Beer & Food Pairing: Tea Sandwiches & British Beers

One thing I love is snacks. If I’m not eating, I’m thinking about how far away from snacks. Thus, doing a beer pairing with classic high tea finger sandwiches seemed like a natural idea.

Beer & Food Pairing: Scotch Eggs & Scottish Ale

The Belhaven Scottish Ale paired perfectly with the vegetarian version. The caramel maltiness tempered the heat from the spicy Italian Beyond sausage as well as highlighted the Maillard flavors from the deep frying. The herbal and earthy hop flavors highlighted the beer horseradish mustard I paired with the Scotch eggs.

Beer & Food Pairing: Tofu Tikka Masala & British Brown Ale

I enjoyed Newcastle the best because it accentuated the earthiness of the tofu and basmati rice while highlighting the umami and acidity of the tomato-based sauce. The sweetness of the malt cut the spiciness from the chiles and spices to let the flavor really shine through and tamed the heat just enough that I was ready for another bite.

I Tried It: Calculating My Malt Bill By Hand

Like most people, I rarely rely on my own knowledge to recall anything, and I almost exclusively rely on various software, apps, and algorithms to determine how I move through my daily life. This reliance naturally extends to my homebrewing.
