Beer and Food pairing - Beer Basket


Beer and food pairing is very up and coming and goes far beyond Beer and pizza. This doesn't mean that you go out and find a great brat and cook it in your best beer either. Try these ideas!


Cheese is one food that you usually associate with wine or champagne. Discover how good a nice brie tastes with a fine wheat beer. Apples like Gravensteins is another successful pairing with a Belgian ale. There are the ester, or fruity, characteristics that are often apple or pear-like while the truffle honey harmonizes with the slight honey notes Belgian ales are known to have. Also, the flavors of the gouda complimented the Brett characters in the beer. Some American wild ale loosely assembles top-fermenting beers that have been purposefully introduced to fermenting agents beyond the typical assortment of beer yeasts, sometimes replacing them altogether. Strains of wild yeasts such as Brettanomyces, along with the lactic acid-producing bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, which are normally considered contaminants in beer- and wine-making circles, are employed to deliver unique sensory profiles by brewers who are willing to take risks as to both the unpredictability of the results and the perception of the public.


The company Baskets by Rita offers an assortment of beer baskets or a beer tub for gifts to that beer lover. Their gifts are designed in containers that are useful while the goodies are being consumed and after they are gone. "Our beer tub is our most popular offering this year, and would be a great holiday gift as well" say VanWoerkom, owner of the company.

Wine Gift Baskets -How to choose


Things to think about when shopping for wine gift baskets. First, just because a design contains a bottle of what appears to be a high quality beverage, doesn't mean that it is a high quality gift. Many companies package cheap beverages in pretty wrappings that make them appear better than they are. Make sure you check the brand and vintage of the beverages in a gift basket you are considering purchasing. Next, you also need to be aware that there is more to wine gift baskets than just the beverage. Some companies that sell these baskets will choose an excellent beverage. However, because the beverage is so pricey, they will then put cheap foods in the basket to make it look full. Another thing you might find is that these companies put big beautiful boxes containing very little actual product. They look great until your recipient opens it and finds that there are just a few actual food items for them to enjoy. You want to find designs that couples an excellent beverage with quality foods that will enhance the flavor of the drink, not detract from it. Another thing to look for when shopping for arrangements is the container that the design is in. the best quality designs are arranged in attractive and useful containers. One great idea is to look for a design that is arranged in a beverage-cooling tub, so the container is useful even while the recipient is still using the contents!
