Wynkoop Brewing Company, 1634 18th Street, is celebrating April Fools' Day a little late this year at its $40 Spring Beer Dinner, starting at 6:30 p.m. Get in the silly spirit with some unusual cuisine, including panzanella salad with beer-bread croutons, lamb-and-risotto meatballs and a chili-beer granita in a burnt-orange sugar cup.

Firenze a Tavola, the downstairs area at Parisi, 4401 Tennyson Street, is also presenting a multi-course meal at its monthly Community Table, which starts at 7 p.m.; this round is inspired by springtime and Grandma's home cooking. A seat costs $30; call 303-561-0234 or visit www.parisidenver.com.
