The Science Behind Food-Beer Pairings

from Idaho Booze Podcast · host Steven Koonce

I love food and beer pairings. Between two breweries and a distributor, I probably hosted more than thirty beer dinners, lunches, breakfasts, whatever. Dr. Bryan Le, from Mendocino Food Consulting, comes on the show to tell us why food and beer make such great pals and the science behind our favorite pairings. Then, I talk all about the wonderful Oktoberfests and other events happening this weekend in the Boise Beer Buddies calendar, and Warn Reserve releases its yearly Pumpkin Spice Cocktail syrup, so we use it to make some drinks.
