Cali-based beer sommeliers Christina Perozzi and Hallie Beaune's The Naked Pint: An Unadulterated Guide to Craft Beer, which dropped last week, is an exhaustive road map for the craft beer curious, touching on beer varieties, history, food pairing, home brewing, tasting and more. The ladies will be in town next Monday, Nov. 16, for a book launch party and beer dinner at Fork, and female reps from breweries like Sly Fox, Victory, Stoudt's, Dogfish Head, Ommegang and Rogue will be in attendance. Check out the menu and beer pairings after the jump.

Want your own copy of The Naked Pint to have and hold? Just be the first to correctly answer the following beer/lady-related trivia questions. E-MAIL ANSWERS TO DREW.LAZOR@CITYPAPER.NET, SUBJECT LINE: THE NAKED PINT. DO NOT LEAVE ANSWERS IN THE COMMENTS. Good luck!
