Best Beer To Pair With Brisket Fries
Brisket fries are a hearty and flavorful meal that can be enjoyed with a refreshing beer to balance out the rich and smoky flavors of the meat and fries. Choosing the right beer can enhance the overall experience and elevate the flavors of the dish. While there are many beer styles that could potentially pair well with brisket fries, we’ve narrowed it down to our top 3 favorites.
American Pale Ale
A refreshing and hoppy American Pale Ale pairs perfectly with brisket fries. The bitterness of the hops cuts through the richness of the brisket and the fries, while the maltiness of the beer complements the smoky flavors of the meat. Plus, the citrus and pine notes of the hops add a nice refreshing element to the meal.
Brown Ale
A malty and slightly sweet Brown Ale is a great choice to pair with brisket fries. The caramel and toffee notes in the beer complement the caramelized flavors of the brisket, while the carbonation and bitterness help to cleanse the palate after each bite. The nutty and roasty flavors in the Brown Ale also pair well with the crispy and salty fries.
Stout
For a more bold and more robust pairing, try a Stout with your brisket fries. The roasted and chocolatey flavors in the beer complement the smokiness of the brisket, while the creaminess of the beer helps to balance the saltiness of the fries. Plus, the carbonation in the Stout helps to cut through the richness of the meat, leaving you ready for the next bite. A perfect pairing for those who want to indulge in a hearty and flavorful meal.
