Beer pairing is an art form, not some plebeian activity for the common masses. It requires a delicate touch, a keen sense of smell, and a refined palate. For the initiated, the following combinations are de rigueur.
A delicate, creamy risotto, paired with a crisp, dry IPA. The bitterness of the hops cuts through the richness of the truffles, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.
But, of course, this is just a starting point. For the truly refined, we have:
A chilled, crystal clear beer, paired with the delicate, salty flavor of caviar. The effervescence of the beer complements the delicate eggs, creating a truly transcendent experience.
And, for the truly adventurous:
A pungent, sour beer, paired with the infamous durian fruit. The combination is, of course, an acquired taste, but for those who dare, it's a experience unlike any other.
