An American Brown Ale aged on hard maple. This beer balances complex flavors of nuttiness, chocolate, roasted coffee, and sweet maple. A full bodied yet refreshing dark ale. ABV: 6.0% IBU: 34 SRM: 21 ![]() 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. ![]() Food Pairings for Timber Wolf Bourbon-Oaked Red Ale Kevin Indian Cuisine: savory or spicy Tandoori Korean Cuisine: Shabu Shabu Beef US Cuisine: Smoked ham, beef ribs Jason Dessert: Bourbon Bread Pudding From Wolf Creek Brewing Company's Webpage TASTING NOTES: Our American-style Red Ale that’s aged for a month on Buffalo Trace soaked American Oak with flavors of bourbon, caramel, and toasted oak that’s balanced by citrus hop flavors.
