September Fish and Chips and Double IPA

This month's pairing was perfect for a football Sunday afternoon!

We made Breaded Baked Tilapia, a recipe from Taste of Home which never disappoint.  Add to it chopped salad (similar to cole slaw) and steak fries.  Fish and Chips!

The Double IPA Matt chose was Christian Moerlein's Bay of Bengal Double IPA which WCPO did a story about last month, "Christian Moerlein's Bay of Bengal Double IPA roars back into Cincinnati."  (I think the name probably has something to do with the Cincinnati Bengals.)

Loved the beer but sadly the fish recipe was not a keeper.

Although we had hoped to plan a field trip and invite friends to Mac 'n Joes for this pairing, we decided to do it at home.  Time ran out before I leave for my next trip out of the country and this day was the only day we had left.  Homecoming and football make it impossible.

Here was our social media post:

See you in October for Black IPA and Blue Cheese Wedge, a combo we are sure to love since we love IPAs and love blue cheese!
