It also didn’t hurt that my father had just returned from a successful
fishing outing on the bay and hooked us up with several beautiful rockfish steaks.
So my gift to Ash was a candlelit rockfish dinner for
two…
I looked at my plethora of holiday brews that are waiting in
the pantry, and picked the ale with the incredibly long name to have with
dinner…
American Strong Ale, (akin to IPAs)
Petaluma, California
7.6 % ABV
A deep golden color, aromas of citrus with a slight alcohol
flavor and hints of honey
Paired with fresh caught Chesapeake Bay Rockfish (by my dad)
in several iterations
-
Grilled eggplant medallions toped with parmesan
cheese and Balsamic reduction
-
Maryland rockfish & seafood soup
-
Grilled rockfish steaks over Israeli cous cous tossed with green peppers, red onions & mushrooms
The Lagunitas Holiday Ale was PHENOMENAL, one of the best
beers I have had, I love a beer that has sweet undertones, and this beer did
not disappoint, I can’t say enough about the flavor of this beer and while I
don’t do it justice in my description it is truly delicious…but dangerous, the 7.6
%ABV can hurt you because of it’s incredible drinkability.
"It also doesn't hurt that Lagunitas adorns their label with a Pitbull that resembles our beloved Blitzy".
98% score on Ratebeer, (it’s that good)
