Continue reading to learn more about beer pairings, then visit Box Hill for a delicious seafood dinner!
Pilsner
Pilsners complement all types of seafood, but especially those cooked in butter. This type of beer is light with a refreshing finish that works best with fatty fish such as salmon and tuna. The hoppy, bitter beer is also delicious paired with other light meats, such as chicken and sausage.
IPA
The hoppy characteristics of an India Pale Ale help to cut through the heat of a spicy crab cake or the oily butter on lobster. The piney notes in an IPA are also very complementary to fish cooked on cedar planks, as the earthy tones in the beer match the smoky flavors that come from cooking on planks. The bitterness of American IPAs also pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness of scallops.
Hefeweizen
Crabs and clams paired best with a hefeweizen; a lighter beer with citrus notes and enhance the sweet flavors of shellfish. Hefeweizens or Belgian witbiers also complement a traditional lobster meal, as the citrus notes enhance the squeeze of lemon in the dish.
Gose
Gose is a sour, salty, and amber session beer that is made for drinking outside with a plate of delicious crab cakes. Union Craft Brewing’s Old Pro has a peach and citrus aroma that brings the right amount of crispness and tartness to the seafood dinner.
