Although I pride myself on the fact that I can find wine to go with just about anything, last night I opted to serve beer. I have really been enjoying craft beer lately, and I know that I am not alone. I am certainly no beer expert at this point, but I love the roasty toastiness of a brown ale. I find it to be a great accompaniment to the smokiness of the brats, the caramelization of pan sauteed onions, and the earthiness of the Kalamata olive vinaigrette soaked grilled red potatoes.
I highly recommend grabbing a six-pack of the Maduro Brown Ale from Cigar City. Their tasting notes are as follows:
"Maduro is a Northern English-style brown ale with some American affectations. Maduro is higher in alcohol than the common English brown ale and features flaked oats in the malt bill which imparts a silky body and works to mesh the roasted, toasted and chocolate components together in Maduro's complex malt profile. The end result is a remarkably full-flavored yet approachable and sessionable brown ale that pairs well with mild to medium cigars."
Do you have a favorite wine or beer pairing? Please share
Cheers!
