The best beer for every food
Food and wine have always had a symbiotic relationship.
Do chefs and sommeliers do they use one to improve the other, turning to an intense merlot to reinforce the tone of a white ribeye or sauvignon to match the subtle softness of a sole net. But beer and food? Absolutely, says a choir of the best leaders of America and brewers. "Good food can make the right beer tastes better, and vice versa," says Aviram Turgeman, a cicerone (like a sommelier of beer) at the Cafe d'Alsace in New York. But like pairs of wines and food, it is not always obvious for the average Joe who best complete the other. And when you try to lose weight and decide to deliver you to a delicious cheating meal, you really want to succeed. This ensures that every calorie is savored and should not it always be the case?
To lend you by hand, we asked Turgeman to share his Intel. Here it reveals the most tasty food and beer that assemble as well as specific brand suggestions too! And to make you feel better to indulge, we have also included some of the brewer health benefits. Consider this Ultimate Brewski matching guide:
Pilsner + Lager
Turgeman likes: Jeover Pilsine, Stella Artois and Kronenburg 1664
Well pairs with: Pizza and mackerel
Why it works: A brief crisp and dry with a balanced hops can hold its own seasonings of strong pizzas and fatty fish. In addition, hops scrub your taste bits, improving the flavors of your drink and your meal.
Health bonus: When the steak has been tempered by Pilsner for six hours before cooking, a carcinogen in the meat was reduced to 88%, according to oneAgricultural Chemistry and Food Journal to study.
Amber Ale
Turgeman likes: Fischer Amber, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Samuel Smith
Well pairs with: Burgers, Chicken and Lamb
Why it works: "The strong aromas overwhelm bright beers," says Turgeman. That's why you need complex and heavier infusion to handle this rich rate.
Health bonus: Research shows that jumps in a beer like an Amber Ale can help reduce cholesterol and prevent blood coagulation.
Farmhouse Ale
Turgeman likes: Dupont Season, Blonde Choulette and Castelain Blonde
Well pairs with: Sausage and roasted pork
Why it works: European beers + Food European = super coupling. This lesson is also true for other kitchens. Enjoy an Asian beer with sushi, a Mexican curator with tacos and so on.
Health bonus: The barley used in the Ale brewing process contains flavonoids against cancer.
Belgian white
Turgeman likes: Belgian Gruut Wit Beer, Hoegaarden and Moon Blue
Well pairs with: Green eggs and salad
Why it works: Light, wheat beers filled with citrus fruit make food cooler and cut through wealth
yellows or a Dutch sauce.
Health bonus: Compounds in wheat beers can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, according to Austrian researchers.
Trappist + abbey
Turgeman likes: Chimay Red, Blonde Leffe and Goose Island Matilda
Well pairs with: Cheese and salmon
Why it works: The shades of yeast and slight sweetness of the Trappist beers pair well with the carbonaceous flavors of smoke or grilled meat and quenching cheeses.
Health bonus: The brewer yeast is rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, but it rests on the bottom of the trappist beer bottles. Pour your beer into a drink and turn it before you sip to enjoy the benefits of health.
Stout + Wear + flavored lambics
Turgeman likes: Kriek Lambic, Smuttynose Robust Porter and Young Double Chocolate Stout
Well pairs with: Chocolate and fruit
Why it works: "Experience with sweet beers", says Turgeman. "You can make great combinations." To cap a dinner, pair of chocolate with cherry blown cherry trees.
Health bonus: Cherry cherry juice is higher in disease antioxidants than cranberry juice and orange, according to UCLA researchers.
