This is the 21st year of this annual event and to celebrate its coming of age, beer has been "officially" included in the title of the event. Casa Pacifica Angels Wine, Food & BREW Festival kicked off its 2014 festival with a commercial beer competition on May 3rd.
To make the introduction of beer something really special, we added a commercial beer competition to the mix to highlight local and regional breweries. We thought this would be a great way to bring attention to the growing craft beer movement and give you a chance to explore new beers or beer styles and plan your beer tasting experience once you step through the gate.
What makes this competition something special is the judging panel was asked to provide food pairing suggestions for each of the beers that were entered into the festival. Below you will find their food pairing suggestions for Figueroa Mountain Brewing Company's, Paradise Rd. Pilsner. You might not be able to find all of their food pairing suggestions at the festival -some of them are pretty exotic- but use the suggestions as a guide to enhance your beer experience.

PARADISE ROAD PILSNER
ABV 5.5% • IBU 20 STYLE:BOHEMIAN PILSNER
INSPIRATION: Paradise Road is the namesake of our clean and crisp Bohemian style lager. Our golden pilsner is inspired by Paradise Road’s natural elements of refreshing streams and waterfalls and a place where you want to relax and drink a beer.
TASTING NOTES: The epitome of simplicity and delicacy: brewed with only the highest quality European lager malt and a German noble hop. This beer derives all of its character from the very delicate balance of malt sweetness and hop bitterness, and the procedural perfection exacted in creating it. Medium-bodied and malt-forward, the flavor of this beer is reminiscent of honeysuckle and fields of grain with a soft background of hop aroma.
