Back in May I had the pleasure of attending the Beer Academy’s 90 minutes tasting session “Beers over Britain Matched with Food” with a few mates. If you don’t already know about the Beer Academy then be sure to check out their course catalog. The Academy is part of the Institute of Brewing & Distilling. They run a series of courses around the UK for both professionals in the beer trade and beer enthusiasts.
The session we attended included matching some tasty British beers with food. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the food matching part. Time to start a campaign, with all my wine and foodie friends to branch out and to pair more beer with food.
Somehow my tasting notes from the evening got lost along the way home… But I know we started with an Italian Peroni Nastro Azzuro to clear the palette (good choice). Beer No 1 was St Peter’s Organic Ale, always good. Number 2 was Inns & Gunn a first for me, No 3 was White Shield IPA the classic IPA and we finished with Meantime London Porter perfect for the closing out this evening session in central London.
