There’s a cool beer dinner coming up in Atlanta, with Flying Dog’s Lead Dog Eric Warner being in attendance.

Welcome to Lumière. It is the site of our students’ capstone class (Restaurant Rotation) and, as such, is managed by students under the direct supervision of our acclaimed Instructors.

May 1 is very special night for all of us. We are honored to have Eric Warner, Lead Dog of Flying Dog Brewery, on hand at Lumière’s first Beer Dinner. Eric is a graduate from the Technical University of Munich at Weihenstephan and today is still one of only a handful of Americans to complete the program.

Eric has worked with many brewpubs and microbreweries and helped produce the Great American Beer Festival and authored a book on German-style wheat beer that was published in 1992. In 1993, he co-founded Tabernash Brewing Company in Denver, known for its award-winning German-style beers. In 1997, the brewery was sold to Lefthand Brewing, and Eric left to join the Flying Dog team. He started as the VP of Operations and was quickly promoted to Lead Dog (CEO) in 1999.

In addition, our menu tonight has been developed and executed by our students. Most of who took part in a recent recipe contest sponsored by Flying Dog Brewery. We are very proud of each and every one of them and we hope that you enjoy our creations!

We welcome the opportunity to serve you again soon. We are open for lunch: Tuesday - Friday: 11:30am - 2:00pm and dinner: Tuesday - Friday: 7:00pm - 10:00pm. You can make a reservation by calling (770) 723-3507 or on line at www.lumiereatlanta.com.
