Sometimes the nights just get late and when you have half a cake staring at you from the counter and a fine bottle of ale. You start to think of ways that the two can pair together in culinary harmony.
Those thoughts become actions as you stare at the exposed layers.
Blueberry and lemon sure do sound like a nice pairing for a brett beer.
Our choice? Brett C from Prairie Artisan Ales. A farmhouse ale brewed with Cascade & Citra hops as well as a bit of sea salt.
Their artwork is just lovely and the liquid inside is just fantastic.
The dryness of the beer went very well with the acidity from the fruit in the cake. It was as good as pairing with a hot cup of coffee or cold glass of milk.
Thanks to Megan for making the cake and advocating the late night munchie session. An even bigger thanks to Prairie for making a wonderful beer to pair with it. Cheers.
