Beer and Food

I saw this picture and just had to post it today. This Sunday is the New Orleans Poboy Preservation Festival(yes, New Orleans would be the only town I know to want to preserve a sandwich)and this picture was perfect. To me food pairings are more than just what style beer goes with what food but also should be focused on locale as well. You can't eat a po-boy without a Louisiana made beer. Do you eat crawfish without Dixie or Abita? No, that would be like having pancakes without syrup. Pfith! Who the hell would do something like that? Anyways, enjoy the pic courtesy of The Shameless Carnivore and if you're ever down here in New Orleans make sure you get a po-boy!!

Beer and Food Pix: Beer and Pizza

So I decided to start doing a piece where I talk about pairing beer with food. After giving it a lot of thought I realized people really don't want to read they just want to see it. That and my usage of the English language is close to caveman grunts compared to other beer blogs out there so it would be easier for me to explain it visually. So I came up with a cool little thing I'm calling Beer & Food Pix(Awesome name huh? I really put a lot of thought into it!) in which I take a picture of the food I'm eating and the beer I paired it with. Pretty simple.


Ok, for my first installment of Beer & Food Pix I picked a real easy one. Beer and Pizza. Nothing goes better with pizza than a great beer. This is a standard pepperoni pizza from Rocky's Pizzaria in New Orleans paired with an Abita Amber. Enough said, right? Yeah, yeah I know, you guys want to see fancy food paired with fancy beer. Hold on to your lederhosen I'll get there!


Cheers!
