We have revamped our beer list for the summer to bring to you a more selections from Craft breweries both on draft and by the bottle. The following are three new beers we recommend you try with your lobster dinner (best bet: $25 on Monday Night Lobster Night).
#1 Harpoon Hefeweizen UFO
Wheat beers are one of my favorite to pair with lobster. UFO Hefeweisen has a cloudy color typical of wheat beers. The taste is yeasty, zesty, and tangy with citrus flavors that are the perfect accompaniment to a summer seafood feast. If you’re a fan of Hefeweizens you will love this beer. $4.75 by the bottle on the new Saltwater Grille summer beer list.
FYI: Harpoon Brewery is located in Boston, Massachusetts and Windsor, Vermont. Owners Rich Doyle, Dan Kenary and George Ligeti were key players in the revolution of craft beer.
#2 Lagunitas IPA
The Lagunitas Brewing Company is a microbrewery in Petaluma, California that has gained a bit of a cult status. This IPA is pale in color and full in flavor. To me this is a super hoppy beer that can stand up to a meaty lobster with salty butter. Beer Advocate gave it 85 points. Try it on draft during Happy Hour for only $3 or $6 at it’s regular price.
#3 Blue Moon
Orange citrus and lemon on the nose. A medium bodied beer with a refreshing wheat flavor. Enjoy your Blue Moon garnished with a slice of orange to bring out the citrus flavors. Besides lobster Blue Moon is a great pairing for a light salad, chicken dish, or any raw bar course.
