Beer Sommelier

Great Brewers' Beer Sommelier is a simple guide to appropriately pairing beer with food. The process starts with a vertical row of large picture boxes, each representing a main ingredient, from meet (beef, fish, poultry, game), to dairy, pasta, nuts, fruit, cheese and chocolate. Click one and a second row appears offering loads of popular dishes within the category (i.e., Pasta breaks into mac & cheese, lo mein, lasagna, etc.). Once a dish is specified, a third row appears featuring general styles of beer to pair with it (i.e., German-style strong doppelbock, Bamberg-style Marzen Rauchbier) with links to a fact sheet on the style (flavor profile, typical ABV, bitterness, appropriate glassware), and myriad examples of the style from a database of over 2,100 craft beers, each with its own page replete with tasting notes, availability, and tap type required.
