I love it when breweries supply food pairings for their beers. The folks at Heavy Seas beers have a wonderful website that explains their beers and provides some interesting beer pairings. This saves me a lot of calories in experimenting. I especially appreciate when breweries go out of their way to pair their beers with vegetarian dishes.
Pairing Suggestion: Vegetarian Chili
It is a no brainer to pair a dish with the same beer you used in it but this one takes it to another level. This recipe doesn't call for a lot of heat spices but you could push it just past your limits because this beer has enough malty sweetness to tamp down quite a bit of spicy heat. No need to roast any of the veggies before adding them to the chili, either. The roasted character (smokey, coffee, bitter chocolate flavors) in this beer will add that counterpoint to the chili as well.
