ARLINGTON, VA -- Shake Shack hosted a "Burgers & Brews" event Wednesday night, at its new location at Pentagon City, to show off some of its menu paired with Alexandria's own Port City brews. Offering beer made by award-winning Port City on its menu is part of an ongoing commitment by Shake Shack to partner with local craftsman, bakers, brewers and other purveyors to help support the community and create a fun environment for guests and Shack fans.

Here are some Port City and Shake Shack pairings you might want to try next time you need to take a break from shopping at Pentagon City:

One of the pairings Wednesday night by Shake Shack and Port City: Port City's award-winning Monumental IPA was paired with the SmokeShack, a Cheeseburger topped with all-natural applewood smoked bacon, chopped cherry pepper and ShackSauce. See it here:

Also on the menu was a vanilla frozen custard beer float (see below) made with Port City Brewing's Porter which features bittersweet flavors of coffee and dark chocolate.

Love hot dogs? You'll want to try Shake Shack's Shack-Cago Dog (pictured below), described as being "dragged through the garden with Rick's Picks Shack relish, onion, cucumber, pickle, tomato, sport pepper, celery salt, mustard," it was paired with Port City's Ways and Means Rye Session IPA. The beer features a spicy, peppery character, which comes from a generous addition of rye malt.
