FIGURE EIGHT BREWING 150 Washington St, Valparaiso figure8brewing.com
FEATURED BESTSELLER:
Deadpoint IPA Cascade, Centennial, Citra and Bramling Cross hops make this IPA a satisfying treat for any hop head. A bold citrus nose and flavor is followed by a slightly sweet finish.
PAIRED WITH:
Build Your Own (BYO) Burger Half-pound Black Angus burger (or substitute grilled chicken breast) on brioche bun, pretzel roll, toasted rye bread or toasted spent grain bread, and endless toppings and cheeses.
WHY?
These two go well together because the Deadpoint IPA is a bold, refreshing beer that both cuts and complements the robust flavors of the BYO Burger options.

FEATURED BESTSELLER: The Hop Parade - India Pale Ale This brew is hopped with Nugget, Super Galena, Chinook, Columbus and Citra to accentuate a delightful bitterness, and is heavily dry-hopped with Citra and Nugget hops bursting with juicy peach and mango notes in the flavor profile and aroma. PAIRED WITH:
Soft Pretzels and Pimento Beer Cheese Two spent grain soft pretzels made by Michigan City-based Arturo’s Baked Goods and More, with a house-made cheddar pimento beer cheese spread prepared by Chef Blake.
WHY?
Seemingly the most accurate way to describe a “dank” India pale ale is comparing it to a specific cheese you admire, which is why any India pale is a perfect pair for a funky aromatic aged cheese.
