When one works with beer and food, it is essential to aim at a balance, which both challenges and pleases our senses simultaneously. When this is done successfully, the details of both food and drink are promoted, and at best, it becomes a lifetime experience.
Beer highly contributes to exciting gastronomic experiences. Ideally, a well-chosen and well-poured glass of beer, served with the right food, activates and stimulates our senses in the exact same manner as a good wine, a glass of sherry, or a cup of warm sake does when enjoyed together with e.g. a medium roast entrecote, a spicy Tapas dish or freshly made Sushi.
At first, one must recognize beer’s ability to do more than just quenching the thirst when exploring the field of beer and gastronomy.
