The #beersuggestioneers go light weight, broadcasting with an iPhone and two microphones from Barrelhouse 101.  We enjoy 5 sour beers from Port Brewing and all of them hold their own against the barrel aged beers.

The #beersuggestioneers go light weight -broadcasting with an iPhone and two microphones) and get primed for two flights of Port Brewing and Lost Abbey beers at Barrelhouse 101.  But, before they get started they need to decompress a bit after a heavy weekend of beer festivals that included the Firestone Walker International Beer Festival and the Casa Pacifica Wine, Food & Brew festival.

Best In Fest: American Red Ale

5/8/2014

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.
