PAIRING LOBSTERS AND FLORIDA CRAFT BEER

Sponsored post – Lobster dishes are often viewed as fancy dishes that people order in restaurants. Seafood lovers know that there is nothing wrong with enjoying lobster on a hot summer day. The perfectly cooked crispy crustacean or grilled lobster meal will need to be washed down with the perfect beverage — and is there anything better than a cold pint of beer for that?

So, the question of which beers you should pair with lobsters arises. No one can say which beer is best to pair with lobsters; however, most will agree that the right kind of beer will complement a freshly cooked lobster meal. To help you decide, we have come up with a list of beers that can amplify lobster meals, and many cooks and bartenders have agreed.

We will be looking at either Florida-centric beers or beers available in Florida that you should easily find.

Sapporo

To complement the taste of the lobster, you might want to go with a lighter beer than usual. This Japanese beer, with its subtle tangy flavor, can help refresh your palate and taste buds. The lightness of this beer can balance out the taste of the lobster, mainly if your lobster dish includes butter. Two different blends of flavor will combine together to make for a divine experience.

Green Bench Postcard Pilsner

The heaviness of a lobster meal should not overwhelm your palate with a pint of Postcard Pilsner. The unique sweet grainy flavor of this beer by Green Bench Brewing will perfectly balance out all the flavors. To savor the tanginess that comes with this beverage, we recommend that the lobster dish be cooked with high tones of spices.

Cigar City Florida Man Double IPA

The distinct bitterness and citric flavor of this beer by Cigar City Brewing can complement the taste of your succulent lobster meal very well. Especially if you’re looking at a buttered lobster tail, with the side of a Florida Man Double IPA pint is enough to make for a perfect lunch on a sunny day. An addition of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to your lobster could really spice up your meal and heighten the experience.

Saison Dupont

One of the best beers from Belgium, which can be easily found in Florida, Saison Dupont promises to bring versatile flavors that can go well with any type of lobster, whether it’s a boiled lobster or a grilled lobster dish. Saison is one of the best beers to pair with lobster. For an excellent experience, we would recommend a lobster meal which is topped with cheese. A cold pint of Saison Dupont beer would make for a dinner like no other.
