GREAT BEER PAIRINGS:
THE MARKET
Forget about wine pairings! We hail the hop. We’re all about pairing our favorite craft brews with delicious dishes from Valley restaurants. Alison Bailin Batz » The Entertainer!
“In 2014, we were so proud to open The Market by Jennifer’s Restaurant + Bar in the heart of Arcadia. Under the direction of my long-time friend Richard Fiero, (previously of Barrio Cafe), we have developed a space that is casual and elegant with a menu that incorporates locally grown, sourced and crafted ingredients. And while our space was formerly home to a wine bar (Ernesto’s Backstreet Wine bar, to be exact), our menu perfectly complements craft beers—especially local ones—just as well. The SunUp Bearded Blonde is definitely a favorite. It is so clearly and American Blonde Ale, which means there are heavenly notes of toast, florals and even citrus, that is pairs well with almost everything on the menu. Blonde ales, in general, are a wonderful gateway beer for macro beer drinkers wanting to step into the craft beer world or for the beer geek who wants a lunch brew before finishing the rest of the work day.”
Game-day tailgating just got cooler Cassidy Landaker » The Entertainer!
YETI has created an officially licensed ASU cooler, certified with school spirit for game-day events. In the Sonoran Desert, drinks can get warm rather quickly. But with YETI’s new ASU cooler available in the Roadie 20, Tundra 45, Tundra 65 and Tank 85, even a Sun Devil can stay cool. A popular cooler brand, YETI was founded in 2006 by two brothers who were tired of existing products that didn’t keep beer cold. Their mission was to build the cooler they would use everyday if it existed, and that they did. These coolers come in different shapes and sizes known as the Tundra, Roadie, Hopper, and Tank. Tundras are the rectangular shaped and original YETI coolers, and a Roadie is just the smaller version of a Tundra. A Hopper is the company’s personal and portable cooler. Tanks are the biggest, as the name implies, and are just a big ice bucket. Head to yeti.com/ official-arizona-state-coolers/ to snag your own cooler.

BEER
Brewery: SunUp Brewing in Phoenix Style: Blonde Ale Name: Bearded Blonde This brew has a nice bready, cracker, malt aroma with lemon peel, citrus hop notes derived from Cascade and Falconers Flight hops. The flavor mirrors the aroma, creating an easy drinking pale malt flavor and slightly floral, citrus hop bitterness. This beer is a crystal clear, dark gold and pours with a clean off-white head. This one is so popular, that SunUp announced in September 2016 that they would be canning it. As a result, the beer can be purchased at the brewery, local liquor stores and at locations such as Total Wine & More, Whole Foods Market and Bevmo across the Valley, as well as enjoyed at The Market by Jennifer’s Restaurant + Bar.
J&G DISH
Dish: Butter poached shrimp with Hayden Flour Mills grits, grilled corn, gremolata, candied lemon ($14) Why: Bearded Blonde pairs well with any lighter fare, especially fish and sushi. We like to play on it a bit, recommending it with a richer item in the grits and butter, without overpowering. The secret to the pairing’s success, though, is lemon naturally brings out the flavor of the beer. Our candied lemon on the shrimp and grits paired with the brew makes for a perfect bite or sip every single time.
