Justin's Perfect Pairing
Justin's Perfect Pairing
At a recent company bottle share we polled our team members and asked, "What three beers would you choose to pair with a Holiday-style meal and why?" The answers were so good we had to share with you!
This food forward pairing set features two 750-ml. bottles and one 4-pack of 16oz cans of the following:
Shegöat (2022)Weizenbock ale | 8.7%
"Pair with banana bread! This weizenbock has banana esters, notes of clove as well as a subtle spice character that would match nicely this holiday favorite."
Bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout with cookies, peppermint, and milk sugar | 14.1%
"Andrew took my answer here. He's got a good pairing trio. But this is too easy. I'd pair this with a no-bake Oreo pie. Make sure that crust is an oreo one! Pairing similar with similar is the way to go here with the peppermint of the Brookie adding that unique layer of distinctness."
Sour rye ale with Roussanne grapes aged in oak barrels | 10.2%
"Given how similar this beer is to a white wine you could pair it with many things, but I'd go with a dessert tray of cheeses with honey and bright dried fruits like apricot. The tartness of the beer will cut through any of the creamier cheeses (brie or gruyere) and that layer of mixed culture 'funk' would even pair nicely with a taleggio."
