Pair beer with food like a pro
E
ven though pizza, wings and beer is a combination that has appeared on game day food tables seemingly since the dawn of organized sports, the nuances of beer open up the possibility for many other food-beverage combinations. Just as wine can complement a variety of different foods when the right combination of flavors is presented, so, too, can one’s favorite brew. Craft brewers have opened the public’s eyes to a much wider array of beer styles than may be available at the local liquor store or supermarket. Below you can find some suggestions for beer and food pairings, courtesy of the Brewers Association. • Blonde Ale: Match this ale with lighter food choices, such as chicken, salads, and light, nutty cheeses. • India Pale Ale: The hoppy forward flavor of IPAs makes these popular beers a good pairing with strong, spicy foods or bold, sweet desserts. • Amber/Red Ale: Pair a wide range of foods with amber ales, like chicken, seafood, burgers, and spicy cuisine. • Porter: The strong flavor of porter will work well with roasted or smoked food, barbecue, sausages or blackened fish.
• Dark Lager, Dunkel, Schwarzbier: Hearty, spicy foods, barbecue, and roasted meats also complement these dark beers, as do pizzas and burgers. • Hefeweizen: Fans of this light German or Austrian beer will learn it pairs well with salads, seafood, sushi, and traditionally weisswurst, a white Bavarian sausage. • Imperial Stout: This beer can easily overwhelm many foods, but can stand up to foie gras or smoked goose. Long-aged cheeses, like gouda, parmesan or cheddar, also can work with stout, as do rich, chocolate desserts. • American Wheat Ale: Choose this beer to go with very light foods like salads and sushi. It’s generally too light for dessert, but might work with fresh fruit. Furthermore, when pairing beer with food, keep in mind that beer with hop bitterness, roasted malt, high carbonation, and higher ABVs balance sweet, rich (fatty) and umami flavors in food. Hop bitterness also can emphasize the spice of foods, such as in chili or certain ethnic cuisines. A sweet or malty beer balances out spiciness or acidity in foods. Courtesy of Metro Creative.

42 - NORTH COUNTRY DINING GUIDE • WINTER 2025-26 56 - NORTH COUNTRY DINING GUIDE • 2021 VOLUME I
Restaurant Etiquette Planning
Reserve a table before you leave for the restaurant. This enables you to give special seating preferences such as a table in the garden or one in a quiet corner. You can ask about the dress code. You may want to reconfirm the reservation one or two days before the dinner has been planned. Ask your guests if they like or dislike certain ethnic foods (simply ask when extending the invitation). You could also give the guest a choice of two or three restaurants. If you're hosting a group, pick a restaurant with a wide range of foods so that everyone present will find something to his taste. Choose a restaurant you know.
Valet
Arriving
Saying "thank you" to the attendant as they take your car. Tip when your car is returned.
Maitre d'
The person(s) standing behind the podium in the entryway: the maitre d', host, or hostess. • Don't block traffic as you patiently await your turn; and • Once you're face-to-face with the maitre d', smile and say hello.
Coat Check
A man always checks his topcoat. A woman has the choice of taking hers to the table. Packages, briefcases, umbrellas, and other items are usually checked. Women take purses to the table, where they're kept in the lap or at the feet.
Diners Arriving at Different Times
made a reservation; if you didn't, you can say "thanks anyway" and try for a better table at another restaurant. If a group meal has an official host, it's the host's choice whether to direct guests to chairs. If the host chooses not to, guests ask where they should sit. The better seats are those that look out on the restaurant or out a window onto scenery, not at a wall-something to keep in mind when you're hosting a meal or simply wish to give a fellow diner the better view. At a table with a banquette, women are traditionally seated on the banquette, the men on chairs opposite them. The host and hostess customarily sit opposite each other, and time was when couples were split up so that they would have a chance to chat with people other than their spouses. Today, seating choices depend more on the preferences of the group. A male guest of honor – say, a relative whose birthday or retirement is being celebrated – is traditionally seated at the hostess's right; a female guest of honor, at the host's right.
The Bill
If you are the host, tell the maitre d' or waiter in advance that you should receive the check. Discretely review the check. Signal the waiter when you would like to pay by putting the check holder to the edge of the table, with the bills or the credit card sticking out. Tell the waiter if you would like them to keep the change.
Leftover Food
When you have food left over that you don't want to go to waste, it's usually acceptable to ask for a doggy bag – today, often a lidded container slipped into a small paper bag. When not to request one? First, at most business meals. (If you're dining with a business associate who's a close friend, it's fine to request a bag if you're going Dutch – but if she's the host, leave leftover food behind.) Second, at a wedding reception or other special function.
The first arrival should wait for the second before being seated. When two of group arrive together, they should ask to be Tipping Etiquette seated. • Tip on the pre-tax amount of the bill, not on the total. • Tip discreetly.

Classic wine and food pairings
T
he renowned writer Ernest Hemingway is credited with saying, “My only regret in life is that I didn’t drink more wine.” Perhaps if the author had a better understanding of pairing wine with food, he would have enjoyed his wine a bit more often? Unless you’re spending time with a master sommelier or a seasoned oenophile, you’re unlikely to be given a hard time if your wine and food pairings are not perfect. Although there is no need to always pair a bottle with food like an expert — and it’s certainly alright to break the rules if you’re particularly passionate about a specific type of wine — a general knowledge of classic food-and-wine parings can help anyone expand their knowledge and please their palate. And yes, it goes beyond white is for fish and red is for beef. These pairing pointers, courtesy of the experts at Food & Wine, Tasting Table and Wine Folly, can help anyone find the
right combination for their dinner table. Basic methodologies As you grow more familiar with wine, you’ll learn why these tried-and-true suggestions often work. • Red wines pair best with bold flavored meats (red meat). • White wines pair best with light-intensity meats (fish and chicken). • The wine should have the same flavor intensity of the food. • The wine should be sweeter than the food. • The wine should be more acidic than the food. • It is better to match the wine with the sauce than with the meat. • Think about whether you want contrasting or congruent pairings. Red wines often create congruent pairings while white, sparkling and Rosé will create contrasting pairings. Congruent versus contrasting Congruent pairings, according to Wine Folly, create balance
in the mouth by amplifying shared flavor compounds. For example, earth wines paired with earthy mushrooms. Contrasting pairings create balance through contrasting flavors. Therefore, a salad with acidity and bitterness may be complemented with a wine that is sweeter and not so acidic, or so may be the case with a fatty, salty food like foie gras.
Common pairings to try • Mushrooms, lentils and even salmon go great with reds like Pinot Noir or Dolcetto. These wines are light-bodied but also full of savory appeal. • Champagne and oysters work because Champagne has a touch of fruity sweetness. This helps it cut through salty foods like oysters or even chips. • Cabernet, and Bordeaux are ideal with steaks and lamb dishes. The tannins in cabernet will cut through the protein and fat in these red meats, while the fat balances out the rich tannins. • You’ll need a wine that pops like Sauvignon Blanc, to go with tangy foods, such as grapefruit or scallops. This white wine also can work with various vinaigrettes or tangy cheeses. • Chianti is a prized Italian wine made from Sangiovese grapes. High acidity and noticeable tannins will help chianti pair well with high acid foods like those featuring tomato sauces, such as a rich pasta dish. It may take some time to gain experience pairing wine and foods. However, with a little practice, individuals can perfect their wine pairing skills. Courtesy of Metro Creative.
