Grill & Chill
Fal pairs summer grill favs with brews
Fal is our well-known master of the brewhouse. Turns out he also wields a spatula to rule the grill with equal authority. Since the season’s here we asked him for his favorite pairings of beer and grilled perfection:
Steak & Boont Amber
The roastiness of the caramel malts will pick up perfectly with the roast on the meat.
Ribs & Bourbon Barrel Stout
The bourbon and chocolate flavors of the Stout mingling with roasted sweet and spicy BBQ of ribs are match made in Heaven.
Fish & Boonville Gold
You want a bright clean beer that won’t overpower the light flavors of the fish, but will match them and bring out its natural refined deliciousness
Italian Sausage & Hop Ottin’ IPA
Hop Ottin’ IPA is strong enough to stand up to the spices in a good sausage and can cut through them to match its flavors.
Chicken & Poleeko Pale Ale
Poleeko has a nice malt backbone and a solid hop bitterness—it is perfect for the white, slightly sweet, flavors of chicken or fish.
Burgers & Black Rice Ale
Black Rice’s bready and roasted notes will pair perfectly with the roasted meat flavors created by grilling a burger.
portobello Mushrooms & Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout
Barney Flat’s rich dark chocolate, roasty malt and bread flavors match this most meaty of all mushrooms, which are earthy and rich with nutty and braised meat notes.
Pizza & Boonville Gold
Boonville Gold’s balance and crisp hop bitterness matches pizza’s salty and spicy demands for a versatile beer that can dance with those flavors and any toppings you might encounter.
