I still remember sitting at a rester aunt at the marina in Cabo San Lucas eating a spicy shrimp ceviche and drinking a Pacifico beer thinking that this is what heaven must feel like.

A good video podcast to check into is basic brewing. It is a homebrew podcast but one of the guys that helps is a chef and builds a dish around the beer they brew. I love it!

i found this special menu we did about a year ago for a beer and cheese pairing. here it is:

ESB with Provolone Piccante (pee-KAHNT)
piquant, sharp & tangy, savory, hearty
pasteurized cow’s milk
Italy

Scotch Ale with Beaufort (bo-FORE)
Herve Mons, smooth & full flavored, rich nutty sweetness
raw cow’s milk
France

IPA with Fleur d’ Aunis (FLUR-duh-NEE)
grassy & sweet, full finish & aroma, yummy, crystalline, washed rind
pasteurized cow’s milk
France (from Poitou region)

Imperial Oatmeal Stout with Saint Agur (sant-ah-GURR)
creamy, spreadable blue, great with honey
pasteurized cow’s milk
France


the last two in the list are my favorites.

In Italy people don't often drink beer with meals, except with pizza. I had an Italian beer that was made with that in mind, and it was a really good combination! I wish I could remember the brand . . .
