Beer—The Perfect Accompaniment To Any Meal
While matching wine with food includes weighing factors like flavour, vintage, dryness and acidity, matching beer with food is far more straightforward. It can be used to complement, contrast or cut flavour intensity. And, because beer is much more versatile, it can be paired with a larger variety of foods.
Try These Appealing Tastes:
- Lighter-flavoured beer should be paired with lighter-flavoured meals. For example, salmon with lemon goes well with beer that has citrus notes.
- More flavourfull foods such as game meats and other full-bodied meals generally pair well with more flavourful beers.
- Generally if a beer is used to marinate a dish, it should be served alongside it. A steak marinated in a dark abbey ale, a Belgian specialty, should be served with one.
- And, why not serve beer with dessert? Fruit beers go well with desserts and also act as palate cleansers, eliminating the need for sorbet.
Beer is Good for You
Well we have known this all along, but now Dr. Ken Walker a.k.a. syndicated columnist, W.Gifford Jones has given his stamp of approval.
"Beer has no caffeine, no cholesterol, no fat," says Dr. Ken Walker. "In moderation, it is very sound medication." He even goes on to say it can be credited with saving lives.
Similar arguments have been made about the medicinal qualities of red wine. A couple of beers a night is good, apparently. Three or four is OK. But any more is trouble. The real problem, according to Walker, is the habits that go along with beer. Beer bellies aren't just the result of drinking too many suds. It's the nachos dripping with cheese, chips, and fried chicken wings that are often consumed with beer.
In the Middle Ages, beer was safer to consume than water. And until recently some countries gave pregnant women a half-pint of Stout a day because it was considered nutritious.
