Foodpairing: which dishes and Craft Beer Chart beers would make a perfect pairing?
Entourage and snacks are important components of a beer tasting. Until a few years ago, most beer drinkers were not faced with the question of what dish would best harmonize with different varieties. Most often it was a simple snack – nuts, chips and crisps. With the onset of the Kraft Revolution there was a radical change in trends in the combination of food and beer.
Today we’re going to talk about food pairing, in which the flavor pairing of beer and snacks is selected based on similarities or contrasts. Foodpairing does not imply strict rules; this method is close to art, but it’s based on the scientific approach. The essence of the trend is that food and drink are combined on a molecular level. Certain dishes are able to emphasize the best characteristics of beer, as well as to complement and reveal the taste of beer, giving it completely new shades.
We suggest picking up the perfect gastronomic pairing for your favorite sort from the Craftsman collection “Beer List”. Friends, are you ready to go on a journey? So, let’s begin….
