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 and sometimes they come up with something totally unexpected like carrot cake.
Pairing Suggestion: Carrot Cake
This is a wonderfully complex beer pairing. The sweet malt backbone helps build a subtle base between the beer and the cake. Hop bitterness and sweet cake keep each other in check, preventing the other from become too overpowering. The spices in the cake resonate with the herbal hop flavors making them more pronounced. Loose Cannon has the last word, though as it cleanses the palate with its resinous hop bitterness.
If sweets aren't your thing you should try their cheese spread recipe. This sounds delicious!
