Pair me

homeOK, I don’t know much about 4 Hands Brewing and I have not had a single one of their beers.  Though I certainly hope to try at least one.  And though I am a fan of the red ale that is not the reason why I want to highlight this beer today.  Nope, the reason is the spot on and graphically pretty pairings that they suggest.  Easy to spot and use.  Way more than the usually tiny (though interesting) prose on the label.  I wish this to be a trend that other breweries pick up.

Beer Dinners done Right

IMG_3671As a member of the 2012-13 Beer Advisory Board for the Four Points Sheraton at LAX, I get to attend their beer pairing dinners and then make suggestions for their future beer dinners.  Sweet gig, I know.

I have been to a couple events and now I really know that they know how to do it.  The food is way beyond what you expect at a hotel (even the salads).
