Pairings

OK, so I didn't ACTUALLY say EVERY DAY for 30 days (even if that's what I meant).

Work and family got in the way of grilling tonight, so let's talk about the best beverages with which to pair your Jucy Lucy.

Obviously, it's going to differ from Lucy to Lucy, but here are five choices that never fail to pair well with any Jucy Lucy:

1. Beer.

2. Beer.

3. Beer.

4. Beer

5. Beer




That's it. Don't hand my your "But a Pinot Noir, would pair so well with the subtle essence of the beef" bullshit. Or, "You can really taste the tannins in this Cabernet" crap.

It's beer or water. Take your pick.

If I had to pick three beers to pair with a Jucy Lucy it would be these:

1. Summit Extra Pale Ale - A legendary Twin Cities beer to pair with a legendary Twin Cities burger. Always perfect.

2. New Glarus Spotted Cow - For no other reason than it's the best beer on the face of the planet. Period. You could pair this with oyster balls and write a tome on it.

3. PBR - Yes. PBR. The burger comes from working class neighborhoods, so why not pair it with the best of working class beers?

So there you have it. You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick the best beer to have with your Jucy Lucy wisely enough.

Also, Keystone Light.
