Suggestions for beer to go with the recipes from Saturday Kitchen 18/2/2012
Bacon, egg, tomato, fried bread and mushroom velouté
We Say: Brooklyn: Brown Ale, 330ml, TheDrinkShop.com £1.89
A firm hop character and roasty palate with a nice hop aroma
Cornish ling, grapefruit and prawn dressing, spiced quinoa and lemon yoghurt
We Say: Buxton: High Tor, 500ml, Beer Ritz £2.96
A complex malt backbone supports a big hop character. Fruity, with notes of citrus and caramel
Butter chilli chicken with chips
We Say: Flying Dog: Old Scratch Amber Lager, 35.5cl, Beer Ritz £2.26
A malty, mellow beer
Coquilles Saint Jacques with asparagus, leek and fennel
We Say: Jever: Pilsner, 500ml, Beers of Europe £2.09
Superb dry pilsner, with a pronounced grassy bitter hop aftertaste
No apologies for including two American beers this week – both superb ales.
