Fall’s officially in full swing!
We don’t know about you, but at Von Elrod’s comfort food and cozy sweaters are all we want this time of year. Plus, with all that crispness in the air, we can’t help but reach for a crisp beer.
A meal with a nice beer is great all year round, but how about taking it to the next level with food and beer pairings this season?
Von Elrod’s Fall Food & Beer Pairings
You can really level up your meal by pairing the right brew with the right dish. We don’t know the science behind it, but we’re pretty sure it might just be the magic of beer! 😉
The good news is you don’t need to be a beer connoisseur to appreciate a good pairing. So, feel free to explore different combos to discover your favorites. And if you’re ever unsure, don’t hesitate to ask your server for recommendations. In the meantime, check out these ideas. Cheers to finding your perfect match!
Paulaner Oktoberfest Märzen (6.0%)
Paulaner Brauerei, Munich, Germany
Flavor Profile: Full-bodied with rich malt, dark toffee notes, and a hint of fruitiness.
Pair With: German classics like pretzels, brats, or sauerkraut
Start your meal with our warm Classic Bavarian Pretzel. After that, keep things going with our Classic Bratwurst, a juicy, savory sausage, served with sauerkraut and caramelized onions. Just one bite takes your taste buds right to Oktoberfest!
Highland Clawhammer (5.0%)
Highland Brewing, Asheville, NC
Flavor Profile: Smooth and well-rounded, with a toasty malt character.
Pair With: BBQ or grilled meats
The Highland Clawhammer’s smooth, malt-forward profile complements bold, smoky flavors without overpowering them, so pairing this brew with one of BBQ plates is a no-brainer. Each order includes 1/2lb of your choice of meat and two sides. Whether you choose Texas Brisket, Carolina Pulled Pork, or Smoked Turkey, you’re sure to be satisfied. Or pair it with our Sausage Sampler, complete with bratwurst, Andouille, and jalapeño cheddarwurst, plus tangy sauerkraut and cowboy candy pickles on the side.
Jackalope Bearwalker (5.1%)
Jackalope Brewing Co., Nashville, TN
Flavor Profile: Maple syrup sweetness meets roasted chocolate malt and a kick of hoppy bitterness.
Pair With: Sweet and savory dishes
We couldn’t forget our brunch menu! For your starter, get our Sausage Balls, served with sawmill gravy and honey butter. Make it a full-on brunch feast by ordering our Chicken-Fried Chicken Biscuit for your main. Crispy chicken on a buttery biscuit, topped with Tabasco butter and sriracha honey, need we say more?
Alright, it’s pairing time! Grab a pint, order a plate, and let’s get to it!
Prost to fall!
