A half day course which we launched to support the phenomenal growth of interest in matching beer with food. Not only in fancy 'gastro-pubs' but right across the pub and hospitality sector licensees and managers are becoming more and more aware of the potential for growing business by putting together menus with beer and food combinations and recommendations that both stimulate interest and uncover flavour matches that wine and food can't always meet. Great fun for the enthusiast and an opportunity to impress dinner guests with superb beer and food matches which wine can't reach! Have you ever thought of trying a Stilton cheese with a strong, traditional British ale? it beats wine or port hands-down! Or for a dark chocolate pudding, what better than a Belgian cherry beer, a wonderful combination of tartness and fruit which does wonders for the chocolate. It doesn't need to be an extravagant menu to put together successful beer and food combos, just a willingness to learn and experiment and bring together chefs and bar staff to create a beer and food menu that will attract customers and even make them dance!
