Look for the Smog City Tropical Farmhouse Saison to be matched with a Fried Chicken Tender, oh goodness, for starters. Fancy an IPA? That'll be on the flight, alongside a Fried Chicken Slider with Smog City Little Bo Pils tomato bacon jam.

And bringing it all home? The Smog City Coffee Porter, which will go taste bud-to-taste bud with an Churro Doughnut.

The sudsy-meets-sweet meet-up'll take place from 2 to 6 p.m. on the patio of Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken. Again, this is the Santa Monica location, and not DTLA.
