Benitez pouring his favorite beers and walking guests through the brewing process. Opened in late 2013, Progress has gained a loyal following throughout the San Gabriel Valley, thanks to its notably complex, yet easy-drinking varietals, from the traditional English-style bitter to Belgian and aromatic India Pale ales. Executive Chef Brian Sheard is crafting an array of small plates to pair with the beers identifying key flavors that enhance both food and drink. 

Pairings include a Swordfish Ceviche with grapefruit, jalapeno, ginger, green onion, cucumber and avocado paired with the Progress Blonde and Caramelized Cumin Spiced Pork Loin with oven-roasted tomato, pine nuts, fingerling potatoes, and roasted asparagus paired with the Progress Xbalanque Grand Cru.
