This is an extension of a monthly beer column for VIP Magzine.
The Brew Review is a nudge for someone to break away from his or her tried and true brand time after time at the liquor store or at a restaurant. As an avid homebrewer, I see beer as an extension of cooking. Beer is a fun, carbonated, food that deserves respect in the fridge and at the dinner table. It works contrastively like wine but also pairs harmoniously with a depth of almost any conceivable flavor and aroma, like dark roasted espresso, flowery citrus, acidic sour notes and even bubblegum. Expanding one’s perception of food and beer will not only get you out of a gustatory rut but will guarantee to enhance life’s subtleties. Cheers!
