Battered Fish Pairing Challenge – The Vote

March 5, 2014

As with anything new, I was nervous about turning my monthly Beer Versus Wine Food Pairing column into a reader generated contest complete with a vote and a winner who will take the reins of the column next month. Would anybody actually participate? Sure, the posts have always won some comments and suggestions in the past, but participation varies from the wildly popular Thanksgiving Dinner post to the not so popular Chicken…

Beer Versus Wine – The Perfect Beer Battered Fish Pairing

February 26, 2014

One of the best things about growing up in a Catholic community (besides being told on a regular basis by my Catholic friends that I was going to hell because I was a Methodist and Methodists aren’t Christians) were the Lenten fish Fridays. The political argument on the Vatican’s declaration of sustaining from meat to help the fishing industry aside, the move was brilliant. It produced some amazing varieties of fish as…

Beer Versus Wine – The Perfect Super Bowl Pairing

January 27, 2014

If I were President of the United States, the first thing I would do is use my executive order to declare the Super Bowl and the day after a national holiday.

Beer Versus Wine – The Perfect Prime Rib Roast Pairing

December 30, 2013

As a foodie and an admirer of both craft beer and fine wines, I often wonder what the perfect food pairing is. What follows is a monthly debate on just that. Once a month I’ll toss out a food for pairing suggestions from my fellow beer geeks and wine nerds. Some dishes will come with a convention that popular opinion dictates a specific pairing. Other posts will present a dish that is…

Brewery Snapshot: Dogfish Head Alehouse

December 13, 2013

In the faith of craft breweries, Dogfish Head has always served as my authority on beers. Sure, Stone has earned its arrogant reputation with its high quality brews. Rogue deserves props for the care that goes into growing many of their ingredients at the Rogue Farm. And Sierra Nevada owns hops like no other brewery. But no brewery goes as far into the study of the history of brewing beer as Dogfish Head….
