Here are the local beer choices, check back next week to see our wine selections. Enjoy!
Beer + Salty, Delicious Crab Cakes = The Perfect Pair
- Pilsner: Heavy Seas Brewery’s Pounder Pils
Pilsners are perfect for pairing with all seafood, but especially those cooked in butter. It is a lighter beer with a high citrus zest bitterness from plenty of hops. Heavy Seas Brewery’s Pounder Pils is smooth and elegant showcasing a bright yet zesty botanical aroma, making it a great pair for our crab cakes.
- Gose: Union Craft Brewing from Baltimore Old Pro
Before summer ends, you have to try a Union Craft Brewing’s Old Pro while eating crab cakes out on the deck or patio. The Gose beer is a golden color with a peach and citrus aroma and brings a refreshing crispness with just a little tartness and a dash of salt to the palate.
- Saison/Farmhouse Ale: Stillwater’s Classique
Saison/Farmhouse Ales tend to be complex. The thin-bodied beer is semi-dry, with a sweet corn smell, with hints of lemon pulp and pepper. When drinking a Stillwater Classique with your crab cakes, serve them with a fresh light sauce, as to not overpower the flavors of the beer.
- American IPA: Jailbreak Brewing Big Punisher
IPA’s are notorious for their bitterness but can be a great pairing to a spicy crab cake to cut through the heat. Jailbreak Brewing’s Big Punisher is has a semi-sweet malt backbone, complemented with citrus and tropical fruit hops for a delicious and refreshing finish.
