INFORMAL BEER & FOOD PAIRINGS + CASK DARK BEERS £5 A PINT ON SUNDAY
Pretzels - Perfect with a Bitter.
BYO Fish & Chips - Pair with a Bitter. Classic comforting British pairing!
Twiglets - Pair with Black IPA. Intense umami notes and texture of Twiglets works really well with the roasted, refreshing bitterness in a black IPA.
Bacon Fries - Pair with any of the sours or any of the dark beers. The salty sweet flavours of the crisps work really well to boost the fruity or roasty creamy flavours.
Blue cheese - Match made in heaven with a sweet stout or an imperial stout!
