Beer & Food Pairings

Review: Guinness Nitro Stout & Guinness Beer Flavored Chips Pairing

Guinness Nitro Stout & Guinness Beer Flavored Chips Pairing: This was one of those spur of the moment beer pairings that started with the question “hey do you want some Guinness chips?”. After grabbing that bag of chips from the grocery store, I felt compelled to pick up a can of Guinness and try them for…

BC Beer and BC Cheese Pairing – Village 6 Year Old Cheddar and Strange Fellows Talisman Pale Ale

Village 6 Year Old Cheddar and Strange Fellows Talisman Pale Ale: For this beer and cheese pairing I decided to put a pale ale and aged cheddar togeother, which is a standard favourite and a good go-to pairing option for any occasion. Pale Ales, Amber Ales and Red Ales all tend to pair up quite nicely…

BC Beer and BC Cheese Pairing – Mt Lehman Blue Capri and Central City Brewing Thor’s Hammer Barleywine

Mt. Lehman Blue Capri and Central City Thor’s Hammer Barleywine: I have to start this post by giving a full on shout out to Ken Beattie from Eureka Beer Guide who introduced me to pairing blue cheese and Barleywine together. It truly created what he refers to as a “Eureka Moment” when I first tried it…

BC Beer and BC Cheese Pairing – Mt Lehman Cheese Co Gozzarella & Steel & Oak Smoked Hefeweizen

Mt Lehman Cheese Co Gozzarella & Steel & Oak Smoked Hefeweizen: Sometimes I’ll put a beer and cheese together just to see what happens and other times my pairing is specifically intentional to attempt to recreate a flavour combination like I did with this one. I wanted try and emulate a smoked mozzarella flavour in this cheese…

BC Beer and BC Cheese Pairing – Smits & Co.w Gone Goatee Cheese & Old Abbey Ales Belgian Quad

Smits & Co.w Gone Goatee & Old Abbey Ales Belgian Quad: In this pairing I feature two products from two producers in the neighbouring towns of Abbotsford and Chilliwack in British Columbia. It is incredible to see the growth in the outskirts of Greater Vancouver in farming towns such as these ones, each worthy of a local…

BC Beer and BC Cheese Pairing – Kootenay Meadows Nostrala & Cannery Naramata Nut Brown Ale

Kootenay Meadows Nostrala & Cannery Naramata Nut Brown Ale: In this pairing I feature two products from two different interior regions of British Columbia, each being an independent producer of beer or cheese. I luckily got to sample this cheese before buying a decent sized serving of it and I figured the earthy and nutty tasting notes…

BC Beer and BC Cheese Pairing – Moonstruck Ash Ripened Camembert & Moon Under Water Brett IPA

Moonstruck Ash Ripened Camembert & Moon Under Water Brett IPA: In this pairing, my intent was to explore how the Brettanomyces in the Farmhouse IPA mixed with some of the mild funk in a typical Camembert cheese, while also seeing how the ash interacted with the beer. I also couldn’t resist pairing  two products with the word…

BC Beer and BC Cheese Pairing – Little Qualicum Cheeseworks Brie & Dageraad Blonde

Little Qualicum Cheeseworks Brie & Dageraad Blonde: Featuring another delicious brie cheese, in this post my intention was to explore  melding of spicy yeast esters from a Belgian blonde ale and a the creamy buttery flavours of a soft creamy cheese. This style of beer can be paired with all kinds of cheeses, but it is best with a…

BC Beer and BC Cheese Pairing – Natural Pastures Comox Brie & Category 12 Brewing Saison

Natural Pastures Comox Brie & Category 12 Saison: Admittedly, I am a huge fan of brie cheese (who isn’t right?) so you’ll likely see a lot of brie cheeses or similar varieties on this blog because I find them to be utterly delicious. For this pairing, my intention was to couple the spices from a…

BC Beer and BC Cheese Pairing – Village Amber Ale Cheese with Driftwood Pale Ale

Village Amber Ale Cheese and Driftwood New Growth Pale Ale: Continuing with my beer and cheese pairing experimentation on this blog, I managed to find a cheese that was already infused with an Amber Ale for my next beer and cheese pairing adventure. Most Pale Ales will pair up nicely with a sharp cheddar cheese, or even…

BC Beer and BC Cheese Pairing – The Farmhouse Brie with Old Yale Witbier

The Farmhouse Brie with Old Yale Witbier: In general wheat based ales aren’t massive palate busters, so in order to incorporate them into a good beer and cheese pairing be sure to look for a delicate cheese that won’t over power the beer. You’ll want something that will work to cut into the fat a…

BC Beer and BC Cheese Pairing – Village Maple Cheddar with Cannery Maple Stout

Village Maple Cheddar with Cannery Maple Stout: Beer and cheese make a natural pairing as both are farmhouse foods, they often have great cutting and complementing characteristics, and BC just so happens to have great craft brewers and artisan cheese makers – so I thought this would make a fun feature to try out on…

Craft Beer Pairings – Pumpkin Pie and Pumpkin Beers

I like pumpkin, I like it a lot and although I was not a huge fan of the pumpkin beer seasonal creep we have been witnessing in the craft beer world and coffee land I still can appreciate a good pumpkin beer and pumpkin spice latte as long as they aren’t overly sweet. The highlight…

Craft Beer Pairings – Chocolate Stout & Chocolate Desserts

Another easy and kind of obvious pairing here, yet at the same time it is really intriguing how these work together. I had this beer by a brewery I was not impressed with (if you see this 4 pack in BC, in my opinion avoid it as most of the beer I had was expired).…

Craft Beer Pairings – Lindemans Framboise Lambic & Vanilla Ice Cream

One of the things I learned more about in my Prud’homme Level 1 Beer Enthusiast Certification was how to better pair craft beers with food. I’ve done some experimentation since and thought I would start sharing some of the best ones. Craft Beer – Lindemans Framboise Lambic, which is a Belgian Lambic Beer that is first…

Import Craft Beers – Breakside Salted Caramel Stout

  To celebrate National Beer Day yesterday, I had a collaboration brew from Portland, OR called Salted Caramel Stout by Breakside Brewery (6.7% alc, collaboration brew with Salt & Straw, poured at home from a 22oz bottle). If you have ever been to Portland and walked by the Salt and Straw Ice Cream locations, they always have line…
