January 2018 - Blue Moon and Mussels

Our first beer pairing of the year using our new pairing list, created ourselves, is Blue Moon and Mussels.  My new book recommends this combination as part of their "Try this" section.

We used the classic Belgian White (wheat ale) with oranges of course served with mussels, crab legs, fettuccine, salad and bread to celebrate Andy's 31st birthday. (I just wish I had taken more pictures.)

2018 Beer Pairing plans

We missed the last two pairings listed on the 2017 calendar and while preparing for 2018 found that the calendar from Red Cruiser on Etsy was no longer available.

So I bought the Beer Pairing: The Essential Guide from the Pairing Pros book from Amazon so we can create our own list. We have several months mapped out and all the beers chosen.  We will be using that book as well as a website (www.pintsandplates.com) I just discovered to create our own pairings.

The year will include seasonal beers and even Girl Scout cookie pairings as recommended by my new book.

Stay tuned!
