Packed with Potential
Flatbeds - A Natural Fit for Rigid and Corrugate Package Print
By Amber E. Watson
Digital print plays a significant role in rigid and corrugate packaging. It reduces manufacturing costs, specifically for short runs, personalized production, and variable data printing (VDP).
As the demand for short-run packing increases, the features and capabilities of digital flatbed printers follows a similar pattern. Compared to more traditional screen and offset printers, digital flatbeds offer faster speeds, diverse media handling, and quality that rivals conventional printing methods. Large and small print service providers (PSPs) introduce flatbed printers into their shops in order to expand offerings and to better meet customer demand.
Flatbeds Forge Ahead
In the past, screen and offset printers primarily handled corrugate and rigid display and box packaging, but with the emergence of inkjet, new devices target this segment. Wide format flatbed printers are perfectly positioned to impact this space.
According to Ran Emanuel, CEO, MTL Print Ltd., recalls that digital flatbeds, when first launched, aimed to complement screen, offset, and flexographic technologies in the packaging market by offering cost-effective solutions for short-run production.
�Today, however, some flatbeds challenge traditional package printing technologies on medium to long runs as well. Flatbeds, such as MTL�s NURStar and others, offer speeds above 1,500 square feet per hour (sf/h) and are capable of substituting screen and flexographic in longer runs,� he says.
The speeds at which UV flatbed presses currently run, combined with the quality level achieved at such high speeds, are primary drivers influencing the role of wide format digital print in the packaging market.
�These two factors in combination allow for work to move from offset and screen to digital, which gives greater production flexibility and higher margin rates on the short- and medium-run length projects,� shares Christopher Howard, SVP marketing and sales, Durst Image Technology US LLC.
�Durst�s Rho 1012 printer, for example, is often utilized in this space with a production speed of 5,000 sf/h, and a native 12 picoliter droplet for high-quality imagery at fast production speeds,� he continues.
Still, Randy Paar, senior marketing specialist, display graphics, Canon Solutions America (CSA), points out that, �compared to conventional printing methods, digital inkjet printing of packaging is not yet as productive for high volumes. It still provides an obvious advantage in its significantly reduced makeready time to generate the first digital print.�
David Conrad, director of marketing, Mutoh America, Inc., explains that where one notices the true advantage of screen or offset is in the speed for printing large extended runs of the same image.
Digital printing leverages all the features and benefits that a digital workflow supports. Paar highlights VDP and digital die cutting as opportunities that become present when digital is used.
Micha Kemelman, product marketing manager, Scitex, Hewlett-Packard (HP), adds, �manufacturers benefit from additional capabilities enabled by digital that add value to the package, such as the ability to print more colors for the same cost, VDP, and direct-to-board print instead of litho-lamination.�
Hiroshi Ono, product manager, Roland DGA Corporation, states that digital UV printers, such as the Roland VersaUV LEJ-640, deliver outstanding image quality and allow for the incorporation of white ink and unique varnishing/embossing effects. �It is more cost effective compared to traditional methods because users can switch jobs quickly and there are virtually no set-up costs. It also allows for just-in-time production, reducing inventory costs and waste,� he adds. With a digital approach, there is less labor and media waste. In addition, time is saved in clean up and space concerns are minimized by eliminating the need to store screens.
While screen and most offset technologies offer single- or two-color due to the cost of manufacturing, Larry D�Amico, VP digital imaging, Agfa Graphics, points out that digital inkjet presses combined with new ink sets produce four-color work or feature unique options such as white ink. �With digital, it is easy for PSPs to run full-color continuous projects, where this is a much more complicated process with screen and offset.� This gives PSPs with digital capabilities a competitive advantage.
�Due to the ample board size that a digital flatbed printer supports, it lends itself to printing onto large press-size sheets of paperboard as well as thicker corrugate that is not easy, or even possible, with a smaller in dimension sheet-fed digital printer,� notes Paar.
PSPs also gain flexibility with a digital flatbed device. �With a hybrid printer, for example, not only does a PSP have the ability to print on rigid, but also rolled media, making it a versatile piece of equipment,� adds Conrad. �In addition to expanded media options, users easily and quickly print short runs or specialty items without a long set-up or preparation time.�
Solutions Business Imaging of Vista, CA runs out of a 3,000 square foot shop with ten employees. A decade after opening, the company purchased its first flatbed printer and began using it for cardboard box prototyping.
The PSP selected a Mutoh ValueJet 1617H hybrid printer that allows for rolled media and flat media up to a half-inch thick. The device runs daily with a mixture of rolled and flat media such as paper, vinyl, and adhesive.
Adding a flatbed printer expands the services the shop offers its mostly high-end business sales and marketing clientele around San Diego, CA.
Packaging Caters to All
Digital printing impacts the corrugate space, particularly in high-end applications as it relates to retail. Emanuel notes that packaging made of corrugate boards, corrugate plastic, cardboard, and other rigid materials are placed both indoor and outdoor in various types of retail environments. Moreover, such media is often used for point of purchase (POP) displays in stores. Rigid packaging products are also utilized for product promotions such as three-dimensional floor sitting signage.
Howard agrees that much of what is produced is utilized in the retail space and product placement category. �This includes items such as product dump bins, end caps, and standees.� Some displays are even built into a standee display to hold any number of items. �By nature, standee displays are created per store/per package in shorter runs and are ideal for short-term POP applications,� adds D�Amico.
D�Amico also sees packaging aligning with the trend towards personalization. �Some companies already have Web sites where consumers load a personal image for use on a packaged product, such as a Kleenex box. Marketers use this for promotional purposes as well, for example, putting a company logo or quick response code on a package.�
Digital flatbed printers offer a cost-effective and efficient means for creating these short-run, customized, and highly personalized products.
�Private labeling and proliferation of SKUs drives more versioning of printed output, resulting in ever-shortening runs,� adds Kemelman. �Furthermore, as competition on the shelf toughens, manufacturers search for ways to differentiate products. As a result, the market is seeing a growing demand for creative product packaging and higher impact retail graphics.�
With a growing demand for shorter runs and customized package printing, it is an ideal offering for many print environments ranging from full-on production facilities with conventional equipment to smaller design/prepress areas within a shop. �Many companies involved in producing packaging already have a digital cutting solution. This is the perfect companion product to a digital flatbed printer and is a highly recommended for optimal capability,� notes Paar.
Cost-Effective Short Runs
Heritage Paper in Livermore, CA produces corrugate packaging and POP displays, fulfillment services, high-end wood crating, packaging supplies, digital folding cartons and labels, and digital print for trade partners in the area, largely serving the Northern CA industrial and food and wine markets. 165 employees are housed across multiple locations, totaling 300,000 square feet.
Heritage Paper opened in 1982 and bought its first digital printer in 2008. �At the time, we recognized an increase in the number of quotation requests from our customers for smaller quantity, high-quality jobs,� shares Michael Musgrave, VP/COO, Heritage Paper. �Our �then-current� offering of flexographic printing equipment was not well suited for this type of work, so we often had to present customers with quotes that were above budget. Our first digital printer helped us meet the growing demand for these types of jobs, as well as enter new market segments.�
At the time, screen was giving way to digital, �but screen is not a competitive technology in corrugate anyway,� notes Musgrave. �And offset requires too much investment for such a high direct cost and long lead times.� Heritage Paper wanted to be an early adopter of digital print in packaging because it differentiated them from the competition�offering clients a new type of service.
The print provider started with an EFI VUTEk QS3200. In 2011 it decided to purchase an HP Scitex FB7500 Industrial Press to meet the expanding needs of customers. Since then, the shop upgraded to an HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press, and most recently purchased the new HP Scitex FB10000 Industrial Press to complete its wide portfolio of hardware found on the production floor.
�The HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press is reliable, and offers a lower ink cost, along with a throughput capability, which allowed us to expand our digital packaging sales eight times over in the past two years,� says Musgrave. It also features optional gloss mode and variable data capability for value-added solutions. The shop keeps the press running around the clock, typically six days a week.
Heritage Paper is the first facility in the U.S. to install the new HP Scitex FB10000 Industrial Press. �This press allows us to compete with offset technology at speeds that allow us to enter high-quality and high-volume markets that digital printers traditionally did not possess the direct cost structure and/or print quality to enter,� shares Musgrave. At press time, Heritage Paper was just finishing install and training but anticipates the press will run two shifts, five days per week.
To complement the grand format digital UV press offering, the shop recently installed an HP Indigo WS6600 Digital Press to help customers in folding cartons and labels. The shop also owns a corrugator, a full offering of flexographic printing and converting equipment, and digital finishing options that are all industrial-level hardware running around the clock.
On a smaller scale, Digital Impact of Yeadon, PA was formed as a division of the VT Group in 2004 to further support the business� relationship with various POP display manufacturers and leading consumer products companies across Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.
Digital Impact works from a 23,000 square foot facility with nine employees to deliver eye-catching interior and exterior applications on a variety of flexible, transparent, semi-transparent, and rigid substrates for consumer products companies, retailers, and agencies.
The shop integrated the Durst Rho 900 and recently added the Durst Rho 1000 flatbed printers into its workflow to enhance product offerings to its customer base. Digital Impact runs the devices all day at eight hour shifts and enjoys the cost effective and fast production of packaging applications like counter displays, dump bins, and counter cards.
Proofing environments are also popular for rigid/corrugate packaging produced on digital flatbeds. �The ability to produce mock packages and designs in a hurry make flatbed or hybrid printers ideal for markets such as advertising and promotional printing environments,� says Conrad. �Proof of concept is huge; you only get one chance to make a first impression. Producing packaging with high-quality graphics and color helps make selling the concept to both small and large manufacturers easier.�
Paar agrees that digital printing is ideal for the production of prototypes. Even if the item is eventually printed on a high-volume press, it facilitates a faster design and development process in the beginning phases.
Conventional vs. Competition
As for the tipping point of profitability, it comes down to cost over point for digital conversion versus conventional. As printers become faster and more efficient, conventional production with plate expenses and manufacturing dyes do not compete as well with the cost-savings achieved by digital, particularly with shorter runs.
It is increasingly difficult to profitably produce packaging applications on analog equipment as demand for shorter runs and faster turnarounds increases. Digital presses offer added versatility, expand color, and provide faster turnaround on a large quantity of runs that once proved a challenge for PSPs.

We're not talking man-eating tigers or wild boars here—there are some limits to just how exotic you should go.
For a country as obsessed with weight and food production as ours is, there tends to be a lot of conflicting information, health-food fads and dietary gimmicks circulating about what and how we should eat.

We have some ideas.
Sure, you could take the easy route and head on over to Ikea or your local lawn-and-garden shop and pick up a few pieces of outdoor furniture for your backyard.

Everyone knows Christmas Day is all about tearing open presents, spending time with loved ones, gorging on lots of good food and celebrating the holiday spirit in general. Even though most of us have got the holiday thing down by now, some folks out there might not be aware of some of the unusual and history-making events marking Christmas Day and Christmas Eve in the past.
Christmas is almost upon us, but that doesn't mean you still can't have some fun with your holiday decorations. Maybe you're the kind of person who waits until the last minute to set up your tree, or perhaps you've noticed some bare spots on the limbs just crying out for a few more ornaments. Or maybe you need a last minute activity to keep the kids busy while they wait for the impending arrival of Santa Claus. Nothing is more maddening for a child than the last few days leading up to Christmas, before all of their holiday loot arrives.
Thanksgiving is a time for the family to come together, tell stories, then sit down and feast on some tasty, belly-expanding deliciousness. Turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie are all Thanksgiving staples, but if you want to really spice things up a bit this year, we have some ideas.
These days, most of the turkeys people gobble down are fattened up on farms. They're only pale (under their feathers) imitations of the lean, mean turkeys roaming through the woods of North America

China's Xi Offers to Reduce Friction Over Hotspots
By Charles Hutzler
BOAO, China -- With pressure growing on Beijing to get North Korea to step back from its war-like footing, Chinese President Xi Jinping said Sunday that no one country should be allowed to upset world peace and added China would work to reduce tensions over regional hotspots.
In a speech to a regional business forum with political leaders from Australia to Zaire present, Xi did not offer any concrete plans for how to deal with China's neighbor, North Korea, which has elevated regional tensions through warlike rhetoric and missile deployments in recent weeks. Nor did Xi offer concessions to other neighbors locked in fraught disputes with Beijing over outlying islands: Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam.
It isn't clear whether Xi was taking a swipe at North Korea or at the United States, a frequent target of Chinese criticism, when he criticized unilateral acts that threaten stability."The international community should advocate the vision of comprehensive security and cooperative security, so as to turn the global village into a big stage for common development rather than an arena where gladiators fight each other. And no one should be allowed to throw the region, or even the whole world, into chaos for selfish gains," Xi said at the Boao Forum for Asia, a China-sponsored talk shop for the global elite. Ambiguity aside, Xi's speech stands in contrast to more strident remarks he has made in recent months and marks an effort to strike an active, cooperative posture to calm regional tensions. This year's Boao meeting -- an annual event billed as Asia's version of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland -- is being watched for signs of whether Xi, installed in power five months ago, is ready to stake out new directions in a foreign policy that has been bullying toward some neighbors and passive on many international security issues. The new Xi government is being especially challenged over North Korea. Pyongyang's ratcheting up of tensions in recent months -- from tests of a long-range missile and a nuclear device to threats of nuclear strikes -- have concerned South Korea and the United States, important economic partners for China which have looked to Beijing to rein in its longtime, if estranged communist ally.

Latest Retail Features Articles
The majority of those still in the running are financial firms, although it is understood there also are some nonfinancial companies interested. Among the financial firms is J.W. Childs and one industry player is Elie Tahari.
Executives at J.W. Childs did not return calls for comment. Freeman Spogli & Co., another financial company, also made it to the second round of bidding and was keen on Barneys but has now dropped out, financial sources said. Partners at the firm could not be reached for comment. Both J.W. Childs and Freeman Spogli also passed on an investment in Fortunoff, an investment banker said.
As for designer Tahari, he's still looking for a financial partner. Some merger and acquisition specialists here and in London said that Howard Tillman, the owner of Jaeger, is one possible candidate and that he is in the middle of conducting due diligence. Others close to Barneys' financial circle say that they're not aware of any "snooping of the books" by Tillman, however. A spokeswoman for Tillman said he is traveling and could not be reached for comment. Tahari also could not be reached for comment.
Barneys New York was put on the auction block at the end of June by its owners, Whippoorwill Associates and Bay Harbour Management, the two backers that pulled the upscale retailer out from bankruptcy. Peter J. Solomon Co. and Morgan Stanley are the investment advisers to Barneys.
Of the financial buyers that initially stepped up to the plate, six reached the second round of bidding, and Tahari, considered an industry player, was the seventh to move into round two, according to merger and acquisition specialists. Sources said that management presentations were made to the seven potential bidders. How many will actually make a final offer remains to be seen, but investment bankers said as many as three or four "are likely."
By now, the parties are in their final stages of due diligence. Bidders have already had extensive discussions with their lenders, and with their due diligence nearly done, are preparing letters of commitment for financing, investment sources said.

Being a Scab
January 17th 2013 21:00
One of the best things about shopping at Westfield Bondi Junction is getting to sample free food. It seems to happen a lot on the first floor where you can go to the David Jones food hall and sample anything from gourmet chocolates to muesli. Towards the other end of the same floor, right near the deli, is where I can get free banana bread. Occasionally I will find free lollies, popcorn, juice, sorbet, fried chicken and garlic bread.
Then you can head for the fifth floor where T2 is located. There you can sample free cold and hot teas as well as jam and bread.
So technically this must make me a freegan as often I will be feeling peckish so I will deliberately wander into those areas just to get a free feed. Recently one lady let me sample several of her muesli varieties.
Im a pig, I warned her. If you say I can have it, I will eat it. She didnt seem to mind. But one night I was shopping at Kinokuniya and noticed there was a tray of leftover sushi where they were launching a new art exhibition. A guy was there who was trying to clear the tables. I looked at the sushi and he offered it to me so I sampled one of them, even though they were all seafood rolls. It tasted much better than I expected to I kept going. I must have eaten at least five of them before some smart alec said, Look at her. She keeps going.
I looked at him and said, Well, theyre about to go in the bin. He then resumed his conversation with his friend.
Im just trying to help the planet by preventing unwanted food from going to landfill. Butterscotch and Gingersnap were the same. Somehow they had learnt how to tip Bretts kitchen bin over so they can raid it for any leftovers. Clever boys.

Hmm, oona, did you line the front pleats of the skirt portion up with the front bust darts? I much prefer your dress to how mine is turning out, with the skirt darts more to the sides. But I don't think I want to pick the seams to fix it…
May 18, 2008, 07.05 AMby stephaniemorgan
wow… it's lovely!
Apr 5, 2008, 10.38 AMby surfingonalemon

Mar 7, 2008, 01.25 AMby lilo

Mar 6, 2008, 05.48 PMby laurenfortgang
I love the fabric too! I've been wanting to do a sleeveless Danielle. I think whatever fabric is in the background (maybe a tablecloth) is really cute too…it would make a funky lining! I love doing these patterns in really casual fabric. I'm working on a summery casual Cate…. Keep up the fantastic work!!

It´soooo cute!! love the fabric!
Mar 5, 2008, 07.59 PMby oonaballoona
a pun AND a quote from rocky?? i'm in heaven.
thank you all for the compliments! my husband is wondering why i'm smiling at my computer screen like a loon…
olar, i have a small bust too, it measures to 34 but there ain't much there. i sewed the darts at the smallest size, then kept taking them in till it fit. then i centered the long strip below the top, cut the excess off the ends, and made the pleats bigger on the skirt so that all the pieces matched. i'm SURE there was an easier way to do that…
Mar 5, 2008, 07.32 PMby wendyxo
So pretty. Nice job.
Mar 5, 2008, 06.14 PMby daicrinne
Your version looks great! It fits you so well and actually makes me want to try this pattern! Great job!

Mar 5, 2008, 05.13 PMby olar
You are in a roll! Great stuff. I am going to try this dress, it looks so pretty on you. Please tell me, is it difficult to get the top to fit? I have very small bust…
Mar 5, 2008, 05.05 PMby nehmah
"Ya done good, Louie!" This is very well-fitted. Enjoy the compliments when you wear it out. Nehmah
Mar 5, 2008, 04.33 PMby daowebe
Wow! If this is your first dress I can't wait to see what you can do with a little more confidence. Your fit is absolutely perfect and has a very finished look. You didn't scrimp on the details either. GREAT job! You will definitely turn some heads when you "spring" this one on your friends. (sorry, couldn't resist the pun)

It's the end of another great month here at Techie Buzz, several good and bad things happened during the month, and we will discuss them in this post. Unlike the last month roundup, we are including some basic statistics this time around, due to requests from our readers.
Basic Blog Stats for August 2008
No of Posts: 90
In August we wrote 90 posts which is comparatively lower than the 110 posts we wrote in July, there were several reasons for this and we will talk about them in the post, in the problems we faced section.
Traffic Statistics
Traffic increased significantly over July 2008, but there were 14 days of a lean patch which lost us quite a bit of traffic. Overall we were happy with the traffic, but it could have been much higher had we not been in a lean patch for 14 days of this month.
- Total Unique Visitor: 80000+
- Page Views: 150000+
- Search Engine Traffic: 52.51%
- Referring Sites: 36.94%
- Direct Traffic: 10.56%
As you can see our main source of traffic, search engines dropped significantly by over 25%, and most of those were in the 14 days lean patch, keep reading to know what went wrong in those 14 days. In September we would see a definite increase and hope to see these figures changing significantly.
Feed Subscribers
We gained over 200 readers this month, but several problems including the recent move to Google account lost us few on the way. We are clearly not happy with the numbers here and will be trying to significantly increase the number of regular readers.
Other Interesting News
We moved the top commentators widget to the sidebar from the bottom, this will give all our commentators a site-wide backlink on the first scroll of the page, so gear up those comments to get into the list.
Problems we Faced in August 2008
There were several problems we faced in this month, which lost us significant subscribers as well as traffic and a huge chunk from the revenue. The first was the hosting setup which conked off for a day, nose-diving our feed subscribers to almost half, though there were several things we needed to tweak, our servers are now running pretty good with 100% uptime for 2 weeks in a row now.
Another big problem we faced was becoming a victim of Google Dance, where for 14 days in a row Google Search dropped the traffic it sent us by over 90%. We are not sure what exactly the problem was, but yes it was a nightmare, going from over 3000+ hits from search engines to less than 400 per day is a webmasters nightmare. We not only lost significant amount of traffic, it also nose-dived our confidence level.
We overcame the situation and after irregular posting for 5 days were back to normalcy, though Google did not restore the normalcy with Search engine results for another ten days. We contacted Google Webmasters several times over the issue, asking them what our mistakes were, but didn't get any response from there. We learnt a big lesson from this, always follow the guidelines laid down by Google Webmasters, if you are not sure what is wrong, try contacting them, but, don't expect a response back. The normalcy will be restored, but nothing is in your hands, except for the fact that you need to follow any guidelines laid down by them.
Another thing many people may advice you is that don't over-rely on Google for your traffic, we would like to contrast that statement, because more than half of the top blogs without Google Traffic will look like newbies.
Goals for September 2008
Well there are several internal goals we have setup for this month and few of those include not getting tangled in with Google again :), increasing feed subscribers and of course increasing traffic and revenue.
Well most of these goals are every websites dream, we would refrain from discussing numbers as we would like to focus on giving the best content to you, and leave the rest of the worrying to ourselves.
Top Posts in August 2008

Here's Jersey Shore's walking around Miami yesterday and it's impressive to see a girl so young already master the look and charm of a middle-aged Shauna Sand. And by impressive I mean I can't wait to see this chick pull her kids' toys out of her Cannoli-tunnel in front of the paparazzi. It's the logical progression.
JWoww should show more cleavage
what is she, like 45?
It just a fucking "ugly convention" around her
JWoww: Mega Trailer Whore. Pic 7-8: HAVE MERCY
I think Gretchen Wilson will look like JWoww in about 14 more years:
The fake boobs just hide the damage the cigarettes are doing until it's too late. Smoke up girls, the cancer is just getting closer and closer.
So what she smokes?
Any guy would nail her in a microsecond.
Whether or not they rode her bareback..depends on how brave they are.
She's the girl with 11 minutes left from her 15 minutes and still looks
hotter than that Michelle "Bombshell" Bitch.
I'm not trying to preach but she's probrably chain smoking to cut her appetite so she will look good in her bikini.
Unfortunately, this is also aging the skin on her face. Plus I'm sure she is a drinker. All of this combined is not going to help the way she looks when she reach her 30′s.
I've worked in retail and I see this all the time. It's usually women with skin like leather that has the voice so deep they sound like a man.
thank you
Looks like my 70 year old neighbor. No joke.
Tell you a story, used to have mountains, hills have temple, the temple has a monk. . .
Those boobs were a good investment – they draw the attention away from that fug face!
Why is there a huge troll doll beside her?

State of the art animation, taken to it's full potential. The most notable example would be right when the opening credits start after the preview where there's a beautiful aerial shot of the church with a glaring sun in the background. Absolutely breathtaking. I speak mostly for the music. Great songs for the OP/ED credits. What gives this category an 11 is the amazing orchestral background music throughout the anime and the beautiful insert in the end. The sound fx were great, very fitting with all the magic and the like going on.

after virus, and system reloading, can i still get office to work?
i bought microsoft office online about 9 months ago. recently, i just had a virus and my system was totally reset. before i reset it i pulled the office files from program files x86 and left it on my desktop, which the guys saved for me to cd. however now it's asking for a product key. the problem is i dont know it. i believe that was sent to an old email address which no longer exists.
is there a way for me to recover my old product key, and get office to work again on this computer, or will i have to buy another one?

Police arrested 94 people for driving while Intoxicated (DWI). Of those, police say 33 people took a breathalyzer test, 61 people had blood drawn.
Of the breath samples collected, 65 percent had a blood alcohol content of .15 or higher.
In 2011, the state began enforcing harsher punishments for those with blood alcohol concentrations of .15 or higher. Drivers and boaters with those levels can face up to a year of jail time and a $4,000 fine.
The state's legal blood alcohol content level for intoxication is .08.
According to APD, more than one-fourth of last year's traffic deaths were alcohol related.

Eat Your Beer at the Blue Point Beer Dinner at Wicked Awesome Snackbar on July 14
Categories: Beer Beer Beer, Happening
|Bernt Rostad via Flickr Creative Commons
|Have it in liquid and food forms on July 14.
"We think beer is really easy to cook with because of the wide palate available," Berger said. "It's fun to use 'cause there are so many different beers."
This affection for barley and hops is what led to the Blue Point Brewing Company beer dinner pairing planned for Saturday, July 14, at the restaurant. Working with Brown Distributing Co., Wicked Awesome Snackbar will offer five courses, each of which will be paired with a quaff from Blue Point's catalog.
Among the combos are a deconstructed Reuben "sandwich" meatball matched with Blue Point's Rastafa Rye, which Berger cited as a natural match, given that there's rye in the bread and the beer. Another pairing brings together a spicy chicken samosa with mango-beer chutney and the Hoptical Illusion IPA. Many of the dishes that will be served that night incorporate the beer itself into the recipe, like a mac 'n' cheese made with Toasted Lager and served with the same brew alongside.
Planning the meal in advance was something of a challenge for Berger. While the restaurant operates with a standing menu, he tends to let nature dictate a significant percentage of what's being served, based on what's in season and what his suppliers say is good that day or week. Because he's planning so far ahead for the July 14 dinner, he had to make certain concessions.
"Fish dishes are out, since we don't know what we can get in two weeks," Berger said, adding that nothing is set in stone. "If we get something great that day, we'll swap the menu."
The meal will be served family style in a laid-back environment. The capacity for the event is about 35 people and if necessary, he will add a second seating. Berger hopes to make the beer dinners a monthly occurrence. Tickets are $30 per person. Call 561-883-3200 to reserve a spot.

Christchurch teachers are expected to hold strike in opposition to school closures, mergers and amendments to the Education Act.
The strike comes a day after
Education Minister Hekia Parata announced which schools would close and
merge under the major network overhaul that proposes to close 11 schools
and put 26 through some form of merger.
Educators are also concerned about amendments to the Education Act
that will legalise charter schools and double-bunking but will outlaw
searching pupils for drugs and weapons.
