Don't Stop Beerlieving Episode 9 - A Beer-Paired Menu for Me N U!

Michael and Chris address last week's challenge and Michael discusses a bit about his homebrew set up and his recipe. 

Michael then delves into the beginnings of beer and food pairing, a key point of Cicerone training, and how one might try to enhance not only their experience with beer but also their experience with food. 

Beer and food pairing is done through complementing different flavors or aromas in both, or contrasting them. A third method, and the most fun, is trying to create completely new flavors from the pairing. Michael talks through his own experience with pairing food with different alcohols, not just beer but wine and mead as well. 

A natural next step after attempting to cook with beer, the guys hope that you definitely try this at home! Give them your hot takes for this week's challenge!
