I have not tried either Beer Geek Breakfast or Rouge Et Noir's triple creme, but will make it a point. I am surprised the imperial stout didn't overwhelm the triple creme, as a good triple creme is almost like butter. Another excellent pairing was Pelican's Tsunami Stout and apple strudel with vanilla ice cream. I gravitate towards bigger, hoppy beers, which tend to overwhelm many foods. I am not against beer/food pairings, it is always a mealtime consideration, I just haven't found too many pairings that standout, even when I step back from the hop bombs and mix in some Belgian styles. But I am a trooper and will keep pairing beer and food.Beer Roverhttp://beerrover.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437887117985617871.post-78578168810251363342010-10-10T14:07:54.743-07:002010-10-10T14:07:54.743-07:00How could you possibly be skeptical about beer/foo...How could you possibly be skeptical about beer/food pairings!? You have links to some excellent breweries and restaurants, so you obviously aren't missing out on either of these. I trust you've sat through some beer and cheese pairings that didn't tickle your fancy, but if I may suggest one of my favorite, Mikkeller's "Beer Geek Breakfast" and Rouge Et Noir's "Triple Creme Brie". Honestly, any double or triple cream brie would probably be equally delicious, but I just so happen to have a review of that pairing on my beer review blog. Let me know what you think...http://bleerbog.blogspot.com/2010/09/absolute-beercheese-must.htmlAshtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510279672989137796noreply@blogger.com
