Food Pairings

Memorial Day weekend is here, and with it comes warmer temperatures, cold beer, and backyard grilling with friends and family. You might be thinking, "it's a backyard BBQ, as long as the ice chest is full it doesn't matter which beers are in there," but I'm telling you some are going to wash that smoky, grilled meat down much better than others.

Crispy, tender Carnitas. Crunchy, battered fish dowsed in lime. Bold salsas in red, green, and gold. Cooling guacamole and sour cream to chill your scorched tongue. Let's talk about your Cinco de Mayo plans.

Whether you plan on wowing your guests (at the adults table) with a Thanksgiving meal beer flight, want to know which beer will complement your favorite side dish, or just want a suggestion to pair with your entire meal, we've created a complete Thanksgiving Meal beer pairings list to cover all of the bases.

Just as we did for Chocolate Cupcake Day, we have selected a tasty beer dessert recipe for Vanilla Cupcake Day. We thought there'd be no better pairing than beer, bacon, and cake. We'll see if you agree with us after baking up a batch of these cupcakes.

It's Chocolate Cupcake Day, so we thought we'd post our Chocolate Stout Cupcake recipe to show off just how delicious beer can make a cupcake! Stout in your cupcake, and Bailey's in your buttercream if you're feeling bold.
