Gourdzilla Launch; Pacific Northwest-Inspired Dinner

EXPOSITION—Want a taste of Deep Ellum Brewing Company's new seasonal pumpkin ale, the aptly named Gourdzilla? Head on over to Craft & Growler right about now, or neighbors Pizza Lounge or Meridian Room starting at 5 p.m.; those are the only places you'll be able to drink it tonight. [Eaterwire]

UPTOWN—On Sunday, November 10, Belly & Trumpet chef Brian Zenner will present a six-course menu inspired by the time he spent living in the Pacific Northwest. Expect dishes like gnocchi with Oregon black truffles, manila clams with Serrano ham, and Kobe beef with Swiss chard. Seats are $95 per person, plus $45 for wine pairings; call B&T at 214-855-5551 to reserve. [Eaterwire]

MOCKINGBIRD/UPTOWN—Chalk up another addition to the growing list of kitschy seasonal pumpkin offerings: Urban Taco is bringing back its pumpkin pie-flavored frozen margarita (dubbed the "Spookirita") from October 28 to October 31. Show up in costume for a free one; otherwise, it's $5. [Eaterwire]
