A perfect food pairing is an eye-opening experience, and Spec’s selection provides optimal opportunities for awesome food pairings. Like wine and food pairings, serving food with just the right beer can also provide complementary flavors. Additionally, including beer in your recipes can add fresh flavors to take a dish from delicious to divine!
For many Texans looking for the perfect chili recipe, the selection and inclusion of the best beer can be one of the last steps in getting things just right. Of course, many beer recipes result in foods that in turn should be consumed with beer. Beer-battered fish and chips just don’t taste the same with lemonade!
Beer isn’t just a flavoring ingredient. The CO2 content of beer makes it an invaluable component when creating specific textures, like the beer batter above. For example, all kinds of beers can add an extra element to many desserts. A fluffy pudding or moist chocolate cake made with beer can stand up to a rich chocolate stout or raspberry lambic.
With the selection of world-class beers and appetizing savings available at Spec’s, you can cook up a delightful beer-based menu and have another with your new favorite meal!
