Brett's Perfect Pairing
Brett'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 of three features one 750-ml. bottle each of the following:
Room For YouSour blonde ale aged in oak barrels with peaches and nectarines | 6.3%
"I'd pair this with my Grandma's peach cobbler, the acidity of the beer will emphasize the bright fruit character and balance the sweetness of the cobbler. Cinnamon and holiday spices will compliment the subtle spice notes from the wild yeast."
Ale aged in bourbon barrels with peach, apricot, cinnamon and vanilla | 13.6%
"This one might be a little bit of a reach for some, but in our family we have a turkey stuffing that has a little more fruit character than traditional stuffings. Slices of apple, cranberries and some subtle holiday spices would compliment the cinnamon, vanilla and fruit character of this beer. If you don't have a stuffing like this, then....apple pie!"
Sour Blonde Ale aged in oak barrels with Raspberries and Rhubarb | 6%
"A raspberry or cranberry compote over a cheese danish would pair nicely here. The bright red berry character of the beer would compliment raspberry or cranberry options while the tartness would play nicely with the sugary sweetness of the compote."
