Pairings

Most of us love a drink of the “golden beverage”, although a few truly gourmet connoisseurs also know that beer is incredible when paired with some awesome culinary recipes.

Food traditions in countries such as Italy and France are already very accustomed to the use of red and white wine in many recipes, so why not extending the same use to high quality beers? If you are a fan of craft beer, you certainly know that different beers have the same different nuances and details, much like the qualities of different types of wine.

Below, you’ll find some our favorite beer-fueled recipes!
