No kidding, a serious post. Shocking, I know...One of our main goals when creating this blog was to provide an easy way for people to relate to and enjoy beer, as well as let them know basic things about beer - including what types of beer to pair with what types of food.
SPOILER ALERT:
Pairing food and beer is not an exact science...it's Picasso, it's Warhol, it's Dali, it's Georgia O'Keefe (she gets props just for painting women's hoo has as flowers) - in a word, it's ART. For us personally, we feel that what makes beer superior to wine is that you can actually sometimes go the complete opposite of what is suggested with a certain type of food and still come out with a masterpiece - recent case in point? Boulevard Dark Truth Stout with Jalapeno's Chicken Fajita Burrito.
For me personally, I've used three good websites to validate my pairings and to determine if I can stretch my love of certain styles of beers to foods that don't traditionally pair well. Check them all out, you won't be disappointed:
