Jason and I discuss the beer and food pairing options available at this year's Bounty of the County.  Bounty of the County is an annual event held each year at the Ventura County Fair, however this is the first year beer has been included! The event featured 3 Ventura County breweries and 3 Ventura County restaurants who worked together to create some delicious beer pairings.  A people's choice style competition was used to crown the best beer and food pairing combination at the event.

With a beer as big and malty as the Island Brewing Company's Jubilee Ale the #beersuggestioneers have plenty of #beerpairing suggestions!  

And, no matter how many times I say it - Jubilee Ale is a Scotch Ale, not a Belgian beer!-)

Jubilee AleThis beer falls into the Old Ale class of beers, a tradition of beers and brewing style emphasizing rich malt flavors, caramel sweetness, and a balanced finish. On the rare occasions we run out of this one at the tasting room, the locals give us an ear full. We can't blame them.

The Czech Republic has its share of classical composers and beautiful classical music. However, it's the Beer Barrel Polka that is arguably the best know song from the Czech Republic.

I know you'll enjoy any of the books below even more if you are imbibing at the same time!



Picture
This book is a treasure trove of beer information.  Use your kindle app to search for pilsner and read anything by Pete Brown.  There is a six-pack's worth of pilsner information in this book!

Picture
Pete Brown is a bloody brilliant, beer writer.  I've enjoyed all of his beer books but the you'll find a bunch of great pilsner information in the first few chapters of Three Sheets to the Wind.
Picture
Do you want to know more about pilsner, the beer?  Then this book is a great place to start. Continental Pilsener contains detailed descriptions about ingredients and brewing procedures that are essential to this beer.

Pilsners deserve a glass that is designed specifically to showcase their brilliant clarity and one narrow and tall enough to enjoy the line of bubbles lazily drifting up from the bottom of the glass.  All of the glasses below meet the aforementioned criteria.
