Perfect Pairings: Dessert Beers
Perfect Pairings - January 30, 2012
Let's say you're at a bourgie dinner party, Times tucked under your arm, tamping your pipe with one hand, and sipping on a crisp IPA with the other. You've been talking Middle Eastern politics with someone you consider your intellectual inferior and you're wearing your fancy jeans - all in all, the night is going well. Suddenly, the hostess offers you some hors d'oeuvres - crepes, truffles and ganache cake flown in from an obscure arrondissement of Paris. She then points to a bubbling white chocolate fondue fountain, and extends a hand clutching a marshmallow. Damn. What's a beer drinker to do?
When in doubt, keep your fingers wrapped around your perspiring mug and drink up. Sweets and desserts pose an interesting challenge to the beer enthusiast, so we've put together our favorite (and inadvertently international) pairings for the more flexible, adventurous palate.

Before heading to the bar tonight, remember that it's Friday the 13th, so besides squeezing past some drunk frat guys and their dates, you'll have all sorts of ghouls and goblins to contend with as you head up to the taps. Pressing up against a soggy mummy. An overly talkative and evil leprechaun drunk on Guinness. And don't even mention vampires. Running into them at a bar can really suck.
That's why we've compiled a list of 13 great beer and scary movie pairings to make sure the only black cat crossing your path tonight is your own. So grab a beer, curl up on the couch, and get ready to have some nightmares.

'Tis The Season To Be Thankful For Beer
Perfect Pairings - November 21, 2011
Thanksgiving can be heart-warming and gut-filling, but it can also be a grisly and gruesome affair. Indeed, family holidays are both a time for coming together and a time for airing grievances - especially if you have the dreaded 'odd relative'. These particular relatives are a tricky sort, because despite the disbelief and chagrin, at the end of the day, you are sill related. To help soften the impending blow of awkward conversation, we've selected a few choice brews for all the weird cousins, creepy uncles, and inebriated mothers that make Thanksgiving extra special.
They say you cannot pick your family. We say, at least you can pick your beer.
