Holiday Pairings with Some of Our Fireside Favs, Winter Ale, & Nialas Latitude
The holidays are here, and while everyone in your family is bringing a dish, you’ve decided to opt out of cooking by bringing drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. But choosing the right drinks can be tricky, and you don’t want to be the one who brings a case of light beer to the dinner table. Don’t worry; We have your back with our Fireside Favorites variety box. What’s in it? How about 3 of our most popular beers and an exclusive collab beer we did with Bizzy Cold Brew Coffee. Know someone who’s not drinking? Maybe it’s you? Doesn’t matter, our growing Nialas Non-alcoholic beers are perfect for those choosing to stay sober this holiday season. Finally, just to make sure you look like you know what you’re doing in the kitchen, we’ve provided some beer and Thanksgiving food pairing suggestions to impress your family with your beer knowledge when they sit down at the table.
Saga IPA with some Stuffing
Saga IPA pairs perfectly with stuffing. The bold, hoppy flavor of the beer complements the savory and herbaceous notes of the stuffing. The bitterness of the beer also helps to cut through the richness of the dish, creating a perfect balance of flavors. Trust us a pint of Saga IPA doesn’t miss when you’ve got it in front of you.
Great Northern Porter & Turkey
Our Great Northern Porter pairs exceptionally well with turkey because of its rich and complex flavor profile. The roasted malts and notes of chocolate and coffee in the porter complement the savory and slightly sweet flavors of the turkey, while its smooth and creamy texture balances out the richness of the meat. Plus, the slight bitterness in the finish of the beer helps to cut through the fat of the turkey, making for a perfectly balanced and delicious pairing.
EPA & Ham or Turkey
Extra Pale Ale is a staple for any Summit fan. It’s also versatile when it comes to pairings. Holiday ham or turkey, either way it’s no problem. EPA’s caramel and biscuit malts balanced with a juicy citrus hop bite pair perfectly with savory meats and poultry!
Winter Ale & Dessert
Winter Ale is a perfect pairing for Thanksgiving desserts. The rich and bold flavors of this beer complement the sweetness of pies and cakes such as pumpkin, apple, and pecan. The notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices in Winter Ale enhance the flavors of these classic holiday treats, making for a truly delightful experience. Whether you’re enjoying a slice of pie or a scoop of ice cream, Winter Ale is sure to enhance the dessert and elevate your Thanksgiving feast.
Nialas Non-Alcoholic Latitude Lager-Style & Literally Anything
With flavors of espresso, chocolate, and caramel and a balance of spicy hop characteristics make our Nialas Nialas Non-Alcoholic Latitude Lager-Style beer is a fantastic choice for Thanksgiving, as it pairs beautifully with a variety of traditional dishes. Its crisp and refreshing profile complements roasted turkey perfectly, enhancing the savory flavors no matter how you cook it. It also works well with classic sides like buttery mashed potatoes and herb stuffing, balancing their richness with a light, clean finish. “Is that it?” Not a chance, for a festive touch, try it with cranberry sauce; the beer’s subtle malt sweetness accentuates the tartness of the cranberries without overwhelming the palate. With Latitude Lager-Style, everyone at the table can enjoy a satisfying pairing with literally anything and everything on that table.
