Beer Gifts Paired with great Food

Have you ever considered delving into the notion of pairing beer with your favorite food?  This doesn't mean that you go out and find a great brat and cook it in your best beer either. I am even suggesting that you go beyond pizza and burgers too. Try out some of the following ideas! You might find that there is more than one way to enjoy a fine can of beer.Cheese is one food that is usually associated with wines and champagne. Discover how good a nice brie tastes with a fine wheat beer. Apples like Gravensteins is another successful pairing with a Belgian ale. There are the ester, or fruity, characteristics that are frequently found in apple or pear-like fruit while the truffle honey harmonizes with the slight honey notes Belgian ales are known to have. Also, the flavors of gouda cheese compliment the Brett characters that are found in the beer.

Strains of wild yeasts such as Brettanomyces, along with the lactic acid-producing bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, which are normally considered contaminants in beer and wine making circles. They are used to deliver rare sensory profiles by brewers who are willing to take risks as to both the changeableness of the results and the observation of the public.

The company Baskets by Rita offers an assortment of beer gifts and beer tub gifts, birthday and beer gifts online as gifts to those beer authority. Their gifts are designed in useful containers that are functional when the goodies are being consumed and after they are gone. ”Perfect for any occasion”, say VanWoerkom, owner of the company.
