Beers (and Foods) of Fall

It’s our favorite time of the year here in New England. There’s a crispness in the air, the leaves are changing, and football is back! Our Harvest Collection variety pack is the perfect pairing for all of your favorite fall activities, especially: tailgating. We’ve been experimenting with a few recipes and doing our tailgating homework (it’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it).  Here’s a guide to fall beer and tailgating food pairings we recommend  you try out this fall.

cowboy-beef-boston-lager-chili--en--7aecdc3c-2493-40da-a855-5f603ae1c538Boston Lager: No matter what time of year, Boston Lager is our go-to beer. And luckily for us, it pairs with one of our go-to foods for football season – chili. The beer’s malty sweetness matches nicely with the roasted flavors of the beans, meat and tomatoes. The hop spiciness of the Hallertau hops work well too if you like your game day chili with a little heat. Check out our recipe for Cowboy Beef Boston Lager Chili to kick this pairing up a notch.

sams-beer-broiled-brats--en--3a4e79f9-0f1d-4f39-af37-f5d31ed34c4fOctoberFest: It’s not a tailgate without firing up the grill. The deep malty character of our OctoberFest beer complements the savory taste of bratwurst and brings out the sweet roastiness. To take this pairing one step further, check out our recipe for OctoberFest Beer Broiled Brats.

samuel-adams-harvest-pumpkin-ale-bread--en--4b189d68-b002-4e94-a57e-21f681b87f3bHarvest Pumpkin Ale: The classic pumpkin pie spices of ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg in Harvest Pumpkin Ale balance out the flavors of BBQ pulled pork or BBQ ribs. The charring of the meat works nicely with the malt character of the beer. If you have a bit of a sweet tooth, you may want to pair this beer with a dessert like apple pie or our recipe for Samuel Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale Bread.

Sam-Can-Chicken-1Harvest Saison: Our take on a saison has got a lot of layers of flavor, from malty to subtle floral, fruit, and earthy hop notes.  The earthy yet light flavors pair well with lighter dishes like roasted chicken. We know what you’re thinking – roasted chicken at a tailgate? We have a great recipe from Chef David Burke for “Sam Can” chicken made with Boston Lager that you can make right on the grill.
