Bruschetta with Sicilian Tomato + American Lager
The combination made with Petra Origin Pure Malt beer shows similar flavours. “There is a similarity in the cereal notes of the bruschetta bread and Puro Malto beer in intensity. The tomato and basil reinforce the
freshness of the beer
“explains Leanne.
Salmon tartare + German Kristallweizen
Already in this pairing the recommended beer is the Black Princess Doctor Weiss. As it is prepared with fresh cream, salmon tartare is generated
intensity of
taste
and refreshments with Kristallweizen beer. “The spicy note of the wheat beer complements the tartar flavor and its freshness. The high carbonation contrasts with the fat of the cream, cleaning the palate and enhancing every sip of the beer,” comments the
sommelier
.
Turkey Breast Wrap with Cheddar + American Amber Lager
For this pairing with beer, the suggestion is Black Prices Back To The Red. According to Liane, “the smoky note of the turkey breast
brings complexity
, thus enhancing the toasted notes of the beer. The hops, carbonation and alcohol of the beer contrast with the “fat” creaminess of the cheddar cheese, making the palate clean and ready to repeat the experience or try a new combination”.
Shrimp Bobó + Belgian Blonde Ale
This combination offers complexity to the palate of those who appreciate it, so the advice is to make it with Black Princess Miss Blonde beer. “This is a complex beer, as its style should be, with very evident ale fermentation notes: spicy, fruity, light malt sweetness and medium-low bitterness. Bobó, in turn, is also a dish with
personality,
as it contains palm oil, coconut milk and shrimp. Therefore, similar in intensity,” Liane points out. When pairing, you can integrate seasonings and feel the contrast of the sweet note of the beer with the saltiness of the bobó and the greasiness of the dish with the carbonation, bitterness and alcohol content of the beer.
Banoffee + German Bock
It is also possible to harmonize with sweets! In this case, the suggestion is the Black Princess Tião Bock beer, which has the
addition of brown sugar
in its composition. “The cake with its dulce de leche and banana, brings a new flavor and creaminess to the beer. On the other hand, the bitterness of the beer balances the sweetness of the cake without losing the caramel note. Drink and dessert complement each other in surprising harmony”, concludes the specialist.
