This year, join the revolution of Craft Beer followers and pour beer at your Thanksgiving supper. Today, the trend continues to grow whereby drinkers are substituting beer for wine and spirits during meals. There are so many choices of beer brands, styles, and now breweries.
Back when the pilgrims served their first big meal to give thanks and welcome in the New World - it was beer they drank. Let's continue that tradition and serve a micro crafted beer on Thursday!
We, at Nor'easter Brewing, recommend a medium to dark beer that favored the sweetness from malted barley with only slight undertones of hop bitterness and aroma. The beer should not be overly hopped and have a light to medium body. We endorse a beer style with a roasted malt and caramel flavor to compliment the feast. The carbonation from beer will assist your digestion and serve as an excellent means to cleanse your pallet between all the food choices.
There are no strict rules on pairing beer with your Thanksgiving dishes. We might endorse you start, before the meal, with a Brown Ale, ESB (Extra Special Bitter), or a seasonal Fall beer.
Nor'easter Brewing's releases for 'What's Brewing...' has reported on beer and food pairing in our past blogs (refer to Pairing Food with Beer). We would not endorse an IPA (India Pale Ale) type style but instead try a Pilsner or a Brown Ale, or a Belgium Pale Ale or Saison with the meal would be an excellent choice. If you are smoking the Turkey, a Stout or a Porter would be wonderful. Ask your favorite package store to recommend a local craft brewed beer that fits these styles. Please remember, craft beer tastes better served at the correct temperature - NOT too cold. Refer to our earlier releases for the correct temperature.
If you are a guest, why not bring a 6pack of your favorite craft beer to your host, drop the hint for next year!
Have a great meal. Cheers!
