What do I want to snack on while sipping Foreign Extra Stout? Zesty, fiery, crispy-crunchy things found in the chip aisle.

The Burgundy of Belgium! A beer that sips like a wine. Tart, oaky, and fruity, Flanders Red Ale is a beer that screams for steak! This is probably the most “on brand” pairing I’ll ever make (I will chalk it up to that age old adage of ‘ain’t broke-don’t fix’). This red ale pairs so well with red meat.
