I know this doesn’t relate specifically to the activities of Cheshire Peaks Brewery, but I just found an interesting series of blog posts on the BBC Food web site about pairing food with beer.
As I’ve become more and more interested in beer over the last couple of years (both making and drinking!), I have realised what a broad and complex thing the world of beer is. Most people immediately think to drink wine with a fine meal. To drink beer with a meal might be considered crass. I strongly disagree with this – if you can get past your preconditioning that tells you wine is the perfect accompaniment to every meal, you will find that beer offers just as much in terms of varied and interesting combinations to compliment pretty much any meal.
I’m not saying wine doesn’t go well with food. I’m just saying that I think we should think a little more broadly – why not try buying the right beer to suit the meal you are having and see what you think.
Anyway, enough of my blabbering, because if you’re interested you’ve got quite a bit of reading to do.
