Beers and burgers are a classic combination for a reason. Proudly made with locally sourced ingredients, this rich burger is stacked with grass-fed beef, bacon, cheddar, arugula, tomato and house-made dill pickles on a buttery brioche bun and served with fries and sambal aioli. The Rooftop Pils, a hoppy pilsner, provides a refreshing reprieve between each delicious bite. “The burger is fatty and delicious, and the dry pilsner is light and crisp and cleanses the palate,” May said.
Mad Anthony is working to add more meat-free options to its menu, but you don’t have to be a vegetarian to enjoy their new buffalo cauliflower, a riff on chicken wings. Bite-sized chunks of cauliflower are breaded and fried in a tempura batter, tossed in buffalo sauce and garnished with blue cheese and celery. The spiciness pairs well with the hoppy flavors of Mosaic Moon IPA. “You want strong flavors in your beer that are going to be able to stand up to strong flavors in your food,” Michael said.
Try the Chipotle Burger with Hammond’s Imperial Amber Recommended by: Lynne Koepper, co-owner and “brewologist” This pairing is a balancing act of sweet and spicy. Made from fresh, locally sourced beef, the chipotle burger is a 1/3 pound patty topped with cheddar, pickled red onion, jalapeno and house-made adobo sauce. The burger pairs well with Hammond’s Imperial Amber, a mix between an amber and a Scottish ale. The beer’s malty sweetness tames some of the burger’s heat while not overpowering its flavors.
