Drink Pairing & Tasting Notes:
A Simple Guide
Bold City Brewery Dukes Brown Ale
Bold City Brewery Dukes Brown Ale is a mild brown ale with hints of chocolate, caramel, and a smooth nutty finish. The hearty brown pairs well with the richness of Brooklyn Biltong. The robust malty profile dances with the beef, providing complexities one might find in a grilled steak.

Broc Cellars Love White
Broc Cellars Love White is a white blend of Marsanne, Rousanne, Grenache Blanc, and Picpoul. It has aromas and flavors of savory spices, minerals, and citrus. This white blend pairs perfectly with the Matiz wild-caught Spanish sardines. The high acidity and brightness cuts through the rich fish, much like when lemon is added to seafood. Perfect for a hot day!

Lo-Fi Malbec
Lo-Fi Malbec is a bold, smooth red. A bit on the dry side, deep red fruit tones, and an okay finish. Big robust tobacco tones make this wine a nice pair with the Alter Eco 85% cacao Classic Blackout chocolate. The tannins in both the chocolate and the Malbec work together synergistically to help appreciate the flavors of each.

Veterans United Craft Brewery HopBanshee IPA
Veterans United Craft Brewery HopBanshee IPA is a traditional West Coast IPA with a huge hop aroma and notes of citrus and tropical fruits. This delicious IPA pairs perfectly with the mesquite smokey profile of the barbecue chips by Full of Chips.
