CIDER & DARK- LAGER-BRAI SED PORK POT ROAST WI TH SPINACH SPÄETZLE recipes on pages 158 & 159

SIDE LAUNCH DARK LAGER LCBO 437228, 473 mL, $2.80

This dark (aka dunkel) lager has a deliciously earthy aroma that makes it perfect for the deep, complex flavours developed through braising the pork. Understated notes of coffee and chocolate and, dare I say, leather add aromatic interest to the pairing without overwhelming the food. The lager has great drinkability and the dark toasting of the malt gives it loads of flavour without be- ing heavy, characteristics that make this an ideal beer choice for food.
