Wakefield of Wakefield Brewery have created a special Cinco de Mayo dinner with a Miami twist. The five-course dinner prepared by Cesar Zapata will be paired with beer from Wakefield Brewery that are selected by Benn. Word is "other concoctions" will also be on hand — we're not entirely sure what those "concoctions" might be but considering the night our money is on tequila.

Coyo's Dynamic Cinco de Mayo Block Party
