Recommended Beer Pairing

These beers are from the micro brewery Warehouse Brewing. You can find these beers at the brewery and at Sobeys liquor stores.

Accountant Ample Ale:

Rich amber in colour and high-ester, fruit aroma; this medium bodied beer has toasty, malt notes along with medium bitterness. This dry finish is accompanied by a light, and lingering bitterness. An excellent option for pairings with red meats, aged cheeses and maple syrup.

Factory Stout:

Jet black with medium roast coffee aroma along with hints of chocolate. Medium body coffee notes in the mouthfeel with a slight sweetness that has a dry finish. Easy to incorporate in dark sauces and marinades!

Sask Harvest Lager:

A premium pale German lager with a flavour reminiscent of lightly baked bread. Very approachable and refreshing with a slight tangy edge and low bitterness. A great go to beer for any occasion.
