Beer and food pairings
Entertaining should be as painless for you as it is pleasant for your guests. This guide to pairing beer with different holiday flavours furnishes you with no mixing required options for seasonal merrymaking.
Regardless of the variety of crudité or appetizer, the versatility of beer is up to the challenge, with a wealth of aromas and flavours that will put a smile on faces.
Fried or Breaded Appetizers
A versatile all-rounder, People’s Pint Helles Island American Lager (LCBO 10105, 473 mL, $3.25) features a light-bodied spicy, floral character that lifts crispy appetizers and is equally at home with a bowl of nuts.
Charcuterie Boards
The rich, biscuity sweetness and floral, eucalyptic bitterness of Beau’s Local Organic (LCBO 19358, 473 mL, $3.95) stands up to the salt and fat of cured meat, pâté and even pickles.
