Escape tradition and take-on Thanksgiving with an ice-cold six-pack. What better way to spend time with relatives and loved ones than with the drink that brings people together? Whether cracking open a beer to drink with dinner or sipping on one with leftovers, a good Thanksgiving beer is essential. Turkey day involves a cornucopia of food items which is why Red’s Beer Garden has made it easy to find the perfect brew. Below is Red’s broken-down list of craft beer that complements Thanksgiving’s most favorable plates.Cheese Board Appetizer//Charcuterie - Farmhouse Ale - SaisonWho doesn’t love a beer with a peppery and fruity zip to it. Paired with a nutty crispy cracker or meat with some heat, the high carbonation of a saison will cut the fat or any spice of cheese and meats. Examples include, Brasserie Dupont Saison Dupont, Wild Heaven White Blackbird, Boulevard Tank 7. Root Vegetables or Salad - HefeweizenIf you’re looking for a lighter side to the Thanksgiving plate, a bright and effervescent beer pairs great. The german hefeweizen has notes of clove and banana and brings out the fresh flavors of roasted vegetables and green salads. Examples include, Weihenstephan Hefeweissbier, Eventide Citrus Grove, Arches Queen’s Weiss. Oven Roasted Turkey - Amber AleThe browning process during brewing that adds color and flavor to our beer pairs nicely with the caramelization of the turkey when it’s roasted in the oven. The caramel and toffee flavors of an amber ale is still light enough to prepare you for a turkey coma.Examples include, Ironshield Half Cork’d, Highland Gaelic Ale, New Belgium Fat Tire. Mac & Cheese - Hoppy IPA The bitterness and bright hops of an IPA will cut the fat of the mac & cheese, giving your palate renewed life after each sip. Examples include, Creature Comforts Tropicália, Monday Night Space Lettuce, Orpheus Transmigration of Souls. Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Pie - Coffee stout The rich and roasted malt in a stout brings out the spices and sweetness of a pumpkin pie. The coffee will help you from passing out after a long day of eating. Examples include, Maine Fall Coffee Stout, Guinness Nitro Cold Brew Coffee, Founders KBS.
