Perfect Food Pairing for Thanksgiving

On the occasion of Thanksgiving, which will take place in a few days, we thought we could give you some suggestions for food and beer pairings… but not just any pairings! No other than Mirella Amato, the Master beer sommelier, teamed up with us in order to find extraordinary beer and food pairings. It shall surprise your taste buds on a whole other level (ok, ok, she did most of the work, but we still had the original idea of the turkey 🦃!).

We are offering you two delicious menus that will charm your family and friends.

Menu #1: “Treating myself” theme

We are suggesting an appetizer, a main course and a decadent dessert inspired by Ricardo. The type of meal that makes everyone want to take home a doggy bag.

Beer pairing suggestion
