Food Pairings
The tannins and acidity from barrel and foudre aging mean that this is a big beer that needs big flavours to play with. Gamey red meats lend them selves to the malt character and tannins while the acidity cuts through any richness. Beef Bourguignon hits all the right notes to pair with barrel character, acidity, fruits and malt, add a splash cooking while you’re at it!
