Our Cicerone gets excited for the fall season as it gives him the chance to serve beer that peaks in restaurant food pairing potential. T’is the season of Oktoberfest, Märzen lagers, and pumpkin beers, all which are wonderfully paired with the meaty Americana menu at Butcher and the Boar.
As Ben puts it, “This is the time of year I’ve been waiting for since the restaurant opened. The caramelized flavors and clean finishes that will refresh the palate. There’s no more classic pairing than sausage and a Märzen Oktoberfest Lager… I’m extremely excited.”
This fall you can expect to see some sour and collaboration-style beers. Some beers in line right now are the Ommegang Gnomegang (a full Belgian golden ale) as well as the Boulevard Reverb (an Imperial Pilsner Ale).
Now that it’s cooling off a bit you can expect some of the richer, fuller flavor beers instead of the quaffable summer ales served since the restaurant’s opening.
