Love is brewing at Hillsdale Brewing Company.

This Valentine’s Day, couples have the chance to enjoy dinner and dessert for two for $50.

“Valentine’s Day can be a stressful time to find a nice place to celebrate it,” senior Christopher Dick said. “So, Hillsdale Brewing Company revamping their kitchen [for Valentine’s Day] to offer an upscale experience at a great price is great.”

The experience will be from 4-8 p.m. and couples must make reservations ahead of time.

Dinner includes prime rib or shrimp scampi, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, and dessert for two. Five shrimp can also be added for $5 and a side salad for $3.

“It’s a candlelight dinner for two in our beer garden with private and decorated tables, music, dessert, and no waiting,” said Felicia Finch, owner of Hillsdale Brewing Company. “We have also partnered with Smith’s Floral Boutique to allow couples to order a vase or wrapped arrangement that will be at their table waiting.”

The wrapped flower bouquet costs $25, while the flowers plus the vase costs $35.

“The addition of a bouquet is a really nice touch,” Dick said. “It takes the planning out of the dude’s hands, making it so much less of a worry.”

Hillsdale Brewing Company has offered this dinner every year since they first opened in 2018.

“We have offered this every year we have been open,” Finch said. “This will be the third year we’ve hosted it in our beer garden.”

She added that it is a good opportunity for couples to celebrate Valentine’s Day with minimal stress or hassle.

“We usually have a good turnout and people like the extra touches to allow a more intimate dinner out,” she said. 

Dinner at the Hilldale Brewing Company is not the only event happening in Hillsdale for couples on Valentine’s Day.

“We have also partnered with other local businesses to offer discounts or a continued evening out,” Finch said. “Have lunch at the Hillsdale Filling Station, boudoir photos or mini sessions at Fether Studios, shopping at Maggie Anne’s or Hillsdale Jewelers, painting at Toasted Mud, flowers with Smith’s Floral Boutique, Anti-Valentines Day for One at Here’s to You Pub and Grub, and dinner, DJ, and dessert at The Dawn Theatre.”
