Welcome to Sri Lanka!
Our Chef has suggested beer may be a nice pairing with this menu, and I couldn’t agree more!
We are so fortunate that we have an ever improving array of craft breweries available to us to choose from. I have had the opportunity over the last several months (thanks to retirement and a global pandemic), to “tour” (through in home tasting) more than 20 different offerings, so the timing for a more beer centric event is great!
Starter and Main Course
While it might be hard to select a beer that is a lousy pairing, I would suggest we avoid a simple, lighter beer (even though some may desire that option purely for refreshment from the spice). Instead I would suggest we go with something that provides a rich and complex flavour profile in its own right.
One Great City Brewing Co. - The Queen’s Best Bitter
This Extra Special Bitter from OGC has earned a spot in my Kegerator. A well balanced beer with equal parts earthy malt and hop bitterness, with a touch of stone fruit. Should be a great accompaniment to our starter and main.
Dessert
This chocolate and coconut pudding sounds amazing, and a dark, creamy stout is the perfect match!
One Great City Brewing Co. - Tipsy Cow Milk Stout
This Milk Stout, with a lactose addition, is creamy and slightly sweet, with rich coffee and chocolate notes. This should be a great pairing!
