Best in fest - Enegren Brewing Company - Maibock

BEST OF SHOW
Picture
Food and beer pairing for:

Maibock - Helles Bock Spring Lager
​
This is our take on a traditional Bavarian style Maibock. This beer has lightly toasted and moderately sweet malt profile balanced with noble hops. We fermented this with a clean German lager yeast, spunded for natural carbonation and lagered it for 2 months. This is the perfect beer for the spring and pairs exceptionally well with any great food.

​6.7% ABV




Jason Hendrick:
 Glazed and charred short rib, aged cheese (salty and/or nutty)
Jorge Alem: German brat plate, beer mustard and a cigar
Erin Peters: Bratwurst, pork belly with jam, or Swiss cheese
Kevin Pratt: Rosemary chicken with asparagus, Osso buco with polenta, falafel 
Monie Wickenden:​ Schnitzel with red cabbage and caramelized onions
